Have a look at Tinks blog article as well. http://www.tink.ws/blog/seemless-animated-skins-in-flex/ Gingerbread men skins are the next big thing, apparently :-) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Ingram Sent: 19 November 2007 09:30 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Animated overSkin (how to use more than one frame of a symbol) Thanks for the links, I had seen the programmatic approach before but was hoping to go with just an artwork approach. I'll see how the designer gets on with this! Thanks, Mark ________________________________

I just wrote a tutorial about using the FCK to create a "stateful" skin with transitions. You can read it here : http://tinyurl.com/yoxqcq <http://tinyurl.com/yoxqcq> . The tutorial describes how to make a basic transition, but you could easily elaborate on it to do what you're looking for. Hope that helps.
