Was kinda ticked that TitleWindow did not have a resizable property :-( Found this reference when I googled "ResizableTitleWindow" - but was way too heavy. I just needed a _simple_ resizable title window, where I can grab the lower right corner and drag it to resize the window. Then I remembered that flexlib has a MDI package and I was always impressed with the code quality :-) Found the most excellent code for the MDIWindow component with resizable behaviour and additional features that I did not need. Here is my yet simplified derived version. And like usual, you can down the source code from here . BTW, I leave it as an "exercise" to the reader to add a visual element to the title window to indicate that it is resizable.

MassDOT issued a visualization challenge , where it is calling on developers to use released CharlieCard data to visualize "A Day in the Life of the MBTA". The following three applications use the Flex API for ArcGIS as a response to this challenge. The first application (click here to view it) consists of two maps. The first map contains a dynamically generated heat layer that morphs based on the selected hour. The second map is an isometric projection, but the T lines are represented in a schematic layout rather than a geographical layout. A schematic layout is what you see when you step up to a metro map at the station. You, the user, can rotate the schematic map by holding down the left mouse and dragging it left or right (no zoom in, sorry). At the bottom of the application is a horizontal slider. As you drag the slider, you are changing the "current" hour and minutes of the day. On the geographic map, the heat layer will reflect the CharlieCard counts per st...
