i just posted a new article that explains the basics of skinning (i.e., changing the graphics of) flash mx 2004's so-called "V2 components". learn what a skin is, how it compares to styles, how to alter the skin of a component, and see a ProgressBar redesigned right before your very eyes.
spoiler: the end of the article also discusses an alternative to skinning the notoriously petulant Button component.
