Popup skin question

Question

I am currently trying to tweak the PopUpRenderSkin in the flex viewer with the 2.5 source.  I cannot seem to get the text to align in the popup box so that it defaults to the left.  I added the skin to the appropriate folder and also to my default.css file.  Does anyone have any insight as to where I can change some setting to get this to work for me.  I am a bit new to all this, so any help is much appreciated.

Andrew,

The descriptionForm component is declared in the actionScript code not the MXML code you can find it in the commitProperties function.I am assuming that the script adds in the certain elements to the vGroup if the criteria in the popup.xml is met?

That is correct.

Robert, I went ahead and put a Radiobutton on the skin, and it was applied. I however had to add the line vGroup.addElement(radioButton); underneath where the script adds the ZoomToButton to get it to work. I am assuming that the script adds in the certain elements to the vGroup if the criteria in the popup.xml is met? I also tried changing the .formStyle under the element. When I added in the line fontSize: 20; It made the text in the popup large. As you can see by the code below, there is no declaration of the descriptionForm, yet it is being added via the script. I am totally lost. Thanks for the speedy reply! 🙂

Andrew,

So can you make some other dractic change (like add a button or something) to the skin so that you can see if you are really getting your custom skin for the popup?
