It seems that the color of the Label is changed by “baseColor” property of the Button or its parent, even “baseColor” is not changed by Button itself. Because “baseColor” is inheritable, e.g. from a Group. To exclude the label try this:

// Note:
// "labelDisplay" == id of label + your skin class
// has to extend SparkSkin
override public function get colorizeExclusions():Array
{
return ["labelDisplay"];
}

And, somehow my label changed its color. Do not know why

And you don’t need to set the text for the label in your skin using bindings or anything else, just set the id of the label to “labelDisplay”. The button as a “HostComponent” of the skin will do it

BTW: To understand what’s going behind the scenes check out the original skin class of the Spark Button spark.skins.spark.ButtonSkin or give the helpful links posted above a shot

Also, I can’t understand some things. May be, you can explain something!

For example, I want to write a simple Spark Skin for Button.
There is only one Label ( with text=”{host}” )
no color is specified and it doesn’t use style attributes from host component as in your example.

Then, I create button with my skin and set color to red.

The thing I can’t understand: why is my button becoming red? I do not set any color for Label in my skin, How does flex know about this color?

Thank you!

I was able to workaround some scenarios that I had here using your approach.

Thanks a lot =D
