Please help
There is virtually no documentation on Flex skinning. I am really
struggling with border sizes and content sizes with custom skins, in
particular Panel skins using the borderSkin property.
I'm currently trying to skin an Alert box. I have the following
properties set:
Alert {
color:#ffffff;
borderSkin: Embed(source="flex_skins.swf", symbol="Panel_popupSkin2");
headerHeight: 30;
paddingTop: 20;
paddingBottom: 4;
}
My content only just fits, after much pixel pushing. It is still not
perfect as it is all squashed in. I have tried various things, that
have had no effect such as:
- tweaking the scale-9 borders in the .fla symbol
- setting verticalGap in the style
- setting borderThickness in the style
This is very frustrating as there only seems to be 1 definitive
document on skinning[1] which doesn't cover detailed concepts like how
to structure the .fla symbols.

documented in Flex Help)
Where could I find out more information on skinning?
