Transitions added to Photoshow example

7 comments Posted by: Laura

I added some transitions and a progress bar to our Photoshow example.

For the transitions, I wanted the previous image to fade out and the new image to fade in. But in the original code, the image was binding to the currently selected image, so whenever the selected image changed (by clicking on next or previous buttons), the source of the image would change. The biggest problem with this is that if I changed the currently selected image as soon as the user would click the buttons, the image would change without waiting for the fade out to complete. One of the main changes made to the code is that before I can change the source of the image, I need to wait until the previous image has completely faded out. I do this by using the effectEnd event of the Fade effect to know when this happens, and only then make the change in the image source.

OC Flex User Group off to a great start!

The Orange County Flex User Group just had its first meeting, and it was standing room only!  We had a dozen RSVPs but over double that number actually showed up!  Space was tight, but everyone was excited at our kickoff meeting, which went over 2 hours.  Laura gave an introductory presentation on Flex, which was a springboard for a lot of lively discussion and debate throughout the night.  What made the discussions interesting was hearing different perspectives from our diverse audience, which included people from Flex, Flash, ColdFusion, Java, .NET and other technologies.
