/9/ flash ui components

• Flash 5's "smart clips" have been developed further and are now known as "components".
• Flash MX shipped with 7 common user interface components:
  • CheckBox
  • ComboBox
  • ListBox
  • PushButton
  • RadioButton
  • ScrollBar
  • ScrollPane
• Macromedia has also released a second set of components and plans on creating more as needed.
• The Flash developer community is also creating good, free components. For example, see:
  
  • http://www.flashcomponents.net/
  • http://www.flashcomponent.com/
• The components can be created and controlled via ActionScript or manually in the authoring tool.
• My address book tutorial shows how to make an application entirely with components and text fields.
