Question

Hi I have a little problem. Is there a way to identify which skin is applied to button? I want to use an if-else statements…

//if Skins.skin1 is used
    //statements...
//else if Skins.skin2 is used
   //statements...

Answer 1

Spark components that extend SkinnalbleComponent, like the Button have a skin property. It is set after Flex attaches the the skin to the component. It could be null, for example, if you create the Button in Actionscript and immediately check the value of skin.

You can query the skin for it’s type like this:

if (button.skin is SkinClass1)
{
    // do something
}
else if (button.skin is SkinClass2)
{
    // etc.
}

Or even:

switch (true)
{
    case button.skin is SkinClass1:
        // do something
        break;
    case button.skin is SkinClass2:
        //
        break;
}
