How do you add resize functionality to flex components?

Question

I'm creating a flex drag and drop interface of sorts that will have a range of different components. Is there a standard way of adding resize handlers to a component or does the component need to be overridden?

Answer 1

Do you mean front-end resizing? Senocular wrote an excellent transform class for that: http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/transformtool/

Answer 2

I found quite a useful example that is easy to implement. It gives support for changing cursors, setting bounds, rotation and fixed aspect ratio. I think its worth a look for anyone needing to add resize support.

The above link is a flex project download. Import the flex project and run the MoveAndResize.mxml example.
