I’ve been busy over the last week, mostly doing custom component development for Xcelsius 2008.
Basic shapes and property sheets for each component(screenshots below)

Flex Builder is such a useful tool, I can even use it to create custom a components for Xcelsius 2008. I didn’t know about this until my last project “Xcelsius Custom Components Development” for my new client MyXcelsius.

For those of you who don’t know XCelsius is an information delivery tool that can be used to create compelling interactive content based on an excel spreadsheet.

Simple steps of creating components for Xcelsius 2008:
1. Add xcelsiusframework.swc to Flex project library.
2. Create a custom component.
3. Use prebuilt property sheet or create your own, I recommend creating your own.
4. Convert into Xcelsius component(add-on as .xlx file).
5. Instal Xcelsius add-on.

Special feature:
Export your Xcelsius to AIR.

I will post Xcelsius sample codes in my next posts.
