It took me a while to figure out what was wrong, the warning could not be bigger, that was very helpful. DO NOT PUT [Flash CS3]/en/Configuration/Component Source/ActionScript 3.0/User Interface INTO YOUR FLEX BUILDER 3 SOURCE PATH. Thanks!

That makes a lot of sense, and it is probably the cause of the problems people have been reporting. I've clarified the section where I talk about the source path to specify that it <em>should not</em> be added, and I've written an extra paragraph at the bottom explaining why. Thanks, Robert.

On it I have installed (Adobe): Flex SDK 2 & 3 Flex Builder 3 Flash CS3 Flash 8 And it did not work. So as a hunch, I tried a Windows Vista machine. Installed Flex Builder 3, copied the project over and Bam! The same broken project in Windows XP works in Windows Vista. Now the Vista machine only has Flash 8 installed. But I am thinking that it might have to do with the open source Flex SDK. I have no time to test it now. I am essentially developing one project on two different machines right now. I hope this helps someone. I was tearing my hair out for two Days! Two Days! Thanks Josh for the post. Well, here is an update:

I think I've only tried it in Flex Builder 3, so that's definitely not an issue. I wish I knew what was going wrong for you guys.

I created an Actionscript Project. I created a bt.swc which contained a Flash CS3 Button Component. I created a bt.swf for the default skins. I included the source path to "[Flash CS3]/en/Configuration/Component Source/ActionScript 3.0/User Interface". I include the SWC in the library path as given in the instructions. I tried different variations and none seem to work. The only result I get sometimes is just the text I set for the label of the button I create. No skins. I tried embedding the skins from the bt.swf and setting styles with the setStyle method. I also tried exporting the skin movie clips in the first frame and recreating the SWC but that also did not work. Does this only work in Flex 2? What changed in Flex 3 that rendered this null and void? Has anyone gotten this to work on Flex Builder 3?
