    Accordion with Icons

    March 29th, 2007

    accordioniconsimg.jpg

    I built this component to allow an icon to be added to each Accordion Header where the icon is dependent on the current state of the Accordion. There are 3 possible states that are tracked, up, down, and selected. The upIcon is displayed whenever the pane is above the selected pane. The downIcon is displayed whenever the pane is below the selected pane. The selectedIcon is displayed when pane is the selected pane. See the image below.

    Sample Syntax (Basic with default icons):

    <eflex:AccordionIcons>
    <mx:Canvas label=”Canvas”/>
    <mx:VBox label=”VBox”/>
    <mx:HBox label=”HBox”/>
    </eflex:AccordionIcons>

    Sample Syntax (Advanced with custom icons and selectedIndex):

    <eflex:AccordionIcons
    upIcon=”@Embed(source=’assets/icons/arrowUp2.gif’)”
    downIcon=”@Embed(source=’assets/icons/arrowDown2.gif’)”
    selectedIcon=”@Embed(source=’assets/icons/arrowSelected2.gif’)” height=”200″
    selectedIndex=”1″>
    <mx:Canvas label=”Canvas”/>
    <mx:VBox label=”VBox”/>
    <mx:HBox label=”HBox”/>
    </eflex:AccordionIcons>

    SnapIt Apollo - Source Included

    March 26th, 2007

    I have had requests on how to take snap shot and save it to disk. So here is a vary basic example that takes a picture of itself and saves it to disk using the file name provided. Here is the guts of the function that saves the image:

    snapit.jpg

    private function snagPic():void {
    bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width,this.height);
    bitmapData.draw(this,new Matrix());
    var bitmap : Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
    var jpg:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder();
    var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(bitmapData);
    newImage = File.appStorageDirectory.resolve("Images/" + fileName.text + ".jpg");
    fileStream = new FileStream();
    fileStream.open(newImage, FileMode.UPDATE);
    fileStream.writeBytes(ba);
    }

    Please note you will need the core lib for the image encoders if you want to compile it yourself.

    Download the application
