Creating customized shapes

[erjona]

Hello,
I'm quite new in Flex and I wanted to try to build an application using Flex.
I would like to know if there is any possibility to create customized shapes
with Flex for example shapes like clouds and arrows and then use these shapes
in the web based application with a simple drag and drop.

Thanks in advance for your help
Erjona!

Hi,

I'm new to flex too but I think this you would have to make the shapes in
flash and apply them as skins in flex. You can get the flash flex template
extensions here [url]http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex_skins[/url]

Thanks

Yeah, you can create a button for example by extending the existing Button
class, and then use graphical or programmatic skins so it looks totally
different. And because you are extending an existing Flex class you get drag
and drop support and much more. See the FB3 help system.
