Flex Multiple Select List with FloatLayout

I thought I’d share a couple small classes that I had to put together recently for a project.

The goal was to create a list of toggle buttons but that would be laid side by side and then wrap at the end of the line. This allows for a really nice multiple selection component in contrast with having just a long list of checkboxes.

Weekly Games

You might have noticed I didn’t post the last couple Weekly Updates on Sundays, I’m sorry for that but it has been a busy time and I have been also thinking of changing it to a Weekly Games post.

In the new format, which starts today, I’ll provide links to some new games and review 2 or 3 in more depth. This week we have Bubble Tanks 3, Flight and Insidia along with a few others.

I’ll try to detail a chronology, list of bids, list of views and some graphs for analysis.
