Macromedia Flash Professional 8 UNLEASHED [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

Create a new Flash document.

2.

Set its dimensions to 200x100.

3.

Drag three components onto the stage and place them as follows:

• 
  TextInput

  component
  Set its width to about 180, give it an instance name of

  myText_ti , and place it in the top half of the stage.

• 
  Button

  component
  Give it an instance name of

  myButton_butn , set its label parameter to

  Send , change its width to about 48, and place it in the bottom left of the stage.

• 
  ComboBox

  component
  Give it an instance name of myCombo_combo, place it at the bottom right of the stage, and give it two labels:

"to output"
"to alert"

Your stage should now look like Figure 27.11.

4.

Create a new layer called

actions .

5.

Open the Actions panel in the first frame of the Actions layer and place this code in:

//event listener object
var clickListen:Object = new Object();
//create the event
clickListen.click = function(){
if(myCombo.value == "to output"){
MMExecute("fl.trace('" + myText.text + "');");
}else{
MMExecute("alert('"+myText.text + "');");
}
}
//add the listener
myButton.addEventListener("click",clickListen);

The preceding code first creates an event listener object. Then it creates an event callback method for that object that checks where the string from the TextInput component is supposed to goeither to the Output panel or to an alert message. Then finally we add the event listener to the Button component.

6.

Now save the file as Send Out.fla and test the movie.

7.

Copy the .swf file created to the WindowSWF directory of the Flash 8 first-run directory and restart Flash.

8.

When Flash has been restarted, choose Window, Other Panels, Send Out. Now you have the capability to send messages to the Output panel as well as in the form of alert messages, as in Figure 27.12.
