[flexcoders] VSlider direction?

2009-03-30 Thread gwangdesign
I am trying to make a VSlider but in a reversed direction than the default 
one, i.e., making it up side down, i.e., with the maximum value on the bottom 
and the minimum value on the top.

What would be the easiest/fastest way?

One of the innovative ways (but unsuccessful) I tried was setting the maximum 
value to the minimum property and the minimum value to the maximum property.

Thanks.

Does slider.rotation = 180 do what you want?

You've already had a suggestion to rotate the control; most users would 
expect the control to operate in the usual way, so what's the exception in 
this case?

I think that is a valid modification, say your control is increasing
attenuation.

 

If it was me, I would just look at the slider control code and decide
whether to subclass or copy and modify it.  I bet the logic is pretty
simple.

Re: [flexcoders] VSlider direction?

2009-03-30 Thread Paul Andrews
I take your point, but even for attenuation I would expect to slide upwards to 
increase the attenuation level. If I dampen a sound, the more I dampen it the 
quieter it gets. My slider would be controlling the dampening rather than the 
sound volume. Maybe I've got the example wrong.
