im looking to select multiple tiles via clickdrag.
while at the same time generating a selection box over the tiles.

has anyone successfully achieved this?

if so..any direction would be greatly appreciated.

A selection box should not be a problem at all: remember the coords
when MouseDown and then scale the box on MouseMove.
Actually making the selection I'd guess would require some basic form
of collision detection with bounding boxes.

Rough guesses, maybe there's a more efficient way?

There may not be a native Flex component that could do it, but you could
do it with Actionscript 3, therefore you could do it in Flex.

2008-07-23 Thread artur

would it be possible to Extend the Tile Component?
instead of making a new one from scratch?

Here's how I'd do it...

Add a child to the container that's holding the TileList component.  
On click (mouse event), start drawing a rectangle (mouse move event).


Intersect the boundary of this rectangle with the children of the  
TileList (interesting exercise) and select them if they intersect.  
Finally clear out the rect on release.


interesting challenge.
