FlexBook

• Date: 4th July 2007
• Original Author: Ruben Swieringa
• Original Release Notes: http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog/flex-book-component-beta

For demos / implementations, look at this repo: http://github.com/blvz/FlexBook-demos-bundle

Release Notes

• Fixed the 'sticky-page' bug;
• Added the jumptoPage method. It's similar to the gotoPage method, but it won't do a lot of flips to reach some page;
• Fixed the bug that, when adding a Page dynamically, the Page didn't show fold gradients;
• Fixed the "RangeError #2006" bug, when a Book was instantiated without any children;
• Now jumptoPage is jumpToPage;
• Fixed the jumpToPage bug. The changes on the jumpToPage method make it feel more natural.

Known Issues / Bugs

• For Book instances, height values greater than the height of the content may slow down the application;
• ScrollPolicies for Page instances are disabled (the properties have been overridden and are idle in the Page class). When a Page instance is not being flipped, its fold-gradient is drawn upon a Shape instance stored within that Page its rawChildren. When scrollbars are displayed, the Shape instance will no longer be in place;
