Skinning Halo scroll bar in Flex

Question

I have the Spark scroll bar in my application skinned the way I want where I use s|VScrollBar and then set skinClass: ClassReference(my skin class) in my CSS file. For my Halo scroll bar I have the skins set for each element of the scroll bar (arrows, thumb, track, etc.) but I want to have one central class like with the Spark scroll bar. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, but not in the same way as you can in Spark. Spark was made for easy skinning which is the great thing about Flex 4, but Flex 3 did things very differently.

What you can do is extend the Flex 3 scrollbar into a custom class that sets all those elements in it. Then within that project, just reference that custom class. Sadly, that's all that can be done.
