Razor Component Framework Preview

Actionscript

Flash player 8 is required to see the movie below.

This is a small preview of a subset of components from my ‘Razor’ component framework.
I know you’re probably wondering why the world would need another set of components for Flash. But I think they are a tiny bit special in the fact that you don’t need the Flash IDE, the mx framework, or even a library of symbols to compile. The example shown below was compiled with mtasc only.

They are targeted for the kind of developer that tends to design forms using actionscript rather than the IDE, and they are designed to save time when creating your UI. They are also designed to be as configurable as possible if you choose to delve into the code, but as simple as possible if you don’t.

I’m still busy completing the set and squashing those annoying niggly bugs, but I hope to have them available soon.
The bad news is that the license probably won’t be free although I’m still figuring that part out :)

The top three buttons change the style to a different preset (defined in actionscript).

    Hi Ash,

    The set looks pretty good. I notice a problem with combobox. If you display de combo list and then use the pane de scrollbar the cb list desn’t hide as I expected.

    Hope the set finaly comes open source ;)

    Best,

    C.

    Ash, looking really nice man. I spotted one thing with the Winter skin, the textinput field hides half of the text. I cant wait to see all your components, I want to compare them to mine…if I ever get mine done. Ttys.
