I have a Flex button. I need one color on the left and another

  • 0

I have a Flex button. I need one color on the left and another on the right. I don’t need it to be a gradient. Just solid colors. Like green on left & red on right. I really don’t want to use an image — just because it’ll probably take me a long time to do it.

The gradients via Flex Properties in Flex Builder seems to apply only vertically, not horizontally.

I also tried to make 2 button, each half width (of original), and putting it into a HBox & really packing them close so they’ll look like a single button with 2 colors. It works OK, but I was thinking if there was a better way.

Thanks.

    This link http://blog.timeister.com/2009/01/16/flex-custom-button-skin/ provides a nice way to do exactly what I wanted above. It needs 2 classes: one subclasses ButtonSkin & the other Button. Link them both via CSS and use them in mxml. Simple & easy.
