Anyone have any experience editing the skins of Flash componenets in MX 2004. This is what the help says:
"...Select the skin or skins that you want to edit...
The skins are located in the Themes > MMDefault > Component Assets folder (in this example, Themes > MMDefault > RadioButton Assets > States)..."
I have no such folder in the application, application support folder and it's not in any menus in the program itself. I need to get to the guts of the component to customize it.

If you really want to do this, you can find many of the general components in the Application Support-->Macromedia-->Flash MX 2004-->en-->Configuration-->Comp... folder.
Those files are very abstract from a graphic standpoint. To figure out how to reskin any of those assets would be much more time and effort than starting from scratch and coding all your script your immediate need. I guess my road to learning how to work with components stops right here. I just wish Macromedia would support DESIGNERS as well as programming geniuses.

you're right, believe me... When you can make a scrollbar with only 3kb instead of MM's 38kb then you stop using those components...
