Flash UI Component Summary

This appendix lists and briefly describes the methods and properties supported by

the Flash User Interface (FUI) Components that are installed with Flash MX. The

FUI Components provide typical user interface elements, such as radio buttons,

checkboxes, and lists. We chose to separate this summary of methods and proper-

ties in this appendix for several reasons:

• The Language Reference is designed for full, detailed coverage of all the methods

and properties of a class. Here we only summarize the methods and properties

rather than documenting them fully. Full and proper coverage deserves more

space (perhaps hundreds of pages) than we can offer within the constraints of

this book.

• This book documents the core ActionScript language. The FUI Components are

actually extensions to Flash and ActionScript and are themselves written in

ActionScript. They are important examples of an infinite number of extensions

that cannot possibly be covered in one book. For example, see Macromedia’s

FDataGrid Component available at the Flash Exchange (http://www.

macromedia.com/exchange/flash/).

• This appendix serves as a quick reference for all the FUI Component methods

and properties; you can leave it open while you work so that you won’t have to
