Flash 8 User Interface

Flash User Interface

The sample shows how to use Flash User Interface components. It contains a checkbox, a button, radiobuttons and textinput with using the event listeners model.

Sample uses SWF-template made in Flash8. Here is how to make ui8.swf template:
1. Open Macromedia Flash8
2. Make new document: File > New... > Flash Document
3. Open Components tool: Window > Components (Ctrl+F7)
4. Drag a Button, CheckBox, RadioBox, TextInput or other needed components to the document stage.
5. Set the unique instance name for each component, for example, "but", "lbl" etc. It's needed only to analize SWF-template (as Flash8 sets component settings).
6. Make SWF file: File > Export > Export movie. Set settings Version: Flash Player 8, AS version: ActionScript 2.0
