This I use for skinning my buttons

mx.controls.Button.prototype.falseUpSkin = “BlueButtonUpSkin”;

How can I get this to work on the buttons inside the alert component. ??

Ive tied this:  
mx.controls.Button.prototype.Alert.buttonUp = “BlueButtonUpSkin”;

eg this [http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main\_7\_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash\_MX\_2004&file=00002076.html](http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00002076.html)

Have a nice day 🙂
