[Proposal] Move busy indicator out of mobile swc and into spark swc

[Justin Mclean <ju...@classsoftware.com>]

Hi,

I'm seen a number of Flex desktop applications include the mobile swc just to use the busy indicator component. While Flex desktop application are generally asynchronous in nature there are occasion where it is useful to display a busy indicator.

So I like to suggest we move BusyIndicator.as out of the mobile components/project. and into the spark components/project. I believe this change can be made so that no existing code would need to be changed (as the BusyIndicator's package spark.components is still the same)

This has come up a few times on various lists and is in the Adobe bug base so I'll not add an apache JIRA entry just yet.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-29960 (closed and deferred)

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

Changes made and committed to the patches branch. No unit tests but sample app (in whiteboard) will not compile unless BusyIndicator is in the spark swf.

Thanks,
Justin

Justin:

As usual, your proposals are clearly logical and make sense.

+1

If anyone can think of a single reason why not, please speak now (and be
concise) or please consent by silence.

Synopsis:

The Busy indicator is current bundled to be with the mobile SWC.  A lot of
end users like to have consistency across bot mobile and desktop
experiences.  The busy cursor is a brilliant feedback mechanism that tells
users "something is happening" rather than "I hit a button and I am not
sure what is happening".

Work required would be minimal in my estimation (see Justin's notes below).

It makes sense, serves the populace.
