Using skins with the DateChooser component
The DateChooser component uses skins to represent the forward and back month buttons and
the today indicator. To skin the DateChooser component while authoring, modify skin symbols
in the Flash UI Components 2/Themes/MMDefault/DateChooser Assets/States folder in the
library of one of the themes FLA files. For more information, see
on page 80.
Only the month scrolling buttons can be dynamically skinned in this component. A
DateChooser component uses the following skin properties:
Property
backMonthButtonUpSymbolName
backMonthButtonDownSymbolName
backMonthButtonDisabledSymbolName
fwdMonthButtonUpSymbolName
fwdMonthButtonDownSymbolName
fwdMonthButtonDisabledSymbolName
The button symbols are used exactly as is without applying colors or resizing. The size is
determined by the symbol during authoring.
