Ok, earlier this week we had a big discussion about the new course MACR
is offering. The course focuses on aspects of Flash that are relevant to
coder type folks. Ben Forta mentioned how he used Flash to easily create
a simple multi-select item where he could select an item on the left
side and have it prepopulate items on the right side.
To give you an idea of how cool this new course is (and again, I SWEAR I
don't work for MACR marketing ;) I spent just a few hours working on a
similar type component. However, this component is completely controlled
by CFML. So, to manipulate the Flash control, you can use the following
code:
<cf_multi leftHeader="States" rightHeader="Cities" name="selectedCity">
<cf_multi_group name="Alaska">
<cf_multi_item name="Anchorage">
<cf_multi_item name="Really Cold City">
</cf_multi_group>
<cf_multi_group name="Louisiana">
<cf_multi_item name="Baton Rouge">
<cf_multi_item name="Lafayette">
<cf_multi_item name="New Orleans">
</cf_multi_group>
<cf_multi_group name="Virginia">
<cf_multi_item name="Norfolk">
<cf_multi_item name="Richmond">
<cf_multi_item name="Virginia Beach">
</cf_multi_group>
</cf_multi>
The Flash code behind this was extremely simple - and definitely within
reach of someone who takes the class. I've placed the zip of the files
at www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/downloads/multi.zip. A demo can be
found here: www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/demos/multi_test.cfm
FYI - I'm not sharing this to say that I'm some kind of Flash god -
trust me - my Flash code is probably pretty sucky. My point was simply
to show easy this stuff is - especially now that I've used some course
materials that didn't fill up my brain with the silly tweening/art type
crap. If anyone actually finds this tag useful - please enjoy. :>
