Mike 12.6.2010

  • Created a ResizableTitleWindow.  A TitleWindow is Flex 4’s version of a panel.  Not implementing the panel drag for the time being since i believe is should be implemented in the Layout.
  • Created a FlowLayout for TitleWindow which allows for drag-and-drop repositioning and also has a maximize effect.
  • Added animation effects to the FlowLayout for moving and resizing.
  • The above was all done in a test application so I’m now moving that stuff from a standalone flex app in to the SWFManager app taking in to consideration saving / loading.

    • made some changes to Edge Utils to allow explicit height set
    • Vertical Layout animations go too fast, some get cancelled on timing conflict?
    • more resize components….
    • Windows and Mac Firefox show some discrepancy on panel sizing….
