RotatingListFX Book

• Creating Cutsom Layouts
• Examples

The RotatingListFX is a container that lists it's children out as minimized bar instances using the ListPaneFX's titleBar implementation. The minimize and maximize actions use resize and move transitions to transform from the old selectedIndex to the new selectedIndex.

Note :: This component does not use <mx:States>. There can be any number of children and the layout use a default tile algorithm. There is a name space property that can be changed to allow new layouts of the tile algorithm at runtime.

There is a flow to how the list is laid out;

1. A title bar or selectedIndex changes to view state of the new selected child.
2. The selectedIndex is maximized and the resize and move transitions play.
3. If the selectedIndex is click on again, this action sends the list into an all children maximized state where all children are tiled and visible.
4. If the same selectedIndex is clicked on, the selected child then maximizes again.
5. The routine repeats for any other child in the list container.

RotatingListFX main functionality;

• Allows a creative rotating layout for children that need focus.
• Allows for all children to be visible at the same time if the users needs to see them.
• Uses the same ITitleBarControl interface that other containers Teoti Graphix offers use.
• Optimized transitions for maximum smoothness during tweens.
  • This is accomplished by hiding children during the transitions.
• Just a plain fun container!
