So I am pretty sure everyone saw this example where you are able to twist around the image and distort it around as you want. All I am doing here is splitting up the image into smaller triangles to be able to control the image more precisely and using the Formula that was provided on FlashAndMath. This example uses new Flash Player 10 Methods and the latest Flex 4 SDK, so If you want to play around with it then you need flash player 10. I have provided some sample pictures of what you can do with it. Next Up Example: using this method and formulas to create a Cover Flow Component that uses the native Flash Player 10 API, This will be around a 3-4 Part series.

This example is almost a replica of the one in Degrafa which you can find here Degrafa , First one is a Basic Skin, Second one Changes color on Button down and when you roll over it it Does a color fade, 3rd Button does a pulse effect, and also changes it’s colors. Next Example : 3D Transformations in Flex by using the DrawTriangle Method and Vectors etc.. Need Flash Player 10, uses the Flex 4 SDK. Also don’t forget to Vote on the Poll on the side or give me your opinion

Here is a simple example, of how you can use the new Flex 4(Gumbo) API to skin components and have them do Transitions. The Rectangular Component on is a basic UIComponent and when you hover it rotates and the color changes, the Button on the right side expand when you hover over it too and returns to its normal state when the mouse is off of it. I have more complex examples lined up and will post them as the days go by. The next example will be on Skinning buttons and using Tweener, AnimateColor , excludeFrom property and other things. Need Flash Player 10 to view it
