##A standalone Gauge component for Adobe Flex 4.

Skinnable, somewhat stylable and quite flexible. Though lots of stuff is still

hardcoded. There are probably bugs too. I know it doesn't really work for negative

max values, yet.

See a demo here: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3259215/gauge-demo/gaugetestflash.html](http://dl.dox.com/u/3259215/gauge-demo/gaugetestflash.html)

View source is enable in the demo so you can see how the component is used.

###Quick howto use this in your Flex 4 project:

Clone (or, preferably, fork-then-clone) this project and then import it into Flash Builder.

It should get imported as a Flex Library project. Then you have at least two options:

1. Add the gauge library project to the Build Path of the project you need the gauge in.

2. Build the library project and copy the resulting swc-file out of the bin/ folder and put it in the libs/ folder of your gauge-needing project.

Option 1 is to prefer I'd say, because then you can much easier follow what's going on in the debugger, fix bugs in the gauge and such.

Option 2 assumes you have a standard setup project with a library folder called libs/ setup in your projects Build Path.

###Keep your fork in sync

If you fork this repository and still want to keep your fork in sync with any bug fixes/changes in this repo that I either make

myself or pull in from pull requests from others; This is the easiest way I have found:

1. Add this repository as a remote upstream to the clone of your fork: 


 `git remote add upstream https://[email protected]/PEZ/FlexGauge.git`

2. Then fetch from upstream:


 `git fetch upstream`

3. Whenever you want to merge in any changes in the main repo:


 `git merge upstream/master`

That last step is assuming you want to merge the master branch of course, but that's the only branch there is yet anyway. =)

###Origins

The gauge is based on [this work](http://www.smithfox.com/?e=48) by Smith & Fox.

Which in turn was based on the now famous Degrafa Gauge by Thomas Gonzales.
