I found a simple confirmWindow popup on someone's blog that I wanted to abstract parts of it for re-use (set message, labels, etc).
(aside: wonder why there isn't a confirmWindow control built in?) first guess didn't work: I obviously can't fake it and use composition with mxml to create it (below) so... * have to create this completely in AS3, yes? * my confirmWindow extends titleWindow? * button declarations become: private var_btnLeft:Button; _btnLeft = new Button; ... is this same for containers (HBox, etc)? * if I have additional helper classes, can I put them in the same package in the same .as file (like C#) or do they have to be in separate files (like Java) and imported? many thanx [incorrect version just to illustrate what I'm trying to customise] - still deciding whether to return 'yes/no'or a boolean <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; title="Confirmation" creationComplete="doInit();"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.managers.PopUpManager; private function doInit():void { PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this); } private function confirm(response:String):void { var event:Event = new Event("selected" + response); dispatchEvent(event); PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); } // by convention, use "_" prefix for private variables [Bindable] private var _message:String = ""; [Bindable] private var _leftButtonLabel:String = ""; [Bindable] private var _rightButtonLabel:String = ""; public function set message(val:String):void { _message = val; } public function set leftButtonLabel(val:String):void { _leftButtonLabel = val; } public function set rightButtonLabel(val:String):void { _rightButtonLabel = val; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:VBox horizontalAlign="center"> <mx:Text text="{message}" height="40" width="170" fontSize="12"/> </mx:VBox> <mx:ControlBar horizontalAlign="center"> <mx:HBox> <mx:Button id="btnLeft" click="confirm('Yes');" label="{_leftButtonLabel}"/> <mx:Button id="btnRight" click="confirm('No');" label="{_rightButtonLabel}"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:ControlBar> </mx:TitleWindow>
