Description

This is a sweet little FAQ/Help center that can be integrated into any application. The skin is totally customizable via the included CSS stylesheet, and detailed instructions for placing topics and Q & A's are in the comments at the top of the faq.xml file in the com/assets folder. The animation as you switch between topics is abstracted into a reusable class called ObjectSlider.as. For AIR applications, I suggest changing the TextArea component that is used for the Answer box to , as it handles the parsing of html that is placed between CDATA tags within the xml file.

The main application file has nothing but a function that is called on creationComplete of the Application. This function demonstrates how to use the Flex PopUpManager to trigger the FAQ window when say - for example - the user clicks the "help" button in your application.

Feel free to contact me for any questions, comments, or for help integrating the component into your application.

What files does this come with?
Is it complete source code? A swc file?

complete source code... it can be imported directly into Flex as its own flex project if you like. I've always found it is easier to integrate components that way. I personally don't like swc's...they sometimes feel like you're working with a black box; especially if you need to modify the code to suit your needs.
