Adobe Spark Components In Progress

[Omar Gonzalez <om...@gmail.com>]

Hi Carol/Alex,

I updated the Missing Spark Components list with notes that s:Accordion and
s:AdvancedDataGrid are in awaiting review/donation. Are there others you
could shed some light on that I can update on the list? I don't mean to
detract your focus from your current work for the compiler, JIRA, etc, but
if there are any off the tops of your heads that you can remember I'll add
them to the list. I just don't know if that information is publicly
available.

Again I want to reiterate that I didn't make this list to try and apply
pressure to get the current Spark work in progress ahead of more important
things like compiler code and JIRA. I just thought it'd be good to start
talking about which ones will actually require community effort if they're
wanted or needed. I do appreciate the work you guys do.

Thanks!

I was just skimming through the wiki page for the missing spark components
and found a typo in the formatters

*spark.formatters.DateFormatter*
should be
*spark.formatters.DateTimeFormatter*

Thanks Carol, I'll update the Wiki page with this info.

Thanks!

There is no s:AdvancedDataGrid.  New features were being added to
s:DataGrid.

Completed or just about completed spark components and features but need
more testing:

Accordian
skinnable ToolTip
ViewStack

DataGrid locked rows and columns
DataGrid multi-column sorting
DataGrid keyboard accessible column headers

We have a spark DateChooser which is about 85+% done.  Because of the
internationalization requirements we had it is quite complex but it is
highly customizable.  I am not sure this is what we want anymore or we may
want another one as well.

Other things on our list that were either not started or just got to the
prototype stage so we have nothing to give were:

DateField
DateTimeValidator
DateTimeFormatter
ProgressIndicator
StatusIndicator
Alert
Charts
Color Picker
Menu/MenuBar
SplitContainer
TabNavigator
Tree

DataGrid Drag and Drop
DataGrid Column Reordering with Drag and Drop
DataGrid Custom Indicators
DataGrid Column Backgrounds
DataGrid Column & Row Spanning
DataGrid Support on Mobile Platforms
DataGrid Grouped Column Headers


I think there is a list somewhere of more stuff that we considered but
knew we didn't have time for in the next release.  I'll try to dig that up
at some point.

As noted somewhere else, the spark text components were integrated with
TLF3.  I'm sure there are bug fixes in the flex.next branch as well that
we'll have to find and move to apache.
