05.15.2009 / Image Repeater
Some things that should be super-easy and straightforward in Flex just aren’t. Repeating an image is one of those. It’s not super-difficult, but I can see how a newcomer could be easily turned off because it isn’t just a simple style like in CSS.
Every time I google for a simple component to give me image repeating functionality, I always turn up components that are overkill for my needs or have weird quirks. I realize I’m just throwing another hat into the ring here, but I decided to cook up a simple image repeater component that just has one goal in mind: repeat an image. It’s not a container or anything like that. It just repeats an image. That’s it. See it in action here and right-click for the source.
I wonder how this is different from the one that Ellis created that we’ve already used in a couple of projects. I believe it’s in the PianoMarvel project if you want to look at it.
