New Flex Spark Products for Teoti Graphix, LLC
We have spent a lot of time creating tooling, figuring our new design strategies and most of all creating new Flex 4 Spark components and toolkits.
Our design philosophy is simple; create solid reusable component API that is intuitive and flowing. Much like a song that sticks in your head with a nice melody, our samples, extended documentation and templated publishing process creates a standard in the 3rd party Flex component developer ecosystem.
Take a look at our site and see the difference;
Products
We start off this new version of Flex 4 Spark with the Form Toolkit, FieldSet and Vertical Menu widgets. Each of these products offer a simple api, custom layouts and fully encapsulated Spark skinning implementation.
Form Toolkit
The Form Toolkit creates the familiar Form API in the Spark component framework. The toolkit includes a Form class to manage FormItems, the FormItem that includes a label, required indicator, plugable element layouts and an optional icon.
Expander Toolkit
The Expander Toolkit allows the developer to maximize
user interface space by expanding and collapsing containers with visual elements.
The ExpanderContainer allows for a single titled expandable container, that is fully
skinnable and subclasses the TitleContainer.
The ExpanderGroup is a skinless vertical group that controls multiple ExpanderContainer
elements and the ability to dock and undock from any visual container.
The ExpanderGroupContainer wraps the ExpanderContainer grabs all og it’s
functionality and adds the TitleContainer API plus by default implements the
ExpanderGroup’s docking functionality.
Plus much more..
FieldSet Widget
The FieldSet widget is a commonly used container that holds graphical elements separated in logical labeled groups.
VerticalMenu Widget
The VerticalMenu allows the developer to arrange menus in a list fashion while allowing menus to be expanded and collapsed. The menu also acts as a toggle list where only one list item in the menu may be selected at one time.
These are great! You should contribute them to Tour de Flex.

What the difference between your Form Toolkit and the default Form stuff ?

Hi,
Well there are design differences. I released this toolkit about 6 months before Adobe did.
Other than that the product page and asdocs show you other API differences.
