Links between objects

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has done any work with linking objecthandle
objects? For example, I'm putting together a flex interface to map
out a process, using degrafa objects with objecthandles. What I'd
like is a simple way to drag a link between two of them and have it
create a link object on the stage - has anyone done anything like
this, or can point me to any work that's already been started before I
reinvent the wheel?

If it's not clear, I'm trying to recreate the same experience you
might find in diagramming something using Visio or OmniGraffle.

cheers,
Toby

Hi Toby,

Not to my knowledge, but i wish :).
In the same way we were talking about Object handles 'Helpers' for
aligning shapes them on a map i would create some new LinkShapes
having some magnet effect when positioning.
Each LinkShape would register some shapes it is connected to (ShapeA
anchor3) and update its own size and position whenever ShapeA changes.

Hum thats just a quick 15s thought.
