Animated DragTile component for Flex 2
Wednesday, 10 May 2006Ely Greenfield has created an Animated DragTile component for Flex that models the way that you can drag pictures around in Picasa. From the horse’s mouth:
The DragTile Component adds Picasa like Drag/Drop animated feedback to the basic Flex Tile behavior. Using this component, you can:
- drag to reorder items in the component
- drag from/to the component to move items into or out of the dataProvider to another component
- drag from/to the component (with shift key pressed) to copy items into the dataProvider
I’m very excited to see this kind of advanced interaction in Flex RIAs, playing to the strengths of the platform without any unnecessary bells and whistles. The code has been released under the MIT license, so you’re free to hack around and use it commercially.
Oh, and if you’re having trouble finding the source files to download, right click on one of the sample applications and select ‘View source’. Ely, if you’re reading, it would be great if you posted a download link to the component source on the component page itself.
