Checkbox Component

1 comment so far

A little piece that utilized the Checkbox component, Button component, and Yahoo!’s Alert Manager component. Things like this are probably more appropriate for Flex and MXML, but for now I will stick with CS3.

package
{
	// Components Used:
	// --------------------
	// Yahoo! Alert Manager
	// Button
	// CheckBox

	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	import com.yahoo.astra.fl.managers.AlertManager;
	import fl.controls.Button;
	import fl.controls.CheckBox;

	public class Main extends Sprite
	{
		private var cb:CheckBox;
		private var cb2:CheckBox;
		private var checkBoxStatus:String = "";
		private var cbArr:Array;

		public function Main()
		{
			// CHECK BOX 1
			cb = new CheckBox();
			cb.label = "Checkbox 1";
			cb.x = 10;
			cb.y = 10;

			cb.addEventListener ( MouseEvent.CLICK, alertCheck );

			addChild ( cb );

			// CHECK BOX 2
			cb2 = new CheckBox();
			cb2.label = "Checkbox 2";
			cb2.x = 100;
			cb2.y = 10;

			cb2.addEventListener ( MouseEvent.CLICK, alertCheck );

			addChild ( cb2 );

			// NEW BUTTON
			var button:Button = new Button();
            button.width = 150;
            button.height = 30;
            button.move ( stage.stageWidth / 2 - button.width / 2, stage.stageHeight / 2 - button.height / 2 );
            button.label = "Check Checkboxes";  

            addChild(button);  

            button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alert);
		}

		//event handler to trigger the alert
       	function alert(m:MouseEvent):void
		{
			cbArr = new Array();

			if ( cb.selected ) cbArr.push ( cb.label );

			if ( cb2.selected ) cbArr.push ( cb2.label );

			if ( cbArr.length > 0 )
			{
				checkBoxStatus = "Checked Boxes: " + cbArr;
			}
			else
			{
				checkBoxStatus = "No checkbox values found.";
			}

			AlertManager.createAlert(this, checkBoxStatus, "ALL CHECKBOXES",["close alert"]);
		}

		function alertCheck (m:MouseEvent)
		{
			AlertManager.createAlert(this, m.currentTarget.label + " was checked - the value is: " + m.currentTarget.selected, "Checkbox Status",["close alert"]);
		}
	}
}
