Re: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: Button :: Getting custom skins to refresh IE getStyle() is used

Hey Manish!

Well kindof.

I have subclassed Button in an mxml component.

I have defined a get set property swatchColor in the mxml component(extended Button).

The problem is, how do I define a style for an mxml component, and yes man, I have almost read the WHOLE frekin beta docs ;-)

I didn't really think I needed a style implementation for this because it is actually a property(pre processing) not a style of the mxml component.

ANyway, you set this like;

currentSwatchButton.swatchColor = color (which is the current decimal color of the copied swatch).

Now, the weird thing that happens here is;

- first I know that the button is getting it's new property defined, becasue I have tested it. So this means we know the button has it's swatchColor defined. Now the problem arises when I click on the new swatch and it ONLY SHOWS the new color in the selectedDownSkin, but no other skins are updated UTNIL I call currentState = 'basicState' OR some call like that.

If I don't change state, the WHOLE skin set is not RE RENDERED with the NEW swatch color. Remeber this is actually a toggle button. so I am using selected and normal states of the Button.

Now, the reason I am not making this a style is I need additional preprocessing when the swatch color is set on the Button.

Let's say you find a way to do this right with the swatchColor being a style, well I could easily implement this pre-processing in the styleChanged override, but I wanted to avoid this for procedural sake.

thanks Manish! any thoughts now? :)

Peace, Mike

So you have subclassed Button and "swatchColor" is your own style?

Try calling super.styleChanged(null) from where you're changing the colour.
