Flash Component Sample Themes

Free Members Tutorial

Sample Themes come with Flash 8/MX04 and are a very easy to use. They enable you to change the look of the Flash Components to look more like the default Windows style as opposed to the newer Halo Effect. Normally when you drag a Component from the Library onto the Stage, Flash will automatically apply the Halo Theme to your Component.

Example: Download the Flash file Com 607a & 607b

As you can see the Sample Theme that has more of the Windows 2000 look and feel. Below is an example file set up to let you view real-time how the Button, CheckBox, ComboBox, List, RadioButton, and TextArea Components behave when their style properties are changed for the Sample Theme:

Example: Download the Flash file Com 607c
