Thanks to both Shaun Pearce and Liam Flynn for their presentations last month. As usual you can find the videos, presentations etc can be found in the presentations section.
This month, no presentations, we’ll be meeting for our LFPUG xmas piss-up. Come and join us for some xmas drinks and smokes in the ditch.
We’ve had some great sessions this year, and LFPUG will continue into the new year.

On a recent project I was working on, another team required a ratings bar so I thought I put something together. It works very much like a Flex 4 List, but all item renderers at an index below the selectedIndex are selected. It also enables you to drag on the bar once you have click on it to change the rating given (mainly implemented for touch devices).
As with most (vote & vote please) spark components you can change the layout, renderer, skin etc.
For ease of use there is also a numRatings property that internally creates an ArrayList with the correct length to be used as a dataProvider for the component, although if required (i.e. you want custom labels etc to be shown) you can set you own dataProvider.
The source can be downloaded only from our GitHub repository (only added to the Flex 4.5 lib at the moment). I’ll get it into the 4 lib and up on our Google Code repository soon.

Here’s a Flex 4+ IsoscelesTriangle primitive. If you require an equilateral triangle you can just set width or height (not both) and the primitive will calculate the other size.
The source can be downloaded only from our GitHub repository (only added to the Flex 4.5 lib at the moment). I’ll get it into the 4 lib and up on our Google Code repository soon.
ws.tink.graphics.utils.IsoscelesTriangleUtilws.tink.spark.primitives.IsoscelesTriangle (4.5)Here’s a Flex 4+ Annulus primitive. You can specify the width and height (width, height), the hole width and hole height (holeWidth, holeHeight) and the amount the position of the hole should be offset from the center (holeOffsetX, holeOffsetY).
The source can be downloaded only from our GitHub repository (only added to the Flex 4.5 lib at the moment). I’ll get it into the 4 lib and up on our Google Code repository soon.
ws.tink.spark.primitives.Annulus (4.5)Here’s a Flex 4+ EllipticalPolygon primitive. You can specify the width and height of the ellipse that the polygon will be drawn around (width, height) and number of sides (numSides).
The source can be downloaded only from our GitHub repository (only added to the Flex 4.5 lib at the moment). I’ll get it into the 4 lib and up on our Google Code repository soon.
ws.tink.graphics.utils.EllipticalPolygonUtilws.tink.spark.primitives.EllipticalPolygon (4.5)Here’s a Flex 4 Star primitive that is drawn based on outer and inner ellipses. You can specify the width and height of the outer ellipse (width, height), the width and height of the inner ellipse (innerWidth, innerHeight) and the number of points (numPoints).
The source can be downloaded only from our GitHub repository (only added to the Flex 4.5 lib at the moment). I’ll get it into the 4 lib and up on our Google Code repository soon.
