Blur Effect in Flex 1.5

Those of you who have used Flash 8 or Flex 2 Alpha have seen the cool new effects that are possible. However, since Flex 1.5 was built for flash player 7 they are not natively available. I have created a number or wrapper swfs that allow the new flash 8 functions to be used in the current version of Flex. I have posted the Blur sample here for download and also will have ColorTransform, DropShadow, and Glow available within the IFBIN Flex By Example.

UPDATE: The source code for ColorTransform, DropShadow, and Glow is now available at IFBIN Flex By Example.

HDividedPrefBox and VDividedPrefBox

HDividedPrefBox and VDividedPrefBox are classes that extend HDividedBox and VDividedBox and add the functionality of storage of the users interaction with the divided boxes. Upon reload the preferences will be retrieved and the users custom layout will be restored. This sample’s source code and custom classes will be available within the IFBIN Flex By Example.

This source code is now aviable within Flex By Example.

The Tiger has landed

All of us Mac OSX users know what an elegant interface Apple has created and now thanks to Kai Hannonen we can have this same look and feel in our Flex applications. I applied Kai’s new theme to a couple of my old samples and here are the results.
