NOTE: This class has now been replaced, please refer to CarouselLayout.

So it’s about time I punted out some layouts that I have hanging around, most of which are all based upon NavigatorLayoutBase.

NavigatorLayoutBase can be considered a base layout class for use with our navigators (NavigatorGroup, Navigator, DataNavigatorGroup, DataNavigator, BorderDataNavigator), but can also be used with the standard Flex 4 containers/controls. I published an example of StackLayout some time ago which lays a container out as a ViewStack (i.e. a single child at a time), which is the default layout class for our navigators.

SemiCarouselLayout has a couple of classes in between NavigatorLayoutBase.

SemiCarouselLayout lays the children out as if they in the front half of a carousel. Means its not a complete carousel it means the number of items can be infinite without affecting the number of visible items. There’s a few options for the layout which are easiest to describe with an example, so I’ve implement the layout with a couple of components below… (drag and drop is still to be implemented)

This component was in part inspired by some work Steven Shongrunden had done and a task that we had on a job.

We didn’t want to have to change our data objects to hold a hard coded value to check whether the item should be selectable or not as in Steve’s version so I came up with this.

There’s 3 ways you can specify to exclude an item from being is selectable.

The example below shows each of these being used, but you could also use a combination of the 3 methods above to exclude items.
