hi all, I believe that parallel to the cairngorm initiative there should be "someone" organizing a component library (org.flexcoders.* ?). I have seen a lot of good ideas and code on this list... enhanced components, utility classes, etc. We should take advantage of timing... The all time utopia of a centralized community effort is much more feasible at this early stage.
I wonder if there is anyone already walking this road and I have missed it. If not, maybe "someone" should create a blog to capture feedback, propose components, recieve contributions, dictate guidelines, delegate development.. etc. Perhaps a sourceforge project... I would really like to hear ideas on this matter. a little wishlist... Components: portlet-like panels.. resize, edit, move, etc... ( like coenraet's ) resizable title windows click and hold context menus Classes: - Decorators ( mix-ins ) for basic classes - - Array: shuffle(), random(), contains( val ), unique(), insertAt( index ), etc... - - String: replace( search, replacement [, flags...] ) , - - Math: randomRange( min, max ) - - UIComponent ( doubleClick event ) etc.... Validators: - localized currency, localized SSNs or similar, etc... Animation, tweens - penner? any contributions more than welcome cheers, -- ::::: Aldo Bucchi ::::: mobile (56) 8 429 8300
