Easing Scrollbar Version 2 [swishmax component]

Dec 8 2009

Hello to all swishmax users and swishmax components users.
This is the second release of the famouse eScrollbar swishmax component:
eScrollBar (Easing ScrollBar).

About:

The new version includes:

  • Supports dynamic text scrolling (with a new API method)
  • New apperance to the default scrollbar
  • New parameter to allow initiating the scrollbar on start
  • Additional new API methods for developers
  • Code optimization

Public Api for eScrollBar Component:

eScrollBar swishmax component adds 3 new public functions you can use from anywhere in your swishmax project:

  • reload()
    You can use this function to reload the component so that all parameteres will be calculated.
    example:
    * Assuming the component’s name is (movie clip) : “eScrollBar”:
    eScrollBar.reload();
  • start()
    This function will start loading the scrollbar (to make it work…).
  • setText(your-text, type-of-text)
    * your-text: should be any string
    * type-of-text: if you want to use html content, then you should pass “html”, otherwise pass an empty string such as “”.

    This function will use the default textHolder text object to assign dynamic text properly so it can be scrolled. the reload function MUST be called after assigning dynamic text so the scrollbar will work properly.

As in version 1 of eScrollbar, you can style and change all elements with any colors and size you want. Make sure to keep the names (of the movieClips, Shapes etc..) as in the source component as well as the anchor points.
If you change the handle or the track bar – change the graphic shapes and align its _x and _y properties to 0 (zero).

Swishmax Tree Component – Alpha [Swishmax component]

May 3 2009

Hi Swishmax users.
Since Swishmax2 has so many UI components – some are the great usual ui we need and some are special as the 3d carousel, shape tween and so on – I havn’t seen any treeview component yet for swishmax. So, I began developing one – mostly based on the logics of flash treeview component (took flash 8 tree component as a reference to learn the object).
The TreeView is based on an xml document. According to the definition of Flash 8 Reference – “The Tree component allows a user to view hierarchical data”. This data comes from an external xml file.

3dCarousel version 2 component for swishmax [component]

Apr 11 2009

Hi Swishmax 2 users and flash users (as well as web designers, web developers).
3dCarousel version 2 is the new version of my famous flash 3d carousel component for Swishzone’s Swishmax 2 alternate flash creation IDE.
3dCarousel V2 allows you to easily create and simulate a 3d carousel flash effect from images and items in your swishmax project.

New features in 3dCarousel version 2:

In version 1, you would have to use script in order to load different images to the carousel and attach button’s event to them.
Now – You can import images to swishmax and the component will make it all happen. As for button events – just put the script on the image/movieclip as you are familiar with ( on(release) {} ).
You can customize behaviors, colors and each item to act differently (with the version 2) – you can insert script to any object you chose to put inside the component.
There are new buttons to control the 3d carousel – left and right buttons to control the movement as well as a play button – all within the end result of a small swf file effect.
A new public API is available for actionscript as in Easing Tweens 2 Component (example for the flash carousel actionscript API using is included inside the component).

This movie requires Flash Player 8

Mar 21 2009

This is actually a music player I developed a while ago and decided to convert it to a component.
It is a Release Candidate and still needs some improvements and additions – ones that i would like to get from you.

You can change the look and appearance and use the public function “playTrack(path-to-track)” in order to play other tracks.

This player will auto play the track you enter in the parameter “Song Path”.
