Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?
No, you're not missing anything obvious, it's just
hard to keep track of past email discussions on this topic, sorry.
You have a choice; either go dig in the Button
class to see how they are rotating the arrow, wait for me to do it this evening,
or go take 2 minutes to create the arrows yourself, and use bitmap
skins.
I'd vote for the later: Quick, no dependencies, and
it'll get you a solution that works sooner than later. You're not using
the framework, but it's a frikin' arrow, whoop-dee-doo, know what I'm
sayin'?
Just go into your image editing program (Fireworks
/ Photoshop):
- create arrow, both left and right
- save as PNG with transparency
- embed as the upSkin for NextButton next arrow,
and left arrow for the PrevButton
If you set those in the CSS, you'll be able to
do:
view:PrevButton /
view:NextButton /
And they'll automatically use the skin. This
reduces the amount of code you'll need to write and makes it easy to modify the
arrow application wide later. The DateChooser's arrow shouldn't be that
hard to duplicate.

No, you're not missing anything obvious, it's just
hard to keep track of past email discussions on this topic, sorry.
You have a choice; either go dig in the Button
class to see how they are rotating the arrow, wait for me to do it this evening,
or go take 2 minutes to create the arrows yourself, and use bitmap
skins.I gotcha! appreciate the offer, but I'm a glutton for punishment too. :) Not being a Flasher, this could be a good exercise in AS3 as well as Flex framework. Its kind of surprising the Flex team didn't create a ButtonArrow class that could be reused on other components. I guess the datechooser is the only control using it though, eh?
I'd vote for the later: Quick, no dependencies, and
it'll get you a solution that works sooner than later. You're not using
the framework, but it's a frikin' arrow, whoop-dee-doo, know what I'm
sayin'?
Just go into your image editing program (Fireworks
/ Photoshop):
- create arrow, both left and right
- save as PNG with transparency
- embed as the upSkin for NextButton next arrow,
and left arrow for the PrevButton
If you set those in the CSS, you'll be able to
do:
view:PrevButton /
view:NextButton /
And they'll automatically use the skin. This
reduces the amount of code you'll need to write and makes it easy to modify the
arrow application wide later. The DateChooser's arrow shouldn't be that
hard to duplicate.righto, I've been reading up on skinning on adobe's site. Yeah, in this case it is a simple button. Larger picture, what if the theme is changed on the application? Will this method incur changes to the custom skin or would it automagically use the new theme?
thanks again...off and running..well not literally, its too bloody hot in atlanta!DK

gotcha! Now the question, I want to create a
custom component called NextButton that acts the same as the one in the
DateChooser and inherits the skin the same as the one in the DateChoser thus
seemlessly interacting with the Flex framework. Adobe has let loose the
source code for DateChooser. Does Adobe envision some of us copying some
of their code in order to fulfill such a community benefiting component?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?
Books? I don't much care for books... they're
full of truths.
I went digging into the defaults.css and ripped out
what I saw in there for DateChooser. It's located here for
me:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Plug-in\Flex
SDK 2\frameworks
The reason I put it in the CSS is that you can use
multiple NextDateButtons, and they are only 1 line, not the 14 below.
However, if you are only using it once in your app, it's not worth extending
Button putting it as a CSS selector like I did.
If you need more info and are brave, look at the
class here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Plug-in\Flex
SDK 2\frameworks\source\mx\controls
I'm sure it may reveal how it's handling some of
the skins.

Be nice to use any graphics in the SDK in custom components to maintain the 'Flexiness', eh? What I'm trying to do is create a next/previous month browser. We have reports that users run on a month end basis, the datechoser is really not the right tool for this. I'm just using mxml to do this currently...suppose I will have to go off and lear the way of the force for building components soon.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?
here's a tutorial on skinning components where you can download all the default graphics in a flash, photoshop or fireworks setup. however the graphics should be available as a swf file somewhere where flex installs.
