This post is the 100th blog post on my blog. Its been a fun ride so I figured I wrote a bit on the history of this blog as well as link to my favorite posts here. Part of the team at Flash Forward, Austin, 2006. The Fan 3.0 won the People’s Choice Award (which is voted for by people on the www and not a panel of judges). A lot has changed since then: The team has changed, Fan 4 is a 100% Flex app and I have longer hair . My first post here was on July 19, 2006. That said, this was my second attempt at blogging, the first attempt was something on blogger, where I posted my opinions on Flash, but I got bored of that real quick as I hardly got any traffic. I started Code Zen with the basic assumption that I will get no traffic at all. I basically wanted a place to keep all the code I worked on and get back to it months later. This was around the time Flex 2 was coming out of beta, and I needed a place to host FlexAmp, my entry to the Flex developer contest (FlexAmp was featured on labs.adobe.com for quite a while and is still featured on the community sample apps section on Adobe.com).Of course once in a while the entries here would be purely opinion, like defending Flex when someone took cheap shots at it, but for the most part, I used this blog to document Flex techniques and gotchas or full blown components (list at the end of this). Some of the examples have even inspired greater work within the community. For example, SuperTabNavigator, one of the most used components on FlexLib, the open source Flex library that seems to be the one with the most traction right now was developed by Doug McCune on top example code on this blog (He of course packaged it into a complete component from the proof of concept I had here).

The other functionality I'm questing for would be to measure the text on the label and resize the individual tab accordingly, so it's not fixed according to the tabWidth property where not specified. I've had to put tinkering with this on hold because of other Jobs flying around at the moment, but I will be getting back to it...

I'll take a look at what you release, and after I release my code you can take a look. Since it seems like a few people have been working on the same issue and it's been requested by multiple people, we can try to pull it all together into one implementation. Ciarán: is there functionality that you were looking for that's not included? Also, it's not a Move effect, but rather it's using the Canvas.horizontalScrollPosition to scroll the tabs :) Jason, my thoughts exactly.

Give or take a bit, this is kinda the behaviour I'm attempting (a bit of a mish-mash of sorts). Nice touch with the Move effect =) Thanks, Doug.
