hi Evtim, Great examples. I have watched your video on the custom layouts and have gone through all your examples as well. I have learned a lot. I have a question though. I am working on a layout where the width is liquid (100%) the ‘x’ position of elements need to be calculated based on their offset (a property in the model – so offset * i) and the ‘y’ is same for all elements. So the elements are basically laid out horizontally. I have written a custom layout for this already. Each element is rendered by the itemRenderer and all works fine. Now if one or more elements have the same ‘x’ or overlap with another element – then I need to use a different itemRenderer that shows a ‘merged’ icon and displays how many elements have merged. I am thinking of doing a hitTest in the custom layout and then setting a property on the target to tell it if any items were merged…can I pick your brains on what is the best way to do this and if you have any sample code that would be awesome ? Obviously there is no need for a scroller here as the elements should squeeze if a lot of elements are thrown at the layout….

Hi Tom, I just posted a new article http://evtimmy.com/2010/04/two-examples-of-layout-animations/ and there I animate the WheelLayout when I click on an item.

Hey Sven,

Ah, same problem there – virtualization related, need to use different element getter “getVirtualElementAt” when virtualization is enabled. There’s no real benefit of virtualization for this particular layout, but it makes it work with default List, so change is worth it.

I just pushed trunk revision 11213, try it out it should work.

Cheers,
Evtim

Hey Evtim,

i checked this one too with actual public beta build and exchanged the WheelLayout.as with the one from the trunk based on the new NavigationUnit class.
No errors so far but no bug images are displayed. ‘photoFeed’ AC is filled correct.

Any ideas? You can?

Cheers, Sven
