You're raising a very complex question, since skinning can be complicated in Flex 3.
I won't try to make any suggestions, because I'm not qualified. But I will point out that if your original design is in Illustrator, then it's likely that most of the elements *are* vector-based, since Illustrator creates vector-, rather than pixel-based, graphics. You can import pixel-based elements, such as photos, into Illustrator. But since Illustrator is, at heart, a drawing program, it's built to be vector-based. You might take a look at this article -- http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_photoshop_illustrator.html -- and perhaps other info on the Adobe site. With the CS3 Suite, they've begun to work hard to make their core graphics tools work with Flex/Flash more easily (even without Thermo). -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
