In this tutorial we will learn how to use the
Alert Compoent of Flash MX 2004. I mean how
we will call the Alert component and how its
procedures are written in Action Script to set
its parameters.
Open a new flash movie with your own choice
of movie size. I have used the size 200X300.
Open the Component Panel of Flash, drag the
alert Component from Component Pallette and
delete it from stage. I'm not Joking, we will
use this component from our Library. We only
need to have our Alert Component in our library
so we need to drag our Alert Compoonent from
the Component Pallete. You can check that the
Linkage name of alert component in library is
also "Alert", this we will use in
our scripting.
Now again open the Component panel and this
time drag the button Component which we will
use to call the alert box. Set the label of
this button what you want from the propertis
panel of Flash MX 2004. From the same properties
pannel give your button some Instance name,
I have give it the name "mybtn". Now
select the first frame and open the action pallete
and write this script on first frame.
stop();
// import the Alert component from the Flash MX 2004 default set
import mx.controls.Alert;
mybtn.onRelease = function() {
Alert.show("See this is the Alert Message.");
}
|
You have completed everything for a simple alert,
just go and test your movie to see your result.
You will see a simple alert box with a OK button
and the message you have given without any title
of the alert box. If you have some knowledge of
java script, you should be aware what is the alert
box title. Ok now we will generate Alert box with
title as well as multiple buttons. First insert
a dynamic text box where we will display which
button you have clicked, and a new button Component
to show advance Alert box. Give it a name (newbtn).
Now open action pallete and add this script after
previous script.
newbtn.onRelease
= function() {
Alert.show("This is new Alert Box.","This is Title", Alert.OK | Alert.YES | Alert.NO | Alert.CANCEL, this, aClickListner);
}
aClickListner = function(btnClicked) {
switch (btnClicked.detail) {
case Alert.OK:
mytxt.text = "Ok button is Pressed" ;
break;
case Alert.YES:
mytxt.text = "Yes button is Pressed" ;
break;
case Alert.NO:
mytxt.text = "You have selected No button" ;
break;
default :
mytxt.text = "Ok cancel this Action" ;
}
} |
So test your movie to see that you have finally
done the Aert Box Component of Flash MX 2004.
It is not much difficult as it seems to be.
