A friend asked me a few days ago if there was a "WindowShade" type Flex component. By that she meant a panel or some sort where you can double click to hide the contents of the panel. Stephen Gilson had such a component. As he doesn't have a blog (dude, get one! ;) I'm posting his code here. It isn't quite what my friend wanted, but is pretty cool.
I will readily admit I don't quite get how the drawing works - but it is pretty cool how he embedded the icons for the panel into the code itself.
You can see this in action here:

And you can right click to see Stephan's source and download the component.
Who else thinks it is time for a CFLib for Flex 2 components?

Ray,
I second the idea of having a CFLib Flex Component library and/or a Flex 2 cookbook website.
Nice :) thanks for sharing
Well, the cookbook is launching pretty soon on adobe.com, it may fit some of your needs. And we have the Adobe Exchange for other components too. I don't know how it compares to CFLib, but we're trying to provide...
My problem with the Exchange is that there is commercial/encrypted stuff there. Not that there is anything wrong with that - I certainly don't mind folks earning money. But one of the goals of CFLib was to be a library where a user would know that if he found something, it was both a) free and b) open source.
Well blogs are not for everyone... But a very cool idea with the cookbook and flex component library.
That component is pretty cool as well.
Is example and code still available? The link is broken.
