multiple button component skins

  • Hi,

    I have been use a button component by dragging it to the library and then modifying its button states. All this is great but now I want to add a second button component to my application. When I drag a new button component to the library all seems well except there is not another folder of button states for me to modify. How can I use two or more button components and give them all different skins.


    Thanks,

    waffe


  • I'm having the same problem. I want to use multiple buttons with different styles.....but it won't let you.

    Anyone know how this is done?


  • Good afternoon,

    I'm having a similar~ish problem in this thread:

    Although over on flashkit, I got this answer, which might help you guys:

    You "just" need to create a new version of the skin you want to "duplicate" (right click on button state in Library, for example: Button_selectedUpSkin and duplicate it) and then apply it the that object using the code outlined above. Seems like an awfully clumsey way to do it, but I suppose these clever chaps at Adobe know best ! This is fine if you want a finite (and limited) number of button skins, but not if you have users who could select any of millions of colours. Still doesn't help me though.
