I’m a begginer in Flex and it is exactely what i was looking for but i need some help to import this component in my project.
If you could provide a quick explanation i think it would be useful for the others flex’noobs !
Indeed i’ve find some explanations about components, but in this one contains many files, and i’m a little lost.

Utter amazement!

Just to throw it out there, but I’d think that somebody that didn’t understand what was going on would never figure this out. The problem wasn’t on a local machine, no Vista here, but on a remote user’s machine.

In the end this was either switched by the user or done by some sort of software installation that flipped these reg switches. They are set to on by default in Vista by all accounts.

I’m a “programmer”, no doubt. :<

My apologies to the fine engineers that created Vista for casting my doubtful eye their direction so quickly.

“My initial assumption, which turned out to be correct, is that maybe Vista just sucks.”

then you state

“User Error? Safety Conscious OS defaults? Switch happy application install? I don’t know.”

Wow, it amazes me that “programmers” today blame things on software yet they have no idea what they are blaming the software for. What happened to the days when the programmer actually understood what they were doing and the operating systems they were working on????

This is what Joel sent me via email for a fix to that issue. Message copied and pasted below:

This is my fix for this. I’m not very happy with how it functions with under 20 or so images, so I will be updating with a real fix at some point in the near future. I will let you know.

        /**
         * Shifts the images to keep the continuous scroll continuous
         * @private
         */
        private function swap():void {
            alignThumbnails();
            var left:Thumbnail = _navArray[0];
            var right:Thumbnail = _navArray[_navArray.length-1];

            for (var i:int = 0; i<_navarray .length; i++) {

                if (left.x<0-left.width && right != selectedItem) {
                    // moves clips from first to last
                    _navArray.push(_navArray.shift());
                    left.x = right.x+right.width;
                }

                if (right.x>totalWidth-right.width && right != selectedItem) {
                    // moves clips from last to first
                    _navArray.unshift(_navArray.pop());
                    right.x = left.x-right.width;
                }
            }
        }

Hi Joel, Paul

Do you guys have any fix for this issue? My application has very few images to show.

Thanks

I noticed this too. It didn’t come up in my tests because my image sets are generally big.

I’m working on a real solution for this, right now it’s just a hack that I have for my use. I will let you know.

I was planning on PyAMF only because Django AMF was done by a group in Japan and I thought language might be an issue if I get into trouble.
