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.
