You can create a custom skin. See the EditorSkin.mxml file in the skins folder that's in the api zip download.

I'm only a few days in with the Flex API and things having been going well.  However, I would also like to customize the editor skin.  I see that you do this in the editorskinmxml.  Bit Can you point me in the direction for resources on how to do this?  So I just edit the editorskin.mxml? Or Should I create a custom/new skin.mxml?

Thanks,
Joe

The best way is to make a copy of the existing skin.  Then use that skin either by setting the skinclass in the Style section as in the help doc above, or just set the skinClass property on the component you are skinning.  The latter is the way it is done in the Flex Viewer.

<esri:Editor id="myEditor" 
    skinClass="MyEditorSkin"
.../>

Bjorn,

Thanks for the resources.  However, I've completely confused myself.  All I really want to do is remove the "Delete" button from the InfoWindow in the default editor.

I created a copy of the InfoWindow skin, reference it in my application, looked high and low in the code, but for the life of me I don't know how to remove that button.  Can you tell me how?

Thanks,
Joe

Hello,

I find it a bitter/sweet victory today to find out that all you have to do is add the - deleteEnable="false" - property to the esri:Editor package. 

<esri:Editor id="myEditor" bottom="4" width="200" height="120" deleteEnabled="false" 
      geometryService="{myGeometryService}" horizontalCenter="-204" map="{myMap}"
      skinClass="com.esri.ags.skins.EditorSkin"/> 

Wow.  I feel relieved and stupid at the same time (but mostly relieved).  Because now I understand how to use the "commands" in the Public Properties section of the API reference.  My Flex API development world just got a whole lot bigger.  I suppose this is part of "taking you lumps" as in most cases when you jump into something with no prior experience. 

However, it would be nice if there were a paragraph or two in the space just below the "All Packages" and "All Classes" headings generally explaining what packages and classes are, and how to use them.  Maybe a short example? 

Anyway, I still appreciate everyone's help on this post.
