Quick example on how to setup the ColorPicker component for AS3, drag the ColorPicker component on the stage give it an instance name of mcColorPicker, create a movieClip size of the stage give it an instance name of mcBackground.

//
package {

	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.*;
	import fl.controls.ColorPicker;
	import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

	public class colorPicker extends MovieClip {
		public var mcColorPicker:ColorPicker;
		public var mcBackground:MovieClip;

		public function colorPicker() {
			mcColorPicker.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, doColorPicker);
		}

		private function doColorPicker(e:Event) {
			var myTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
			myTransform.color = e.target.selectedColor;
			mcBackground.transform.colorTransform = myTransform;
		}
	}
}

Another simple example of how to set up components, in this case ComboBox and RadioButtons.

//
package {
	import flash.text.*;
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.events.*;
	import fl.controls.RadioButton;
	import fl.controls.ComboBox;

	public class componentEx extends MovieClip {
		//textField
		public var txtField:TextField;
		private var numRadioButton:Number = 2;
		//comboBox
		public var mcComboBx:ComboBox;
		//radioButton
		public var mcRadioButton0:RadioButton;
		public var mcRadioButton1:RadioButton;

		public function componentEx() {
			this.initialize();
		}
		public function initialize():void {
			this.setComboBox();
			this.setRadioButton();
		}
		/*
		comboBox
		*/
		private function setComboBox():void {
			this.mcComboBx.prompt = "Select";
			this.mcComboBx.addItem( { label: "Option 1", data:1 } );
			this.mcComboBx.addItem( { label: "Option 2", data:2 } );

			this.mcComboBx.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, doComboBoxChange);
		}
		/*
		radioButton
		*/
		private function setRadioButton():void {
			var arrRBtnLabels:Array = new Array("Button1", "Button2");
			for (var i:Number = 0; i < this.numRadioButton; i++) {
				var tempRBtn = this["mcRadioButton" + i];
				tempRBtn.label = arrRBtnLabels[i];

				tempRBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doRadioBtnChange);
			}
		}
		//
		//
		//
		private function doComboBoxChange(e:Event):void {
			this.txtField.text = this.mcComboBx.selectedLabel
		}
		//
		private function doRadioBtnChange(e:MouseEvent):void {
			this.txtField.text = e.currentTarget.label
		}
	}
}

TweenMax builds on top of the TweenLite core class and its big brother, TweenFilterLite, to round out the tweening family with popular (though not essential) features like bezier tweening, pause/resume capabilities, easier sequencing, hex color tweening, and more. TweenMax uses the same easy-to-learn syntax as its siblings. In fact, since it extends them, TweenMax can do anything TweenLite and/or TweenFilterLite can do, plus more.

Really easy way to add external sounds to flash.

//
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick);

var myExternalSound:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sound.mp3");
myExternalSound.load(req);

function onPlayClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
	myExternalSound.play();
}

Simple preloader that plays the frame number based on the numPercentage value. Once everything has been loaded it removes the EventListener and the movieClip that displays the animation.

stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoading);

function onLoading(event:Event) {
	var numBytesTotal  = stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
	var numBytesLoaded = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
	var numPercentage = Math.round(numBytesLoaded*100/numBytesTotal);
	// MC for preloader animation
        mcAnimation.gotoAndPlay(numPercentage);
	//
	trace(numPercentage)
	if (numBytesLoaded >= numBytesTotal) {
		gotoAndStop(2);
        // remove EventListener and MC from stage
		removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoading);
		removeChild(mcAnimation);
	}
}

Really good simple example of how to use the slider component.

//import slider classes
import fl.controls.Slider;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;

//set text to 0
amount.text = "0";

//instantiate slider
var mcSlider:Slider = new Slider();
//position slider
mcSlider.move(50,100);
// if "true" slider updates instantly,
// if "false" updates after mouse is released
mcSlider.liveDragging = true;
//set size of slider
mcSlider.setSize(200,0);
//set maximum value
mcSlider.maximum = 200;
//set mininum value
mcSlider.minimum = 0;
//set tick position interval (optional)
mcSlider.tickInterval = 50;
// this is a EventListener that broadcasts an event changes
mcSlider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, doSliderChange);
//add slider to stage
addChild(mcSlider);

function doSliderChange(e:SliderEvent):void {
    trace("Slider value is now: " + e.target.value);
	amount.text = e.target.value;
}

The link event is dispatched when a user clicks the hypertext link:

import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.TextEvent;

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.htmlText = "<a href='event:myEvent'>Click Me.</a>";
tf.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, clickHandler);
addChild(tf);

function clickHandler(e:TextEvent):void {
trace(e.type); // link
trace(e.text); // myEvent
}

We worked with AMV-BBDO to produce an interactive site for Guinness. They created a pretty cool campaign layout for Guinness Tipping Point, definitely worth checking out. For the ultimate experience you have to play the game.

Ladies and Gents i bring to you “Holy Smokes ToolBar” for all your flash needs. Ive been messing with JSFL for the past couple of days and decided to make a simple toolbar, but i kept adding and adding to it and finally created “Holy Smokes ToolBar”.
This is a rundown of what HS does. The toolBar has 5 buttons:

1. Setup - renames the first layer in the toolbar to “Actions” and sets the Frame Rate to 30
2. Distribute Layers - distributes all the items to separate layers
3. Make Single MC - (ex. cornBread.jpg) Converts to Symbol, renames Layer, MovieClip, and sets instance name to “mcCornBread”
4. Make Multiple MC - Does the same as previous button except to multiple items
5. Organize Library - Creates folders in the Library “Audio”, “Buttons”, Graphics”, Miscellaneous”, and “Movie Clips” stores items in appropriate folders (if item exists in folder, makes a copy)

pretty cool little toolbar to make your life easier.
love to hear your feedback.
