Usage:
The knob movieclip
slider_knob_vertical_mc is set to class org.asapframework.ui.slider.Slider. The bar movieclip slider_bar_vertical_mc is set to org.asapframework.ui.buttons.EventButton.//import flash.geom.*; // Still support Flash 7: import org.asapframework.util.types.*; import org.asapframework.ui.slider.*; import org.asapframework.ui.buttons.EventButtonEvent; import org.asapframework.util.RectangleUtils; import org.asapframework.events.EventDelegate; // slider bar mSliderBar = timeline.slider_bar_vertical_mc; // react on clicks in the bar mSliderBar.addEventListener(EventButtonEvent.ON_RELEASE, EventDelegate.create(this, handleBarClick)); // slider mSlider = timeline.slider_knob_vertical_mc; // at 0 percent, the knob is placed at the top mSlider.setDirection(Slider.DESCENDING); // set the knob bounds to the slider bar bounds var bounds:Rectangle = RectangleUtils.boundsOfMovieClip(mSliderBar); // lock to the center of the bar RectangleUtils.flattenWidth(bounds); mSlider.setBounds(bounds); // update only on slide end mSlider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.ON_SLIDE_DONE, EventDelegate.create(this, handleSliderSlideDone));
