Go near the Flex Component series (i): Along ActionScript we approached the Flex component world

Tip: Reading this series of articles requires a certain ActionScript language base, if you have not learned or forgotten the ActionScript language related knowledge points, you can through the ActionScript 3.0 step through step series of articles to understand.

Flex, like the. NET Framework, provides us with many different types of common components (or controls) for easy, rapid development of applications. You can see this in the components form of the Adobe Flex CS development environment, as shown in the following illustration:

All the components provided in the previous illustration are all visual components, and flex components are grouped into the following categories: Visual group and Non-visual components, container and non-container components, print components, and behavior and effect components (Flex-specific). The use of these components is very similar to the control of. Net.

Visual components are also known as regular components, the main application of the group interface rendering, providing data display and data entry, in the flex of the visual components are: Button, Buttonbar, CheckBox, Linkbar, LinkButton, Popupbutton, RadioButton, Radiobuttongroup, Togglebuttonbar, Datechooser, Datefield, Alert, ColorPicker, ComboBox, DataGrid, Horizontallist, Hrule, Hscrollber, Hslider, List,numericstepper, ProgressBar, spacer, Tabbar, TileList,Tree, VRule, VScrollBar, Vslides, Menu, MenuBar, Popupmenubutton, Label, Richtexteditor, Text, TextArea, TextInput.

Container components are mainly used for interface layout processing, in Flex, the main container components are: application, Canvas, Panel, Titlewindow, Form, formheading, Formitem, Box (VBox, Hbox), Dividebox (Vdividebox, Hdividebox), Tile, Grid, GridItem, Gridrow, accordion, viewstack, Tabnavigator, Applicationcontrolbar. For more components, check out the Adobe Flex Builder development environment or adobe-provided documentation for the following screenshot:

These flex presentations will continue to be introduced in subsequent articles in this series and how these components can be coordinated to develop flex applications. Here's a lot of articles on Flex components on this site
