RE: [flexcoders] Combining graphic and programmatic themes - a better way?

[Brian Deitte]

Hi Jim, that's a pretty interesting solution that technically should work, but the catalog.xml has many exceptions, caveats, and magical properties.  I would suggest staying away from it if you can.  Did you try just adding both the programmatic and graphical skins to the SWC (through compc or Flash Authoring)?  I don't see any real reason why you cannot add both of these to a SWC file.  Can you tell me where this is in the documentation?  Thanks, Brian   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Phelan Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2005 1:17 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Combining graphic and programmatic themes - a better way? Hi all,   I’m new to the list and somewhat new to Flex development.   I found this in the Macromedia documentation: You cannot combine both programmatic skins and graphical skins in a single SWC file.   After toying with it for a while, I found that by manually editing the catalog.xml file in the swc and adding my swf of graphical elements manually, I was able to accomplish what I wanted. Is there a more streamlined solution to this? Has anyone created a utility to automate this? If not, is there an interest in such a utility?   Best,     -- Jim Phelan VP of Development Stream57, LLC 462 7th Ave Suite 401 New York, NY 10018 --   -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
