I can't remember what email, but I showed the
CSS. Can't you just use the same DateChooser CSS?
NextButton
{
upSkin:
ClassReference("mx.skins.halo.DateChooserMonthArrowSkin");
downSkin: etc.....
}
Then, just make a MXML file that extends
Button.
???

gotcha!
Now the question, I want to create a custom
component called NextButton that acts the same as the one in the DateChooser and
inherits the skin the same as the one in the DateChoser thus seemlessly
interacting with the Flex framework. Adobe has let loose the source code
for DateChooser. Does Adobe envision some of us copying some of their code
in order to fulfill such a community benefiting component?

My guess is that was done for filesize
reasons. The resulting SWF is smaller since ActionScript bytecode is a
lot smaller via lzw compression than a PNG/GIF via the same. While the
drawing is more CPU intensive, you cut corners for filesize where you can, and
I understand their justification.

update...had some pressing issues.
looking at
\frameworks\source\mx\skins\halo\DateChooserMonthArrowSkin.as
looks like
this thing does not even use a graphic at all. Code in there actually
draws the arrows! I suppose this way screen scaling is a
non-issue.

I
still have not got this working yet. Looking deeper into the source
for the DateChooser and the DateChoser skin I have
found that the code actually draws the arrow. The DateChooser code adds styles like prevMonthOverSkin and
nextMonthOverSkin with default values. These styles names are expected
in teh programmatic skin and do not exist in the Button class. So
Jester, me got brave...not so brave as Mel Gibson mind you, I like me
entrails!
This is a excerpt:
fwdMonthButton = new
Button();
fwdMonthButton.styleName =
this;
fwdMonthButton.autoRepeat =
true;
fwdMonthButton.focusEnabled =
false;
fwdMonthButton.upSkinName =
"nextMonthUpSkin";
fwdMonthButton.overSkinName =
"nextMonthOverSkin";
fwdMonthButton.downSkinName =
"nextMonthDownSkin";
fwdMonthButton.disabledSkinName = "nextMonthDisabledSkin";
ugh
where does Button.upSkinName come from? Its not in th edocs that i can
see.

workie....hope jester's bag of tricks is deep!
I
looked around the Flex SDK source and see no arrow pngs at all, many
other pngs though. My guess is the arrows are compiled in a swc
somewheres, which means they should be 'grabable' eh? Be nice to
use any graphics in the SDK in custom components to maintain the
'Flexiness', eh?
What
I'm trying to do is create a next/previous month browser. We have
reports that users run on a month end basis, the datechoser is really
not the right tool for this. I'm just using mxml to do this
currently...suppose I will have to go off and lear the way of the force
for building components soon.

Hrm...
try:
<mx:Button
click="onPrev()" upSkin="mx.skins.halo.DateChooserMonthArrowSkin"

If that
doesn't work, I have more ideas.
The
skin is already imported in the defaults.css , so she IS in
there.

Found
these digging in DateChooser.as. I'm assuming these skins are
compiled into the base framework. Try using like
DateChooserMonthArrowSkin as one of your upSkins and see what
happens.

So,
I'm creating a custom component with next/previous
functionality. I'd like to use the same arrows on say the
DateChooser control. Are these avaialbale to the developer
somehow?
