graphical – quick and easy files from Creative Suite. nice for distribution (Scale Nine)
programmatic – not style-able with CSS, animation limited to component itself, inflexible when acting as a generic skin
stateful – not really a skinning style

programmatic skinning provides the power to create a skin that is just as flexible, if not more, than the default Flex skin (Halo)

Flash Drawing API
kind of a pain
lots of numbers/math
25%

Degrafa
really cool!
uses states that look more like regular Flex states
clean and reusable
75%

What else? Flex 4
new skin lifecycle
new idea is skin “parts” ie label is part of a button.

Three type of parts
static, deferred, dynamic (the cool one)

Gumbo skinning looks pretty sweet.
