[flexcoders] looking for VBox/HBox with gradient background and border

[lokesh2084]

I've seen a few examples of custom borderSkins that you can use with
HBoxes and VBoxes that use the fillColors css property to draw a
gradient background in the container. All the borderSkin examples
unfortunately do not support borders. I'm wondering if someone has a
borderSkin example which allows me to both apply a gradient background
and a border to an HBox or VBox.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Disabling the Ctrl key copy action during a drag-n-drop event.

[lokesh2084]

I have a simple list (code below) that has drag and drop enabled. I
want to allow the user to reorder items in the list. But I do NOT want
them to be able to duplicate list items by holding down the CTRL key
during the drag drop. What would be the simplest way to handle this?

mx:List dataProvider={foo}
allowDragSelection=true allowMultipleSelection=false
dragEnabled=true dragMoveEnabled=true dropEnabled=true
/mx:List

Thanks,
Lokesh

[flexcoders] Disabling mouse/keyboard interaction while BusyCursor is set

[lokesh2084]

When fetching large sets of data to populate some of our screens, the
user gets a little time to watch the busy cursor spin around.
Temptation to click buttons and other interface elements exists and
this can cause unwanted results. Just curious on how others have
handled this.

Disabled all keyboard, mouse interaction? Hid problem UI elements till
data has been fetched? Loaded everything up front and used a progress
bar? any comments are appreciated.
