Flex book component (beta)

Ruben released his Flex Book component free for all, but under a Creative Commons licence.

FEATURES
These are the main features of the component:

• Pageflip effect (not kidding )
• Hardback option for every page, as well as a hardcover option for the containing book, automatically making the first and last pages hardback.
• Functionality for tearing pages out of the containing book.
• Methods allowing automatically flipping through the pages of a book ( gotopage() ).
• Customizable easing, auto-pageflip duration, and size for the hit-regions (the page-corners whereby a page can be flipped).
• Distortion (instead of skewing) when flipping hardback pages.
• A variety of events that the book class dispatches, making customization alot simpler.
• Transparency support for pages.
• Live-bitmapping functionality for playing animation uninterrupted during pageflips.
• Locking functionality to keep certain pages from being flipped.

KNOWN BUGS AND ISSUES

• For Book instances, height values greater than the height of the content may slow down the application.
• ScrollPolicies for Page instances are disabled (the properties have been overridden and are idle in the Page class). When a Page instance is not being flipped, its fold-gradient is drawn upon a Shape instance stored within that Page its rawChildren. When scrollbars are displayed, the Shape instance will no longer be in place.
