[UPDATE 02-08-2007 4:05 pm] Added the ability to adjust the scroll speed via scrollSpeed property. Changed scrolling buttons to work via mouse down or mouse over, customizable with the startScrollingEvent and stopScrollingEvent properties. Made the drag proxy image a copy of the bitmap of the tab so it looks like you’re dragging the actual tab. […]
[UPDATE: See Part 2 for the current component] There’s been some discussion on flexcoders about a better TabNavigator component. And a few people have done some good stuff expanding on the original TabNavigator in the Flex framework. I figured I’d play around and try to add a little to the current TabNavigator modifications that are […]
Yesterday I made some updates to FlexLib, mostly to sort out some bugs, a few of which I inadvertently created with the previous release. Here’s the list of issues addressed: Issue 71: Drop-down tab-list fails to activate when using states with constant names Issue 72: SuperTabNavigator -Close Tab- Issue 76: Make TabReorderEvent Cancelable/Hookable in SuperTabNavigator […]
As part of my non-existent New Year’s resolutions, I’ve gone through and made a series of bugfixes to FlexLib and released an updated version .2.2. You can download the distribution zip file here or checkout the project from SVN. What was fixed Here are the list of issues that I fixed. If you find out […]
UPDATE: Well shit, turns out that posting the source of the almost-open-source-but-not-quite-yet Flex SDK is a no-no for now. I assume once the Flex 3 SDK officially goes open source this will be OK, but for now I’ve been asked by Adobe to take it down. As you say master. I’ve posted the Flex 3 […]
I’ve started noticing FlexLib components out in the real world. It’s a pretty cool feeling to launch some Flex app and suddenly realize that some component you wrote is being used. Here are a couple of screenshots of a few Flex apps that I’ve seen using a few components from FlexLib. Salesbuilder demo app by […]
I’ve just updated FlexLib and added some components from new contributors and fixed some reported bugs in the existing components. The new additions include: Text Highlighter from Tom Lee, Base64 Image from Stacy Young, and Enhanced ButtonSkin from Daniel Wabyick. Darron also added a component this morning, HorizontalAxisDataSelector. And I’ve also fixed some reported issues […]
I’m pleased to announce the FlexLib project hosted on Google Code. This is an open source library of UI components for Flex 2. The goal of this project is to gather all the great components that people are releasing on blogs, Adobe Exchange, mailing lists, etc. and create a central open-source project that everyone can […]
As I was writing some stuff for the extended TabNavigator component that I’ve been working on (see some previous posts), I came across a need to use a PopUpMenuButton to list all the tabs, similar to how Firefox does this with the drop down list to the right of the tabs. This works great, except […]
Here’s my progress on coming up with a TabNavigator component with all the features I’ve heard people talking about. Drag the tabs to re-order them. An indicator appears showing you where the tabs will be dropped. You can drop tabs before or after any other tab currently in the list Closable tabs. Click the close […]
