Tips for Using Macromedia Flash 4 ActionScript for Flash Lite 1.1 Development
Flash Lite 1.1 Interface Elements
As I mentioned in my previous article, Best Practices for Developing Flash Lite 1.1 Content, in the Macromedia Flash Lite 1.1 CDK there are eight different types of prebuilt interface elements in four different colors (blue, green, orange, and silver), which you can use and customize while developing your content (see Figure 4).
- Actions menu
- Button
- Check box
- Drop-down menu
- Numeric stepper
- Radio button
- Scroll bar
- Text field

Using these interface elements in your project is simple:
- Locate the "Interface elements" folder within the Flash Lite 1.1 CDK folder and open up the FLA file you want to use.
- Select the interface element on the Stage and copy it.
- Paste it into your FLA file.
- Modify any ActionScript for that particular element inside your FLA file.
- Test and modify if necessary.
When modifying the ActionScript for a particular interface element, be sure to check out the original FLA file to see if there are any comments on what you can modify.
