Video: Resizing AIR Windows with Flex 4 Effects

Resize Adobe AIR Windows through Custom Flex 4 Effects Interpolation, the next and verbosely entitled episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV.


In this show, we see how to apply what we learned about arbitrary type interpolation in a previous episode to the specific use case of resizing an AIR window. The ability to animate properties of arbitrary type is one of the key new features in the Flex 4 effects system, and it comes in handy for this use case where animating the x, y, width, and height properties of the native window aren't good enough. Instead, we need to interpolation a Rectangle object so that we can atomically set the bounds of the native window with each animation update.


Here's the video:



Instead of embedding the application like I normally do, I'm just going to provide this link to it. It's a link to an AIR application which you would need to install and run locally, because that's the way that AIR works. You may not care enough to do this, since it's just a live demonstration of what you see in the video. But it's here for completeness.


And here is the source code.


Finally, here's where you can find the CodeDependent videos on iTunes.


Enjoy.

It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...
