Liquid Components".

I decided to publish the Liquid Components as an "Open Source" project under a Creative Commons license.

I hope a lot of you will download them, extend, modify, and do whatever you want with them for your personal and professional projects.

For those who did not participate to the beta program, here is a short "état des lieux" :

Architecture :

The Liquid Components extends the CS3 Components. It means that the liquid components can coexist with the CS3 components, they are totally interchangeable.

A big thank you to Grant Skinner for the the great work he has done on the CS3 components framework ! Liquid Components are made possible thanks to the well thought CS3 components framework.

Components available :

The components below are available :

  • LiquidComboBox
  • LiquidList
  • LiquidScrollPane
  • LiquidScrollBar
  • LiquidButton
  • LiquidCheckBox
  • LiquidRadioButton
  • LiquidTextInput
  • LiquidIcon

Download :

Liquid Component Install for Flash CS3 + Skins : Liquid Componenents V1.1.0

Liquid Components sources (FlashDevelop Project + Fla's + AS3 package) : Liquid Components V1.1.0 Sources

    Didier, after some long discussion, it seems that Creative Commons sadly do not recommends the license you use for software licensing.

    You could continue to use Creative Common as a wrapper for your license, but the real shared license behind must be GNU GPL. It follows your goals, no problem with that.

    You could find all the information you need here : http://creativecommons.org/license/cc-gpl
    (html code to copy here, license to apply, etc…).

    Thanks very much for the source, Didier would it be possible to include the source from your original live demo. It has some cool tricks I would like to learn how to implement.

    It would be cool for someone, I would even be willing to set up and host SVN for this product on my server. Your thoughts Didier Brun!

    This is great stuff! Good work! It’s really nice to have components supporting 9-scale with bitmaps.

    One question though… how do I get to the Liquid Components Inspector window? Can’t find it anywhere?

    Cheers!

    Ok, great set, but I thought the purpose was to create a light weight set of componesnts?
    A quick compile of just the combox shows that it is 51kB, vs 36kB for Adobe’s default comboBox.
    Am I missing something?

    Help!

    J’utilise les liquids components, et j’ai des problèmes de skin ( une ligne traverse le composant et ce de façon aléatoire a chaque compilation). J’aimerais poser ma question dans le forum dédié mais impossible d’ ouvrir un compte: J’ attend la validation…
    j’espere que je pose ma question au bon endroit…

    For those still checking here, was anybody able to download the sources (liquid_components_v110_src.zip) before the liquidcomponents.com domain name expired – and if so, would you be willing to share the wealth? I love the component set (downloaded from another site, but it seems I need to edit the originals to bring some compatibility for textFormat and embed fonts and haven’t been successful without being able to see the sources. Contact info on my blog linked above.

    Thanks for these Didier – the easy bitmap skinning is awesome!

    I’ve extended your lib a bit, so far added:

    * IconLabel component
    * TextArea component
    * DataGrid component (currently developing)

    If any one is intenrested in those, let me know, i’ll send u the source files as soon as i finish.

    They are really great BUT there’s one big but – the Leak memory like hell. So be careful.
    Ex:

    import com.liquid.controls.LiquidButton;

    this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, countFrames);
    function countFrames(event:Event):void
    {
    trace(“Memory leak:”, System.totalMemory, “bytes”)
    var myButton:LiquidButton = new LiquidButton();

    Hello,

    It seems to be a little bug when using embedFont.

    I’m using this classic code for embeded font :

    var font:Font = new VerdanaEmbedded() as Font;
    var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    tf.font = font.fontName;

    type_cb.textField.setStyle(“embedFonts”, true);
    type_cb.textField.setStyle(“textFormat”, tf);
    type_cb.textField.setStyle(“embedFonts”, true);
    type_cb.textField.setStyle(“textFormat”, tf);
    type_cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle(“embedFonts”, true);
    type_cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle(“textFormat”, tf);

    This work nice with classic cs3 component but with liquid component the font disappear on rollover.

    Thanks for your work.

    I have just downloaded the components am using Flash CS4 and have run into a problem immediately.

    I have placed a textfield and a button on the root, and also a textfield and a button in a movieclip on the root.

    The components directly on hte root look fine, the ones in the movieclip on the root have hairlines running through them.

    I am not sure if this is just in CS4, if there is a simple fix or whatever. I want to know if anyone else has seen this problem.
