Markings - Advanced symbols for ArcGIS API for Flex

Markings is a library of advanced symbols for the ArcGIS API for Flex. It's designed to give to the developer (You) infinite number of different styles for rendering your Graphics on the Map.

The first featured symbol is the AdvancedLineSymbol. The ArcGIS API for Flex supports a finite numbers of line styles (solid, dash, dashdot, dashdotdot, dot) through the SimpleLineSymbol. The AdvancedLineSymbol lets you define easily, using MXML or AS3, meaningful line symbologies. The symbol does the heavy duty work, projecting the Polyline, clipping it and you just have to provide "line part" which are drawn sequentially. A part can define a solid or dashed line, using Spark strokes or icons which can be placed anywhere along the line using an offset. By animating this offset the line can express a motion.
