Hi Doug,
It’s really a cool effect, especially the mouse movement detection, collision.

Can you guide me out to get the logic for mouse movement? When you drag the image in the tileui, depending upon the velocity of the mouse pointer, the image stops with good easing effect. How this can be implemented? I need to implement this Action scirpt 2.0. Maybe in future, I will migrate to AS 3.0/Flex. Please send me the link, if you have any.

Thank You.

Regards,
Kiran

[...] Someone emailed me recently asking about this code, since it was shown in a previous video I created when I was working on TileUI a while back. This is the first in a series of chunks of code that I’m thinking about taking from that project and releasing open source. No, I don’t think I’ll be releasing all of TileUI, but just some of the components within it (like the radial menu component maybe). [...]

[...] Another interesting UI concept shown by Nicholas was creating (1) showing noun/verb as a circle with the verbs like petals off the core of noun and then (2) allowing the user to drill into petals (verbs) which then created a new noun/verb layer over the existing one. What was interesting about this is that is allows users to keep a much more visual context in place of where they came from and the ability to roll back in the layers of noun-verb very quickly. Far better than todays model of breadcrumb hierarchy representations (think Vista’s file explorer model). I have also seen a similar UI concept on Doug McCune’s excellent Flex UI model called “Tile UIDesktop”. About 45 seconds into his 3 minute demo of that he starts showing how his implementation of ‘petal’ actions around a selected object on his UIdestop (the ‘noun’) works. Really gives you a sense of the smooth interaction of the noun/verb concept in a petal format could work. The true efficiency in his is around the fact that when you right click (I assume that is the event) to expose the available petals (verb) for the selected object (noun) it presents itself right where your mouse is. Classic Mac design … no extra mouse movements. Just a slitght flick of your mouse, click, and go. Very nice. [...]

Doug, that is really an amazing piece of work. Inspirational, elegant, and bonus points for being on a mac. Great work on extending the original project/concept.
