For example the spark ComboBox.

  • Where is the default skin?
  • Is it generated (at compile or runtime)?
  • If it was in fact written by someone how does the compiler/Virtual Machine know where to find the skin class? I didn’t see a location specified in the ComboBox source.

Thanks!

Edit: Sorry originally meant to say skin by typed style instead

    Spark components use mostly skins. The default skin is defined in the defaults.css file which gets compiled into the spark.swc. The CSS for ComboBox looks like this:

    ComboBox
{
/*  dropShadowVisible: true; in spark.css */
    paddingBottom: 3;
    paddingLeft: 3;
    paddingRight: 3;
    paddingTop: 5;
    skinClass: ClassReference("spark.skins.spark.ComboBoxSkin");
}

    So, the class spark.skins.spark.ComboBoxSkin is defined as default skin for ComboBox. You can find the complete file in your Flex SDK (frameworks/projects/spark/defaults.css).

    If you want to find out more about this take a look at the following topics on Adobe Flex Help:
