Swatch Selector component in Flex
2007-04-01 01:11:00
Sorry, can’t share the source on this one guys, as I made this for a project I’m working on. But I thought it was a pretty clean implementation and that it could be a good inspiration for more components like this. I’ll have a lot more time to be pumping out components such ...

BindingUtils: more useful syntax
2007-03-27 20:49:00
PLAIN TEXT Actionscript: public var currentDay:Number;   public var day:TextInput;   Bindi ngUtils.bindProperty(this, "currentDay", day, {name:"text", getter:function(d:TextInput):Numb er{return Number(d.text)}}); The above code came in really useful when using the bindProperty method of BindingUtils.  I wanted to bind the text property of a TextInput named "day" to the variable currentDay which I had typed as a number. To do so i used the syntax you ...

List component breaks when adding item renderer
2007-03-19 08:20:00
It seems over and over again, any time i add an item renderer to the list component, it breaks.  Flex’s list component is a pretty advanced component, as it only shows whats needed on screen, but despite all this ‘coolness’ whenever i add a complex item renderer to a list component it BREAKS and doesn’t ...

Just take a look through this code and then look at the result. It may help some of you, it may not. I threw it together to show to a few people that are just breaking into the Flex framework, and it seemed to clear a few things up for them Main Application PLAIN TEXT Actionscript: <?xml ...

String search utility
2007-03-13 20:51:00
Here is a another utility I needed across several projects.  It allows you to pass an ArrrayCollection of objects (custom or generic) into the static method, a 'term', and the properties on the objects to search.  It then returns an ArrayCollection populated with the objects that contain the term. Here it is PLAIN TEXT Actionscript: package net.threeronec.component.stringsearchutil { import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;   public class ...

Tiling backgrounds in Flex
2007-03-03 03:51:02
Several people have been asking for tiling backgrounds in Flex , so here is my implementation of one. It's really easy and should be really self explanatory.

Flickr and Youtube API - security sandbox violation
2007-03-03 03:51:02
Both of these API's seem very cool, and extremely easy to implement, especially when using the API created by Adobe which can be found on labs.  However it doesn't appear that either Youtube OR Flickr have a cross domain policy allowing anyone to access this API on their server.  This is unfortunate, because it makes ...

I've seen many implementations of uploading for as3/Flex ...but none of them worked exactly how I wanted them to.  So this evening I made my own to use across various projects I may use.  This handles multiple file upload too, which is what a lot of the ones I had seen were missing.

Minimizable window architecture in Flex

I've heard a few people ask for it, so I began stubbing out a reusable way to minimize, and dock minimized windows. Currently it only has ways to minimize it, but if anyone is interested in my expanding this component, i can add ways to un-minimize, window shade (possibly) as well as other ...

There’s been an update to my autoComp lete text field, it was actually something I’d been considering doing.  Previously my implementation was a static class that kept track of all the text fields you wanted to autoComplete.  The new implementation done over at http://labs.flexcoders.nl simply extends Text Input, which I like a lot more.
