Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to developing in Flex and using Flash Builder. I am trying to modify, or even open some of the flex API files found inside my referenced library, but get an error message saying "The source code couldn't be found" (screen shot attached). Also, all the files for the API have a .abc extension. I believe I followed the 'Getting Started' guide correct and have tried fresh downloads, but still no luck. My Link Types is set as: Merged into Code for the API's swf.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is the expected behavior as the source code for the Flex API is not open source. The API Library is a compiled library and cannot be modified.

Clearly the above is obvious. Am I right in saying that you can change the skins found within the API? I see several posts referring to making changes to the API skins. Anyway, thanks for clearing this up Bjorn.

Yes the skins are included when you download the API.  You can modify them and then reference them accordingly in your application.
