Hello, I apologize if this is a duplicate message; my messages do not seem to be appearing on the Yahoo forum.
A friend looked this over and he found what was going on: - GridBorders.as and GridBorders.mxml are both going to create a class called GridBorders, which is bad. The mxml one takes precendence, so the entire application is being used as the border skin. Then that app. has a border skin which is the app. again, and you have a recursive situation. If you rename GridBorders.mxml to GridBordersTest.mxml, the recursion won't occur. - In the .as file, mx.core.EdgeMetrics needs to be imported. - Also in the .as file, graphics.clear() is needed at the top of updateDisplayList. - Rob -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Simeone Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 12:11 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Programmatic Skinning bug in Flex? I found the problem. It's in my CSS file. If there's a "borderStyle" property as defined below the application hangs. Take out the "borderStyle" property and the app runs.
