DockableToolbar question

[keyone.it]

Ok, this is a little mixed, I'll divide it into a few questions:

1: the DockableToolbar component does not work good within another component (effects don't work, there are display artifacts when re-docking floating toolbars, and floating toolbars remain visible when hiding the component that contains the whole thing), is there any solution to any of those problems?

2: I am currently developing my first Flex application (porting from hand-coded Flash), and are using the following structure:

Panel
---ToggleTabBar
---ViewStack
------Custom Canvas
------Custom Canvas
---------Docker (and all DockableToolbars)

Should I switch to states?

Thanks!

Should I switch to states?

2.0.1 supports modules. Might be another choice. I'd be curious to this in action. Example running anywhere?


I'd also be curious to know the effect used (I'm assuming one from the effects package). I use effects on a lot of things with dynamic content. If I used a dissolve effect for instance on a component with dynamic content (especially text) ... I get artifacts. If I use a fade effect instead , I do not. Since every effect has an "effectStart" and "effectEnd" property I could get around that by setting it's visibilty to true on start and false on effectEnd and shortening the duration property to trick the eye but I usually simply choose to use another effect that gives better results.

This sounds all so dirty.... I'm just used to clean and simple hand-made all-round code in Flash.



Unfortunatelly I can't show you the work in progress. The artifact is about the header of the floating toolbar titlewindow remaining "printed" on the docker bar when you drag the floating toolbar back on the dock.
