Had some time this afternoon and wanted to start with something small to get familiar with the submission process as stated in this thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-flex-dev/201203.mbox/%3ccae0mpos+qj_qhdiks9n86m6yddjrbx5renvnoq5xs_kfcea...@mail.gmail.com%3E
The component is a toast notification with skins for web and mobile. I've tried to follow current SDK conventions as much as possible. My ultimate goal is to get some understanding of the process for submitting and less about the actual component. That said, it is my feeling that something like this could be a candidate for inclusion in the SDK. It is a first class UI component in the Android SDK and growls are common in the Apple world (I believe). The code is available at: http://code.google.com/p/flex-spark-toast/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fflex-spark-toast if you'd like to take a look and offer feedback. I wasn't sure if this should be included in the main SDK or mobile only, but I built the MXML skin anyway.
