Here you can find a couple of AdvAlert window skin examples that you can use in your games and applications.

Below are 4 skins I made that you can use in your AdvAlert powered alert windows. To implement them, use the the code below each example image.




var mySkin:AdvAlertSkin = new AdvAlertSkin();
mySkin.bgRect = new SolidColorRect(0xe2e2e2, [5, 5, 5, 5], 1);
mySkin.bgStroke = new SolidColorStroke(1, 0x000000, 0);
