Expose-like window navigation in Flex
Nov. 26th, 2006 | 04:55 am
What's the point in buying a Mac if you're not going to copy some of its cool features?
In my spare time, I've been working on an implementation of Expose-like window navigation in Flex 2. It's nowhere near complete, but I got so desperate to write about it that I've uploaded a quick demo here (SWF).
Demo: fTube with Flexpose (SWF)
My implementation is called Flexpose. To see it in action:
- Open a few videos by double-clicking on items in the data grid.
- Make sure some of the windows are overlapping. If not, you can just arrange them anyhow by dragging them by their title bars.
- Press F8 to enter expose mode.
- To make a window active, click on it.
