Just Now Trying the Haxe Version

OzMachine

Hi Josh, after supporting your Kickstarter project, I've finally got some time to play around with Feathers in OpenFL... Some months ago, I'd ported a view framework I'd made called "Layers" from as3 to openFL, and it runs very well. It had previously been used in Air to make dozens of interactive kiosks and some mobile apps and games, along with Feathers, of course.

A few terminal lines and some import statements, and a button has been made within a layer. 😂

I'm very happy to start working and exploring Feathers in OpenFL.

Thanks for giving things a try, OzMachine!

I'm sure that you'll run into missing features. If there's anything in particular that you think deserves priority, let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Nice. I've mainly used Feathers skinless, using my own button graphics and such, yet relying on its text rendering and layout engines. The list renderers are a big thing. I did notice the scrolling seems a little off (letting go of a still ScrollContainer sees it automatically scroll a little bit). I'm also not sure if I see a way to lock its scroll into a single direction if its content exceeded both bottom and sides. This isn't a bit deal, just testing around.

FYI, this issue should be fixed now in the latest commits. 😃

Yeah, there's definitely still work to do on scrolling. The current implementation is still a little hacked together from when I needed a demo for the Haxe US Summit. I cleaned up some of it recently, but I'm not quite done yet. I need to expose some of the customization options, like scroll policy. I need to add support for scroll bars. Lists don't have virtualization yet. I'm sure there's more.

I look forward to what's in store. Thanks for all you do!

Nice. Thanks!
