I am starting now with Flex 4.7. I know I am a bit late. Anyway, I just want to ask an experts opinion on what would be the best implementation for a process bar. Not a progress bar, a process bar. Basically its a component on the bottom of the app that tells the user which steps to go through to get to a final result. This is very common on payment methods. You have the item description -> billing info -> shippment info -> overview. Hope you guys understand...
First I was thinking, I am going to use a graph component. But then after a while, I though I simplify and create a VGroup components where I add buttons. Each button is a step. Anyway, hope this is not to much of a basic question. I just want to hear the opinion from a Flex 4.7 expert. Any example?
Thanks
You could use a LinkBar with a > or ยป appended to each of its labels.
The solution that worked best for me was s:TabbedViewNavigator with a custom TabBar Skin. Using a scroller. Flex 4.6 TabbedViewNavigator - TabBar with indication of more items
That lead to the question how do I indicate more items on the side. I am working on it ;)

Air 3 for mobile introduces a nice feature - StageText. I have seen a few videos showing what the end result looks like, but I cannot find how to actually implement it in code.
There is this page here, however, when trying to add the extra properties to the s:TextInput elements, I only get errors. Obviously, something is missing.
Anyone out there have any hints or working examples?
Thanks!
The new TextInput enhancements are part of the Flex 4.6 SDK which has not been released yet (as of 11/3/2011). If you want access to it right now, you need to sign up for the pre-release program.
I am trying to find the best way to improve the user experience when interacting with a context menu in a Flex application. I already know that the context menu in Flex is quite limited in terms of how it is constructed and what it can show.
What I was hoping to do was to implement something similar to what Microsoft Word does in 2010 or later, where when right clicking a little floating palette is displayed above the common popup menu. I was hoping that there was a way to 1) listen for an event that is triggered when a context menu is displayed, and 2) determine the location of the context menu so that I could display a floating palette above the context menu as in Word. So far, I have not found out how to accomplish either of these things.
I suspect that there might be some focus and stage management issues with this approach generally, but I was hoping to at least get to the point where those issues were discovered. Any ideas?
And for the record, I am familiar with the JavaScript hack to override the default context menu in a Flex app. May have to go there eventually, but hoping for a more elegant solution.
Currently, native context menu in Flash doesn't allow to place any custom graphics above it. And the second problem is it blocks user interaction with Flash movie during appearance. So I think you haven't any chances to deal with it.
I'm new to Qt. This is simply great.
I was wondering whether you guys knew if there happened to exist some kind of navigation controller function like you can find on Iphone...
What I mean is I want to have one MainWindow and slide between different views.
What should I look for please ?
Any doc about that ?
Any help would be very much apreciated.
Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a noob... ;-)

Me again,
by searching the site, I've come across with this...
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Code_Example_for_SlidingStackedWidget_class_in_Qt
But is there a means of sliding with a mouse movement ?
This look more difficult to me...
Thanks,
Mike
Miky, in my understanding you're trying to write a mobile phone app using Qt (probably for a Nokia phone). I'd recommend you to have a look at Qt Quick which is designed to help people develop mobile applications including touch screen input. You can find what you want there. Check out ListView and Flickable elements. With list view you can create much more than just a list view how we have seen it. You basically can flip whole pages horizontally and vertically which would be ListView items. If you develop for Symbian, check out Qt Quick components for Symbian where you may find necessary components.
Happy hacking !
Anyone can point me to free or commercial Ribbon component done for Adobe Flex or Aswing? I seen one at some point but for some reason cant find any now. (Please don't mention minddomo, since it has nothing to do do with my question).
Thank you.
A Ribbon implementation in Flex would be a lot different from the standard TabNavigator. You must consider groups within each tab, and dynamic buttons within each group, and group popups etc.
I know this isn't an answer, but I don't know how to reply to the previous answer. :)
I don't know of one. But, whenever anyone asks for one I ask this question:
What is the difference between a Ribbon and a TabNavigator with a button bar as the children?
I'd consider creating one for Flextras if anyone could explain what the difference was.
I'm a newbie to Adobe Flex 3.0. I need to show data within the Pie Chart Legend, alongside the colored markers. I have a few vague ideas about how to go about it. (Maybe I would have to write my custom legendMarkerRenderer.) Could anybody give any pointers? There aren't many examples on the net regarding this.
Thanks in advance!
P.R.
To show the data on the Legend you will need to extend LegendItem class. Example you can see in my blog: http://northam.blogspot.com/2009/05/flex-showing-data-in-legend-of-pie.html
Enjoy!
You can always customize the UI controls in flex as per ur requirements.
So you can extend the legend class
have a look # this also:liveDocs
Here's a really useful link for you. The Flex 3 Component explorer... It has examples of how to implement the majority, if not all, of the adobe flex components. If you want something more complex you may need to extend legend and create you own component. By the sounds of things it should give you enough to go on
