Anthony, I have not yet seen a date based, chronological timeline component built in Flex. I very much would like to. So please post back if you find one or if you create one you might consider sharing.
Following is a link to a thread from last October on this topic on Flexcoders. At the following link be sure to review each post on that thread along the bottom of each page: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/51950 One poster, Frank (fsawitzki), had posted a link to "the current status of my project" but the link is now dead. I am cc'ing Frank's email here because I don't know if he is on this list where you have posted. Maybe Frank has a complete Flex solution he can share with us? :-) Anyhow, this has been done several times in Flash. At the link above I included links to two good Flash projects. Both were done at universities so they may be open to collaboration to update them to Flex. The FLA is included in the download from: http://dmc.umn.edu/flash/timeline/ Following are a few more random links related to Flash based chronological timelines. No source, but beautiful sample (click on 'Timeline' on the bottom of the window): http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/formats/container_en.html Following is the link to the blog post that led me to this beautiful Rijksmuseum timeline. I see the author Rick Companje's email on the blog, so I am cc'ing him here. Here is the blog link: http://www.companje.nl/index.php/2005/11/15/historical-timeline-for-the-rijksmuseum-amsterdam It certainly would be amazing if functionality such as this could released as a Flex component. Downloadable FLA (Interesting in that it this was authored by the amazing Patrick Mineault of 5etdemi.com <http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/> and AMFPHP fame) http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/XML/Interact-Patrick_-9303/index.php Downloadble FLA $29.95 -- Flash Timeline & Project History Template http://www.templatekit.com/tstore/product_info.php?products_id=42 Again, please do post back if you any sources implemented in Flex or if you create one you might consider sharing. hth, g On 5/4/07, Persaud, Anthony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is there a simple timeline component for Flex? (That if they hover over specific dates, a small popup shows up with information)? I wanted to know before I start trying to build my own. Thanks, Anthony
