Cannot Create Custom Mobile ButtonSkin in Burrito

[Red_Hammer_digitalworks]

Using Flash Builder Burrito on Windows XP. In design mode, when I right-click on button and then choose 'Create Skin', as I begin to populate the fields, I get the message 'The skin specified to copy is not valid' when referencing: 'spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin' within the 'Create as copy of field'. When I twirl the drop-down I do not even see the 'mobile' package under spark.skins so I have tried adding various swc's/themes to the build path from the 4.5 sdk but no luck. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to create mobile MXML skin in a  'Flex' project. To use mobile components/skins, create a new 'Flex Mobile' project and create an AS Class extending from spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin and use it as skinClass.

Note: spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin is a skin class in mobiletheme project.

It is a mobile project that I am working in.The specific scenario is this:

- Open a mobile view in Design Mode

- Right click on Button

- Choose 'Create Skin...' from the context menu

- Enter anything into the 'package' or 'name' fields and I get this error: 'The skin specified to copy is not valid.' Note that Host component is pre-populated as 'spark.components.Button' and 'Create as copy of' is pre-populated and selected as 'spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin'.

I suspect this is a bug in the Flex 4.5 pre-release...but would like to know for sure.

Thanks

Since no one answered and I was looking for a similar problem, here is what I did:

- the theme is located in the installation folder:  ~\4.5.0\frameworks\themes\Mobile\mobile.swc

- I've imported the Theme from the Appearance View

- I've selected the mobile theme as my current theme and I am still not able to find the spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin

here it says it is a preview: Reference

so, it might not be available yet.

Have fun.

Claudiu.
