Can you tell what it is yet?
…in the immortal words of the great Rolf Harris. Probably not at the moment, admittedly, but all will soon become clear. It’s part of a much bigger thing I’m building, but I wanted to post this as I’m quite pleased with it as an exercise in interface building. Have a play here.
There’s loads going on behind the scenes that (hopefully) isn’t immediately obvious, like proportional positioning on window resize, reordering as they’re dragged around, lots of .graphics operations – which I’ve not really messed with before, nice scaling, fades and so on as each one’s born, a nice litle colour selector (albeit with tiny sliders), pretty gradient fills, blah blah blah.
Anyway, lots of fun to make and much much more to do. Any idea what it is?

Very nice. It’s a gradient tool!
The color picker is really nice too. Did you write that yourself? If so, any chance on sharing? The default as3 color picker component is pretty weak.
Yeah the colour picker’s all mine. Well, sort of… I grabbed the square HSV thing from Photoshop and squashed it down in Photoshop. Then wrote the sliders that just fade it in and out in different ways and the picker just grabs the uint colour at that point. I’ll look into putting it on here separately. Not sure how integrated it was into the whole thing.
It’s an eeevent-calalalander, jeuh.. I’m curious in what ‘much bigger’ thing it resulted..
