I got the same error message. Do you have any luck?

Thank you.

I will have to give this a try again. The first time I tried something like this I received cast errors saying that I couldnt cast type Bitmap to type Class. I havent seen anything in the docs about this but I will dig some more in hopes there is something in there.

Thanks,

Lance

There should be an example in the docs.

- use Loader; load in the bitmap

- cast the loader.content to Class

- pass that in as:

my_btn.setStyle("upSkin", loadedContent);

Nice example. Only thing is that you have to embed all resources even if they arent used. Also adding resources would required a recompile.

So far I have gotten to the point that I can load in a CSS file at run time and change styles but I havent figured out a way to load in even a JPG at runtime and use as a new skin without embedding it in the application.

Hi Guys,

You can change styles at run-time by changing the styleName property, or by using setStyle(). Styles can be mxml tags or declared in CSS.
<mx:Style>    
    .myCustomButton1 {
        overIcon:Embed("overIconImage1.gif");
        upIcon:Embed(source="upIconImage1.gif");
        downIcon:Embed(source="downIconImage1.gif");
    }
</mx:Style>
<mx:Style>    
    .myCustomButton2 {
        overIcon:Embed("overIconImage2.gif");
        upIcon:Embed(source="upIconImage2.gif");
        downIcon:Embed(source="downIconImage2.gif");
    }
</mx:Style>
<mx:Button id="myButton" label="Icon Button" styleName="myCustomButton1"/>
Change in AS at run-time:

myButton.styleName = "myCustomButton2";
