FP9 component pseudo-comparison

Actionscript

I thought I'd compile a little comparison of my Razor components (80% done!) vs the flex framework and the Flash CS3 components. I included just the components shown, but this is slightly unfair to Flex since it includes way more features in the framework that aren't actually used here. Flash player 9 required for all of these movies except the first.

First: Razor AS2, 25k

Second: Razor AS3, 26k

Third: Flex, 209k

Fourth: Flash CS3, 44k

    Sweet. Odd little quirk on the scroll bar at the very top though..it moves further than the distance dragged

    Really nice overall, but feel they scroll window sample especially is slightly too rounded - I'm sure this can be customised. Also if I'm being pedantic, there's a lighter/whiter square behind the scroll down button the top example.
