Try Themes with Ease

I set up a quick system to allow ScaleNine themes to be used in Flex without having to download the source files from the homepage. Simply copy one of the following urls and paste it into the source attribute of a mx:Style tag in your working MXML under the Application tag. However, If you decide on using one of the themes I would suggest downloading the source for the theme you settled on and load it into your Flex project. A couple of weird things happen if you don’t do that, like disappearing images.

Obsidian Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/obsidian/obsidian.css

iTunes 7 Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/itunes7/jukebox.css

WMP 11 Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/wmp11/wmp11.css

Moxy CSS Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/moxy/moxy.css

Minty CSS Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/minty/minty.css

Shadow CSS Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/shadow/shadow.css

Darkroom Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/darkroom/darkroom.css

Vista Blue Theme: http://try.scalenine.com/vistaBlue/vistaBlue.css

Note: You must run/compile your project to see the theme get applied. It would be nice to see the theme change a project right inside Flex Builder rather than having to compile/run it. Maybe in a future release.

    Are you trying to add runtime css style switching using the ThemeSwapper source files?

    First off in this line I noticed a uppercase character that shouldn’t be like that:

    Error: Unable to load style(SWF is not a loadable module): style/obsidianGFx.swf.

    style/obsidianGFx.swf should be style/obsidianGfx.swf with a lowercase f in Gfx.

    Maybe check to make sure that swf is getting called out correctly.

    Khalil -

    You know, I haven’t tried implementing these themes in Flash 8, but a couple people have mentioned it would be possible. Maybe using the FLA files? I’m not sure. Maybe someone will speak up here about whether or not this is possible, and if so, how to do it. In the mean time, I’ll try and do a little research myself.

    If you find anything out, please let me know.

    Murugan-

    This error was brought up by another person. What you have to do is in Flex 2.0.1 make sure that you right-click on the CSS files in the “style” folder of the source and select “Compile CSS to SWF”. This is what enabled the runtime CSS swapage.

    Hope that solves it. I’ll add notes to the source to prevent this in the future.

    Juan

    Sxm,

    Are you referring to the error in the ThemeSwapper example? If so, in Flex 2.0.1 make sure that you right-click on the CSS files in the “style” folder of the source and select “Compile CSS to SWF”.

    What is the error exactly and when does it occur?

    I get this error
    Unable to load style(SWF is not a loadable module):

    I did compile all three skins. All three used to work (before I installed Apollo plugin for eclipse) but now Itunes one doesn’t
