How to make colors look same in illustrator and Flash Builder

Question

We had a designer build out our UI using Adobe illustrator, and then tried to replicate the same hex color and alpha codes in Flash Builder- colors are looking very different on the same machine
We have used basic web colors but the problem persists. Any pointers on why this could happen?

Answer 1

Thanks Joan... we managed to figure out the cause to a large extent- problem
arisen by the way the layers were built in Illustrator vs Flashbuilder. I
still have the following questions, that we are currently handling via a
workaround
a) when I try to skin the container using SkinnableContainer, the skin
doesn't take effect- but works, when I use same skin with a BorderContainer.
Any idea of why this is so?
The code used is as below
<s:BorderContainer id="Banner" height="15%" width="100%"
skinClass="mySkins.newskin1">
<mx:Image id ="logo" source="assets/graphics/logo.png"
x="{0.018Banner.width}" y ="{.09Banner.height}"
height="{Banner.height*0.7}" maintainAspectRatio="true"
width="{Banner.width*0.085}"/>
<s:Label x="{0.065Banner.width }" y ="{.293Banner.height}"
fontFamily="Copperplate" fontSize="34" kerning="on" color="#666666"
text="EUREKA WORLD"/>
<s:Label x="{.88Banner.width}" y ="{.293Banner.height}" fontFamily="Arial"
fontSize="14" kerning="on" color="#666666" text="Help | Log Out"/>
<s:Label x="{.865Banner.width}" y ="{.45Banner.height}" fontFamily="Arial
Bold" fontSize="18" kerning="on" color="#666666" text="Welcome Gauri"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
Skin attached
b) we are trying to replicate the design from Illustrator(exported in fxg
format) and replicate in FlashBuilder. We would like to name the objects
meaningfully so we can connect the front-end with names in the fxg code.
Currently we see an objID. How do we name objects in Illustrator?
c) When we use a mx:vbox within a repeater to display contents of an array,
we had trouble skinning this for background color- compromise we reached was
to have the background color in the mx:vbox with a skinclass for the border
and shadow
