Ely Greenfield Shows his FlexBook Component

March 11th, 2007 by Mike Chambers

At 360Flex last week, Ely Greenfield gave a talk on creating Flex components. I video taped the entire session, except for the last 3 minutes (my tape ran out). Unfortunately, that is when Ely showed the coolest stuff. He was cool enough to talk with me after the session and demonstrated his new FlexBook component.

I will post an HD mp4 of this video, as well as his entire Flex360 session as soon as it finishes encoding.

Btw, sorry for the shakiness of the camera. I promise I will use a tripod next time.

Update : You can see a video of Ely’s entire Making Components session here.

    This video isn’t loading at the moment (both FLV and HD MP4 links are broken too).

    But it would be interesting to hear what Ely says about flex book component =)

    Sorry about that. We had some networking problems. The video should be working now, although the downloads are still down.

    OMG, It just started working! Sorry for bothering you..

    Ely, the component is really cool! So all “real flash page flipping engines” might start feeling not so comfortable starting from now =)

    On firefox 2.0.2/flash 9.0.28 debugger This page crashes a miserable death everytime. I think its related to the inline video but I am not sure since I can not get an error message. IETab with Firefox works fine though with regular flash 9.0.28

    Awesome stuff. I’ve worked with book engines in Flash before and hated how cumbersome they were, especially when working with dynamic content. This Flex component looks to solve a lot of those problems.

    wow! that’s super cool Ely. I especially like the transparencies:) I used to love those books. And doing with animation is neat. It would be cool to split up long text chunks from html pages into separate pages like columns.
