I've thought about building some sort of custom control that would allow for multi level exploration of a tree...something like the Genres/Artists/Albums thing, only with lists that are added as needed. I think that's how I'd like to handle radio station browsing (since it's very hierarchical). > > Is it possible to hook in 3rd party plugins in this solution or is the > user interface limited to the code you provide ? It's definitely possible, but might not be easy, depending on how complicated the hooks are. There's a way of splitting a Flex app into modules which can be loaded at run time. If there are well-defined interfaces for the main app and the modules, and you know where to find the modules (say via an XML configuration file), it probably wouldn't be that hard. It's defining the interfaces that might be tricky. (A separate tab that showed dynamic playlists probably wouldn't be hard. But adding extra columns to the track display for ratings requires a more sophisticated plugin interface). -- gsamsa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
