RE: [flexcoders] Theme and Loader
In 1.5, themes are a linker trick. Basically, the default version of a symbol is substituted at the last second for a themed version of the same symbol. Its pretty evil. AS2 semantics were don't redefine a class that is already defined when a new SWF is loaded as a child. I would thus expect that when you dynamically load a second app, that second app may well end up as a mishmash, where classes already defined in the parent that were themed are also themed in the child, but classes that are only in the child are not themed. However, anything that uses simple assets (attachMovie) probably stays within the context of a single SWF, because there is no cross-SWF asset reference in FP7. So anyway, there is no runtime theme application. It only works at link time, and only for the app you defined it on. If I specify the theme for app2.mxml also, then loader fails to load app2.mxml. What happens? That's kinda odd. If you're consistent, everything should work. One (ugly) possibility is that you might create some RSLs that have your theme baked in, and have your server provide a different SWF for a given URL based on some other parameter. Sorry I don't have better news, but this whole area was really sketchy in Player 7, so what little theme support we added took a lot of magic. Things should be much better in Flex 2/FP8.5 , hopefully. It should be possible (although we aren't exploiting this) to build an entire runtime skinning system for an 8.5 app. -rg -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bss_rao Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 12:38 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Theme and Loader Hi, There is a problem in loading an external mxml using loader control when there is theme set in application tag. It never gets initialized. Here is the sample scenario, There are two flex applications, app1.mxml and app2.mxml. I have applied a theme (mac / XP / pulseBlue etc) for app1.mxml in application tag using theme attribute. I created a loader control which will load app2.mxml which does not have any theme specified. It fails to apply the theme that was specified in app1.mxml to app2.mxml. If I specify the theme for app2.mxml also, then loader fails to load app2.mxml. To apply the theme to app2.mxml also what should be done?

RE: [flexcoders] theme
Yep, that's definitely an oversite in the styles chapter. The themeColor property, while visible on the asdoc page for the Application object, really should be mentioned in the DevApps book too since it's effect is so dramatic.
