DRK : New DataGrid Example : Editable Fields and StyleProperties

with 3 comments

Fridays are usually slow, so i decided to put together another quick example of the datagrid component available on the Macromedia MX Developer Resource Kit.
You can view the new example here.
Among other features, the example shows off editable fields, and formatting via style properties.
You can see the original example here.
Update 9/14 : I have updated the example to include an index column, and to show how to add a custom sort function.

Calendar Component Examples

with 3 comments

Some developers are having problems understanding how the Calendar component works (thread), so i put together a couple of simple examples that show how to use the component.
The first example shows how to work with a single selected date, and the second shows how to work with multiple selected dates.
You can download the files here.
If you know of any other examples online, please post them in the comments.

ANN : Macromedia MX Developer Resource Kit

without comments






 
On Friday, we announced a new product line, the Developer Resource Kit. It contains components, extensions, articles, samples applications and other resources (including a complete archive of the Designer and Developer Center).

Some of the new Flash MX content includes:

  • DataGrid component (including 46 pages of documentation, and 6 usage examples).
  • Flash UI Component Set 3 (includes : Loading Box, Prompt Box, Advanced Message Box, ToolTip and ToolTip Lite).
  • Media Player Components
  • 3 Sample Applications (that include resuable Flash / Flash Remoting APIs for sending an retrieving email as well as retrieving historical stock information).

There are also some more articles, as well as Dreamweaver MX and ColdFusion MX content.
I wrote a logged in article with some more information on the DRK, as well as some of our motivations for creating the kit. You can read it here.
You can also see some other coverage and comments on the DRK at:

Phillip Torrone has some interesting comments on selling components. Phillip has been pretty successful selling content for the Pocket PC, so it is worth a read.
Btw, we are working on getting a list of the component features as well as some datagrid examples online.
You can discuss the DRK in the DRK forum.
You can find more information on the DRK, as well as purchase it here.
