I like it! I’m new to implementing components like this into projects. Is there an example I could check out that might show me how to do it?

Hello. Love what you did. I’m a newbie and would love to use what you’ve done, however I’m totally lost. I’ve been using FlashDevelop and FlashBuilder 3 for a month now. I’ve been reading up on components, but still don’t know how to use your code. I’d like to make a radial dial as configured in your explorer. Any examples? Thanks!

this is ver ver solid component, thanks for hard work.
P.S :
I found a mini bug when you set lightStyle to “solid”.
here is use Case :

LightGauge.as line 124-145.

var boundaryIndex:int = Math.ceil(((_value – _min)/(_max – _min)) * _divisions) – 1;
——— Values Breakdown ——-
max =75
_value =100
_min =0
_division =40
(_value – _min)/(_max – _min) = 1.3333333333..
1.3333333333… * 40 = 53.333333
Math.ceil(53.333333) = 54
54-1 = 53
since _onGradient only holds 39 elements
next line :
graphics.beginFill(_onGradient[boundaryIndex].rgb,uint(_onGradient[boundaryIndex].alpha) / 255);

throws TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Amazing component. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Is it possible to get the source code for the Demo?
I would like to see how to make tha value changes smoothly.

Thank you.

Yes, I’m thinking of creating a small addition to the explorer where it will output the appropriate MXML tag with all the properties based on the settings you have made in the Explorer. ETA some time in the next day or so.

Possible to put the source for the Explorer also online ?
