Partition Gauge

Thursday, September 11, 2008   






A "partition gauge"... I haven't seen many of these around in AS2 let alone in an AS3 flavor. I am sure there is one or two out there somewhere, but was wondering if anyone knew of one readily available.

I started coding up a version with custom events made from scratch that I think has some possibilities. You can see a screenshot of it above. This kind of slider is surely for edge cases, breaking a known quantity down into adjustable chunks, but it can come in handy for things.

If there aren't many of these out there, I could release the classes for this one or just work on it more myself until it's completed with a level of polish and housing tighter code and more events.

“I was toying around with making something like this using Degrafa, but didn't take it as far as you have. I just created the view. Here's what I put together:

“juan,

That's quite nice and along the same lines of what I started to do. I haven't used Degrafa yet as I haven't been doing any Flex for some time. Maybe I should.”

“The BirdEye slider is hard as hell to move points on for some reason. I keep dragging and they stutter and stop, my mouse continues and then un-attaches. Weirdness.

So I think I could make a better slider for sure, just don't know if there is a big demand for such a thing.”

“Yeah it could be improved. Well... if you do make a better one, I'm sure at least BirdEye could use it :)”

“I haven't seen the ILOG Elixir one before. Funny, I originally had my carrets beneath but moved them up top in case I wanted to use numerals, etc. below.”
