Re: [Flashcoders] using mx.controls package in an Actionscript 3.0 Project
Please post a solution if you ever figure it out. I was trying the same thing with Radio Buttons and finally gave up after a few hours. I did figure out that you need to reference the framework.swc and framework_rb.swc in the build library for Flex Builder 2 to find the classes but I'm guessing there's more to it because while my code compiled error free, I never did get to see the controls on stage. -- James Arseniy Shklyaev wrote: I m in AS 1,2 yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] using mx.controls package in an Actionscript 3.0 Project
I'm using Flex, with an ActionScript project. I added the libraries to the source path. This is not the issue, because it wouldn't have compiled if it couldn't find the classes.

done incorrectly? When I run it, I don't get any compile errors but I
also don't see any radio buttons.

If memory serves, in Flex, the application root should be used as the
parent container for UIComponent or its extensions and UIComponent or an
extension should be used as the primary display container ... or
something like that. Everything I say is true, modulo something :) I
think there is a good blog post on this somewhere; I'll look it up.
In the mean time, a quick and minimal hack (and I do mean hack),
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute width=400 height=300
creationComplete=TADemo.Main(this)
/mx:Application
package
{
import mx.controls.TextArea;
// simple TextArea Demo
public class TADemo
{
private var __textArea:TextArea;
public function TADemo(_parent:Object)
{
__textArea= new TextArea();
__textArea.width = 200;
__textArea.height = 20;
__textArea.x = 10;
__textArea.y = 10;
__textArea.text = This is a test;
_parent.addChild(__textArea);
}
public static function Main(_myRoot:Object):void
{
var instance:TADemo = new TADemo(_myRoot);
}
}
}
Here is an example using a custom CheckBox class that dynamically draws
a check box thingy and uses a TextField for the label.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute width=400 height=300 creationComplete=display()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function display():void
{
import mx.core.UIComponent;
var __cBox:CheckBox = new CheckBox(Click Me);
var __myReference:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
addChild(__myReference);
__myReference.addChild(__cBox);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
The CheckBox class extends Sprite. It contains an icon (instance of
another class that draws the check box icon) and a label. After
creating these elements, the constructor calls
addChild(__icon);
addChild(__label);
Haven't had my afternoon coffee, so I hope this helps more than confuses!
