Creating a Flex image gallery – part 1
Welcome to part 1 of this tutorial series on creating an image gallery using Flex Builder 2. In this two part series, we'll build an image gallery application that loads external images. In part 1, we'll create the application and I'll show you how to load external photos and display a title. You'll be able to use buttons to navigate through the images in the gallery. In part 2, we'll add styling to the application and load photo details from an XML document.
In this article, I want to cover the following topics:
- Setting up the project
- Creating the application interface
- Creating the list of images to load
- Showing the first image
- Creating the navigation buttons
In the second article in the series, I'll cover
- Styling the interface
- Adding a fade in effect to the images
- Creating the XML for the image list
- Loading the XML document
- Finding information in the XML document
