Using skins with the Button component
The Button component includes 32 different skins that can be customized to correspond to the
border and icon in 16 different states. To skin the Button component while authoring, create new
movie clip symbols with the desired graphics and set the symbol linkage identifiers using
ActionScript. (See
The default implementation of the Button skins provided with both the Halo and Sample themes
uses the ActionScript drawing API to draw the button states, and uses a single movie clip symbol
associated with one ActionScript class to provide all skins for the Button component.
The Button component has many skins because a button has so many states, and a border and
icon for each state. The state of a Button instance is controlled by four properties and user
interaction. The properties that affect skins include the following:
Property

toggle
