AS3 Liquid Components ScrollPane with CS4
Posted: March 16, 2010 at 6:18 pmI had some difficulty migrating my scrolling/content display system to CS4. I've been a big fan of Didier Brun's Liquid Components. He was kind enough to release these as open source and they work great. Simple, easy to use, and a lot less kludgy then the Adobe components. Not to mention, I can't stand that stylized thumb bar with the asymmetrical curves! I know this is old code and has been around for a while, but I couldn't find anything on the net regarding the issues I was having.
Many of us have used the CS3 practice of dumping our components and textfields on the stage during loading of the site. This lets us instantiate any code that is associated with said components, or initializes an embedded font family. The Liquid Components WILL work in CS4 and I remember using them on something way back when so WTF? You can still dump your components on the stage for instantiation, just make sure you set your "export classes in frame" to the same frame your assets are on. Because of the way CS4 creates classes for each object on the stage, it's important to keep everything matched up so the code base can compile properly.
Long live Liquid Components!
