Hi all, firstly sincere apologies if this has already been answered here, I’ve done a few searches to no avail. I’m using the Flash CS3/AS 3.0 components to add scrollbars and comboboxes to an application. The client wants the buttons on them to be bigger. Whilst I understand how to change colours on component skins, I’m having massive problems resizing them. I’m trying to edit the skins by double-clicking into them, but no matter how I resize the skin elements, or the individual symbols that make them up, the components still render constrained to their original size, or at best I just get a horrifically mis-aligned mish mash which resizes stuff I’ve already resized. I know you need to keep the registration points at the top left but this doesn’t help. So, to summarise, does anyone know a straightforward way to get the buttons and other elements for these components to appear bigger? I don’t mind if it’s design-based or code-based. Thanks very much ---

Ah-ha! I’ve found one way, which is to put the component inside a movieclip and then resive the movieclip… But, still, if anyone knows any ways which don’t involve going through and changing the display hierarchy for everything, they would be much appreciated.
