astra-flex's Issues

ColorSliderPicker should allow tabbing to each slider separately

Currently, the whole control gets tab focus and is not keyboard interactive.

Add displayTwoDigitHoursValue to TimeStepper

This style exists on TimeInput, but not TimeStepper. It should be passed through to TimeInput.

ColorPlane should support keyboard input

Up and down for vertical values. Left and right for horizontal values.

Add support for spark content background styles to appropriate controls.

contentBackgroundAlpha should be styled to 0 on sliders and other controls that use graphics object to draw gradients.

Remove style initialization to defaults.css

Static methods as style initializers are deprecated. Use defaults.css instead.

ColorSlider should support keyboard input

Up and down, or left and right keys to change values.

TimeInput AMText and PMText should be handled with resource manager

Currently exposed as styles. Should use the resource manager

TimeStepper Embedded Fonts

Trying to use an embedded font but not having any luck. The console displays the following error "warning: incompatible embedded font 'Magistral' specified for mx.core::UITextField (UITextField2000) . This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCff=false." Normally when an <mx: control displays this message I would just change to the spark version and everything would be OK or if a Spark control is not available adding the following "textFieldClass: ClassReference("mx.core.UIFTETextField");" to the Style.css would also solve the issue for the mx controls.

How can I get the astra-flex controls to function when embedded fonts are used?

TImestepper time not showing consistently

When adding timestepper to skinned container, the control fails to display time.
Example container can be found at http://www.josephaphoto.com/files/container.zip
and simply nesting it as such fails:

<containers:Lightbox>
    <yahoo:TimeStepper showSeconds="false" />
</containers:Lightbox>

Create new build script

Since the build script was never released by Yahoo!, a new one is needed.

Remove animations from ColorWheelPicker

Makes it seem unresponsive.

ColorPlaneAndSliderPicker should allow tabbing to plane and slider separately

Currently, tabbing to this control, highlights the whole thing.

Accessiblity Errors

Remember using this great library from Yahoo years ago. I am glad to see you port it and somewhat keep it alive. I am trying to use the drop down color picker in Flex 4.6 project and I receive an error from import com.yahoo.astra.mx.accessibility.DropDownColorPickerAccImpl;

I was going to recompile the swc and remove all the accessibility features. But, the Default.css does not play nice.

Astra Flex needs updating again to work with Flex 4.5.

Controls with TextInputs seem to have a runtime error related to the border skin.
