I think that in terms of current ease of development the approach you’re taking is gonna work best.  We’re investigating whether we can add better effect support into Lists in a future release (who knows if it will happen, but we’re researching).  If you do want to play with the List class though make sure to enable variableRowHeight and just see what you can get going by doing something to continually change the height of the cell renderer in the setValue method.

Subject: [flexcoders] Animating changes to a list-like component

 


Hi all,

I'm interested in creating a component similar to a List, but which
responds to dataProvider inserts/deletes by animating the appearance
and disappearance of cells and smoothly growing/shrinking their height.

I hacked something together that worked surprisingly well (at least,
it surprised me ;) by using a Repeater around a subclassed VBox that
animates the height of newly added or removed children.  However,
perhaps there's a better and cleaner way to do this using a List and
CellRenderer.  I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get a
CellRenderer to smoothly animate the row height of a single row, or on
the pros/cons of sticking with the Repeater approach.

I freely confess that I haven't yet tried toget the CellRenderer
approach to work yet, so I'm fishing to get creative ideas or to avoid
needless work, whichever you find least offensive.

Thanks...
