BJC Bit Component Set Released

By sgrosvenor | December 9, 2004 | Flash

The guys over at Beam Jive have released a major component set for Flash MX 2004 containing over 30 components. Whilst the set is a commercial component set, it’s only 80 Euros, and they are fantastic to say the least

Main features are a huge reduction in file size (over 2/3 smaller than their MMV2 counterparts), easily styled and best of all easily skinnable (the most annoying feature of the MM components is their difficulty in being skinned)

Take a look at the bottom of this page for demonstrations of how easy the components are to skin!

sgrosvenor December 11, 2004 at 5:53 am: I agree with the comment with the Knob component, it isn’t very intuitive, you’d at least expect moving left and right to work to increase or decrease the values, rather than up and down.

“Whilst the set is….”
Anyhow thanks for posting this. Its been a little while since they have been active. I guess this is what has been consuming them.
JRMillion December 9, 2004 at 10:59 pm: I don’t know, maybe the skinnability makes them worthwhile… but other than that I am not that impressed. At first I was tempted to get the knob component, but judging by the demo, it doesn’t work very well…
