I designed a user interface with my own components. Then I use a shared library called “skin1.swf” to import the graphics into my components.

That’s fine, except that I need the user to be able to select a skin from a list. The problem that arises now is that my library item has a fixed LinkageURL, making it impossible to programmatically select from which SWF file to extract the actual graphic.

If anyone has done a similar project or knows something else about shared libraries, please help.
