hey there,

I’m developing a flash based application which will alow my clients to _skin_ the application in any way they please (think winamp style skins)

I know there are a few ways of doing this, but I wanted to put it past you lads before I get my hands really dirty and realise i’ve taken the wrong direction… 😃

I was thinking shared libraries, that way, their server can specify to flash what skin to load (merely a path to a swf file or such) which contains all the library peices to form the applications interface… is that how you could consider writing the application? are there any _newer_ ways of writing a themable application that would be considered more “cutting edge”?

Looking forward to your response
