Updated components to Flex 4 sdk final
Keywords: custom component, release sdk, skinning, Spark
During the past year I’ve posted a couple of custom Gumbo (flex 4 beta) components and skins.
Since they’ve been built on beta sdks, these components might need some adjustments to work with the Flex 4 release sdk.
To save you the work of figuring out what to adjust here are the most requested components updated to Flex 4 release sdk. Click on the images, view source is enabled.

Thanks for the post.
When I use this code inside my application it works fine. But if I put these buttons inside some panel then this skinning doesn’t work at all.
Please provide your suggestion.

Lakhan,
Which code are you referring to? Are you mxing Halo (Panel) and Spark (Buttons) Components? Try setting the skin class directly on the property and not via styles.

Hi Andy,
I am using Spark theme for my Flex project. There I am putting buttons inside tag. But its not working.
However if I remove Panel tag, its works fine. I am using the same code as posted by you.
Thanks

I assume you mean the FXGIcons? I did a quick test and put them inside a panel and it works fine. Are you sure you are using the Sparks panel
and not the Halo equivalent? Looks like the styles inheritance gets broken in your app.
