trying to edit skin

(2007-12-05 - views: 4779)
Q: Pardon my ignorance, but I can't seem to access the MovieClips of the main ColorPicker skin. I'd like to be able to turn it into a simple square of color with a gray bg. How do I assign the basic (square) skin that seems to reside in the library?
A: You need to import into your project's Library the assets used by the color picker component. You can find them in the .zip file of the full version component.

You need to open the ColorPickerProV3Assets.fla file found in the Assets folder. Next, copy the ColorPickerProV3 folder from the newly opened .fla file's Library into your project's Library. If it asks you to leave the original items or replace them with the new ones, select "Replace existing items".

In the new folder of your project's Library , you can find all the assets used by the default skin of the color picker. You can modify all of them, but it is very important not to change any instance names of the items, otherwise the component will not work.

The above instructions give me the following error: "The selected component is not supported by ActionScript 3.0. To use the component, you must target ActtionScript 2.0."
Install the AS3.0 mxp
posted by jumpeyecomponents on 2008-01-15
Probably you have installed the AS2.0 mxp version and you're trying to replace it inside a AS3.0 document. Please install the AS3.0 mxp (you should received it together with the AS2.0 mxp) then try the steps described above. Please let me know if this was the problem.
AS3 version
posted by wavelength on 2008-01-15
No, it's definitely the AS3 version (ColorPickerV3AS3.mxp). I've got the component working fine with an AS3 document, it's just when I try to follow your instructions to customize the skin that I get the error.
Worked around

Actually I found an easy way to get the same effect - I added a mask layer to the color picker and added my own button over the top. Seems to work fine.

I don't know what's causing the error. I can't think of anything I did wrong but maybe I missed something.
You need the AS3.0 assets
posted by negush on 2008-01-17
The error message is because the assets you've imported are for the AS2 version of the component and they make use of AS2 components (SliderControl and NumericSlider). The assets for the AS3 version were previously in the AS3 folder of the .zip file. We've moved them to the assets folder so now you should have both the assets for AS2 and AS3 in the Assets folder of the .zip file. Just login to your jumpeyecomponents account and download it again from your downloads list.
Thanks

So if I've got this right the instructions should read "open the AssetDefaultTheme_AS3.fla" rather than "open the ColorPickerProV3Assets.fla file". That seems to work although I can't be sure - for my project I've already gone with my workaround. Thanks again. The component works great BTW.
skining problem
posted by MaxZ on 2010-02-06
hi! I have a question - I had troubles installing mxp file and I took component from "Color_Picker_Pro_V3\Version AS 3.0\1. Create a simple Color Picker\color_picker_simple.fla" . I want to change the design of the picker - so I've opened AssetDefaultTheme_AS3.fla and took library folder called JumpeyeUIComponents from there and placed inside of as3 fla where I just pasted Color_Picker_Pro_V3. But when I change something in assets inside of JumpeyeUIComponents folder nothing changes in color picker.
Tell me please a solution for this case.
skining problem CS4
posted by florodebat on 2010-02-10
Hello Max

Are you somehow using the component within Flash CS4 ? I am asking you because importing the Default theme assets (from the default theme .fla file provided with the package) into the Library of your project, to edit the theme will no longer work in Flash CS4. However, you can still change the theme of the component with one of the other themes provided with the package or purchased separately.
CPPv3 AS3 Skinning problem FL CS3
posted by DigitalDoyle on 2010-04-02
Hi there.

I've checked the knowledge base and can't find anywhere my challenge has been addressed, and could use a little help please.

I purchased the AS3 version of the CPPv3 component with the goal of modifying the Easy skin a bit to fit my design for the touch screen kiosk app I'm creating for a museum. I'm using Flash CS3 to do the app development (don't need the Pro options for this app).

First thing I did was to simply install the ColorPickerProV3AS3 component and drag an instance out onto the stage, give it an instance name and try it out. The default seemed to work fine and generate no errors. So far, so good.

I then followed the instructions in this KB topic to modify and custom skin the component and copied the assets for the component, first from the ColorPickerProV3Assets.fla file in the Assets folder, and pasted them into my app's Library.

Before attempting any changes to the component's clips I tried compiling a swf in the IDE and got this Compiler Error:

"Warning: 5002: The frame scripts of the symbol 'Default_style1_ProMode' have been ignored because a compiled clip contains a definition for Default_style1_ProMode. To override the Default_style1_ProMode definition, place a custom class file within your classpath."

Thinking that I had the wrong Assets, I deleted the JumpeyeUIComponents folder in my app's library and then opened the AssetDefaultTheme_AS3.fla inside the "Version AS 3.0" folder and copied the JumpeyeUIComponents from there into my app. But I'm still getting the above error.

When I delete the JumpeyeUIComponents folder from the library, the error goes away. Also, since I only need the Easy mode, I deleted the Pro asset folder and the error went away.

I seem to be able to modify the skin parts as I need, but I'm curious about that error. I'd like to be able to use the Pro mode on another project someday.

Any insight as to what I'm missing or doing incorrectly would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Flash CS4 compatibility
posted by Meinaart on 2011-05-14
Is there already a skin FLA file available that works in Flash CS4?

I really like this component but I must be able to skin it before I can use it in my current project.

Unfortunately, there isn't a new version for CS4 or CS5 yet.
Is there any timeline for a CS5 version ?

Don't know about anyone else, but I would REALLY appreciate that.... CS3 is very much out of date !

No, we don't have a timeline for a CS5 version. We know that CS3 is out of date and we are considering creating a CS5 version but nothing is decided yet.
