    What do you think of the Flex 4's component and skinning architecture?

      A very useful article. I'm experienced at Flex, but learning the spark skinning methods.

      I think there is an error in the text:

      "using the new Flex 4 state syntax: the state name, followed by a dot, followed by the name of the property, and finally followed by the value the property should assume in the specified state."

      You probably mean "the property name, dot, followed by state name". At least that's what the code shows.

      Thanks.
