Hi, I am one of the third-parties, the "Ardisia Component Library". Sorry about not responding earlier, I just read the thread.
I am thrilled to be included in the Tour De Flex, so first off thanks for including this new feature. I tried building the TourDeFlex with the nightly build from earlier in the thread but I was hit with 100 or so compiling errors with path errors and pointers to non-existent components like a Spark RichTextEditor so I must be using an incorrect build. However, earlier in this thread OmPrakash posted screenshots of the problem and I looked at the nightly binary build so I have an idea of the layout issues are. I hate to cause all this trouble . Perhaps my page in the Tour De Flex could just be a label and a link? Say something like what I have now, except go ahead and drop the imagehave a single page with a list of third party components arranged in a grid format with a short description of each and a link to the demo. This way, it could be compiled into the app with minimal effort and On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 12:00 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > > On 11/7/14, 12:34 AM, "Justin Mclean" <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > > >So how do we reach consensus on this in a timely way?
