The perfect roll over slide out menu in Flex

Submitted by jrowny on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 14:11

Getting a roll over to work properly in Flex is no fun.

The Scenario

Mouse rolls over a tab, then the tab "slides out" revealing a tool bar or something.

The Tutorial

There are a few things you need to do to get this working right, let's walk through the steps.

  1. There's a few ways to do this, but I'm shooting for easiest. Let's say you have a top-oriented menu (top-right) that needs to slide down from 25 pixels to 80 pixels tall. Start by making our canvas.

      PureMVC has two ways to dispatch a Notification. A "note" for short, is like a Flex Event but that's another story. So what's the difference? The main difference is that sendNotifiaction builds the note and sends it at the same time. It's arguments are the same as Notification.
