按钮外观没有通过addElement（）出现；

Question

I created a class in actionscritpt that extends the spark.components.Button, as I will be loading a bunch of buttons at runtime. I have a SkinnableContainer.mxml file that the spark buttons will be loaded into. When I use the addElement() method within that mxml file like so my custom skin for my button does not show.

//in the SkinnableContainer.mxml file
public function displayButton(button:Button):void
{
     addElement(button);
}

however if in that same SkinnableContainer.mxml file I drop it in via

<mybuttons:CustomButton x="73" y="4"/>

the skin shows just fine.

I thought maybe since the button was being added after I had called the loadStyleDeclarations, this might be the issue, so I called the

  styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(skin, true, true, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); 

after I added the button element and the button still does not skin.

Any ideas?

As shaunhusain said your method is looking for a spark Button not your CustomButton that I assume handles the skinning.

Regardless of this, inside your method you can apply your skin to the passed button using setStyle

public function displayButton(button:Button):void
{
  button.setStyle("skinClass", your.button.SkinClass);
  addElement(button);
}
