Hi,
I'm currently looking for an easily skinnable AS2.0 component framework.
I have found many options, some of them open source, some of them
commercial,
but so far I haven't found the optimal solution for us.
We don't need an alternative for the whole set of v2 components, but the
following ("homegrown" and less than ideal) components are currently used:
- CheckBox
- RadioButton
- ScrollBar
- ComboBox
- TextInput
- Button
- ToolTip
Also, some sort of Alert/Dialog/Window plus WindowManagement would be
really nice to have. :-)
I need to be able to use at least two embedded client-specific fonts for
the components (which seems to be a major pain), and it would definitely
be a plus if I could use different skins for the same component type in the
same movieclip (e.g. I have a scroller and a combo box, but the text
scroller
needs to look different from the scroller in the combo box).
I downloaded the trial of the mCom-components and, although basic skinning
seems to be quite straightforward, I gave up on the combo box because I
couldn't get to the skin of the list inside of it (the documentation didn't
help much in that regard, either).
The mCom set doesn't include any windows and window management either, so
I'd need a different solution for that anyway.
The AsWing-set seems more like a complete application framework, so I'm
not sure if it's not a lot more than we actually need.
Also, although it's supposed to provide "pluggable look & feel" I couldn't
find the documentation that pointed me in the right direction regarding
skinning... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anybody worked with any of the following component sets and can
say something about their skinning abilites and/or point me to example
applications that use these components?
- EnFlash

- SMX components

(well, there are the BBC projects... any more examples?)
- BitComponents

- UI0

- XP3

Thank you in advance,
Regina
