Hi Doug,

I’ve used your WindowShade extensively in my project. But recently I noticed that if I dynamically add / remove some items to it, even though its width changes to accomodate the contents, its height does not change! This has become a showstopper for me. Would really appreciate your help!

Many Thanks,
Aman

Your degrafa shade is awesome – the only problem I have is that when you click on a button within the opened shade, in my case to navigate to another State – I can’t get the shade to close.

I tried making this function –

private function levelChange1():void {
currentState=’class1State’();
shade.opened = false;
}

But I get an error whenever I click on the button to change states now. Any help would be really appreciated!

warm wishes
Stacey

I am having trouble disabling the WindowShade. i have a state change (user logs out) that i want to change the ui so certain members-only features are disabled. currently when i change the myWindowShade.enabled property to false, it disables the contents, but the header button still interacts, opens, and closes. How would I disable this header button to lock down the whole windowShade?

I’m having trouble with something I’m working on and I see your compoent has the same problem. If you embed the window shade components inside eachother to create a type of tree control, you’ll see that expanding a child WindowShade doesn’t invalidate the size of its parent. Any idea’s how I can invalidate the size of the parent?

Hi, I love this control. I cannot figure out how to make the second or third shades move down when the one above is opened…thanks for the help.

Hey Doug – I love the work you’ve done, it’s been invaluable to me so far.

Regarding the WindowShade, you mentioned above you might post some samples of how to use the WindowShade docked to the side of the screen. I’m trying to figure out how to do exactly this. Any chance you could post a sample?

Hey Doug,
totally sweet!
many thanks for sharing a very useful component!

I am seeing some strange behavior, and maybe you can point me to the issue rather easily before i go sleuthing too deep into your code…
Some content will display at first, then when i close the Shade it goes away, and when i open the shade it DOES NOT come back…

it has a canvas with an extra component inside…

any ideas?

[...] I am using the very nifty WindowShade from the life-saving (OK that’s a bit melodramatic…) FlexLib library. However, I wanted to be notified of open and close events. I heard somewhere (can’t find where now) that those events have been added into the SVN for FlexLib. I didn’t want to have to do a checkout and copy those files over and update it everytime the FlexLib SVN code updated… not fun. Fortunately there is a note in the FlexLib Wiki about creating a FlexBuildProject from the svn tree. This got interesting. I never build a SWC before and it certainly makes it a lot easier. [...]
