Creating a metric conversion calculator with Flex
In this article, I want to show you how to create a metric conversion calculator in Flex Builder 2. We’ll be able to use this calculator to convert from miles to kilometres, feet to metres, pounds to kilograms and back again. You’ll see how to create a simple application in Flex and I’ll show you how to use different types of layout controls. We’ll even add a validator and a small ActionScript 3.0 function to the file.
We’ll work through the following steps:
- Creating the project
- Creating the interface
- Populating the ComboBox
- Adding a validator
- Calculating the result
