Trying to create a 'Drawer'
Sorry if I'm skimming too quickly - I'm no coder, so I may be missing something obvious. If I have a main interface panel, I assume I can use it to 'talk' to one or multiple TaskPaneFX panels to open/close as well as update the data/gfx on display?
Is that correct?
OR could I simulate a drawer open/close with DockAreaFX tools and plus the extra functionality?
Thanks!
Hi,

Yes, anything can be controlled with actionscript as wel as user gestures.

Yes, the DockAreaFX comes with a component subclass called the ResizeDockAreaFX. This has a toggle button that can close/open a drawer, plus you can use it's isOpen property to close and open the dock area.
And, as you have stated you get the docking functionality as well. You also get the TaskListFX included in this library.
Thanks,
Mike
