Hi, > really? geez. do you have any numbers for this? As I did several of the fixes I know how much faster the mx datagrid was on successive versions but I don’t have any hard number between the two. Depends on what you doing, how many rows and columns etc etc for small grids it’s probably no

We mostly use spark components. The skinning for us is actually a positive thing, but we also mix in two CSS files for the apps as well. The first CSS controls the sizing/shaping/rounding/fonts/global settings. The second CSS controls the colors/padding/custom styles. Keeping them separa

I suspect that Spark being ugly was a part of Adobe's business strategy to push Flash Catalyst. Just a hunch though. On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 1:45 AM, Alain Ekambi wrote: > Exactly what I think. > Spark compiments are simply ugly. And by the time you skin them you end up > having something simil

Exactly what I think. Spark compiments are simply ugly. And by the time you skin them you end up having something similar to MX anyway. Never been a fan of the spark components. On 14 August 2015 at 09:08, Peter Ginneberge wrote: > > I'm afraid I disagree. Unless you have proof - other than you

I'm afraid I disagree. Unless you have proof - other than you just saying it - I really doubt spark improves response time. Here's my take on it.. The default spark theme is fugly, so you'll have to come up with your own skins if you want your app to look somewhat decent. Spark in general

For the most part Spark has all the things you will need. However, some things were never finished in Spark, not many though. For those you either need to use MX libraries or find a 3rd party library. -Sean Thayne On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 7:32 AM, Trevor Holman wrote: > As I’m studying through F

As I’m studying through Flex and using it can I get some opinions on whether it is necessary to continue using the MX libraries. Is it feasible to just use the Spark library or do most still use MX quite a bit? Trevor
