A while ago I posted an example of SemiCarouselLayout. Since then I’ve replaced the class with CarouselLayout, as it will now work as a full carousel (set numUnselectedElements to 0) whilst retaining the functionality to show a particular number of items to provide virtualization. I’ve also added new properties such as the angle of the carousel, easing, duration, rotation of elements etc.

Following on from my post last week on RadioButtonBar, I also wanted to create s:CheckBox instances in the same way.
As you well know groups of check boxes work in a different way to radio buttons, in that multiple check boxes can be selected at the same time. This meant that a standard s:ButtonBar could be used as its only allows a single item to be selected (like a s:RadioButtonGroup).

For a long time using Flex 3 I was always happy using mx:RadioButton along with mx:RadioButtonGroup. Some time back it dawned on me that I generally lay these buttons out in some formal layout, either horizontally, vertically or tiled, and that it would be easier to drive them via data, the selected data item being passed to a service at some point.
With this conclusion I thought I could just create a st:RadioButtonItemRenderer by extending s:RadioButton and implementing s:IItemRenderer to use it in a s:ButtonBar, which would have all the qualities of a s:RadioButtonGroup. This is all that is really required to create a group of buttons that each act and look like a set radio buttons where only 1 can be selected, but for ease of use I also added a st:RadioButtonBar and st:RadioButtonBarSkin.
