A simple flash GUI tool +Code: AS3 prototypes with the smallest and fastest comparison

Update: Keith himself has been working on similar ideas and releasing Minimalconfigurator .

Keith Peter's Smallest component any flash developer is a very good tool when adding a real-time configuration swf. I found myself using them in my demos and prototypes but with many edit sketch parameters it is still a hassle to write boilerplate code to set up and schedule components, as well as add appropriate event handlers.

inspired by such openframeworks GUI tools Ofxsimpleguitoo and the Ofxtweakbar ,  ControlP5 processing, I think it is time to have a project with the same quick and easy use of GUI tools Flash AS3.

introduction of Simplegui

The Simplegui AS3 Project is a class-practical program that developers need to quickly add UI control variables or functions to a sketch. The Simplegui property can control only one line of code using the smallest comparison set of various wonderful components , and the custom component is written as Filechooser .

Simplegui currently exposes the following methods, and the open AddControl method can pass any class definition:

• AddColumn : Start a new column component
• AddGroup : Start a component of a new group
• AddLabel : Add a text box label or description
• Addtoggle : Add a check box for a Boolean value
• AddButton : Add a button trigger callback
• Addslider : Create a Slider value
• AddRange : Create a slider two range of values
• Addstepper : Slider number for another component
• Addcolour : Add a color selector as an integer
• Addcombobox : Add a drop-down ListBox box to any object
• Addfilechooser : Allow user to load data
• Addsavebutton : How this trigger generated code is saved

Other features include:

• Hotkey : Show/Hide Assign hotkey GUI
• Context menus from context menu items: switching GUI
• Message : The message in the Pulse toolbar is given to the user
• Show Toggle : Toggle Hidden when GUI is displayed
• Save Settings : Generate AS3 code to submit your current value

using Simplegui

Each method accepts an optional parameter Options , which is a simple dynamic object, you can pass any parameter to the corresponding component of the value, and Callback and the Callbackparams each time the component property triggers a change in the method.

For example, to create a slider to control a number, set its width, execute a callback, and display a custom label, you would write:

_gui.addslider ("MyNumber", 0, +, {label: "My number", width:200, callback:onnumberchanged});

Although it is possible to omit this parameter by customizing the label for each component, it causes variable name resolution and uses the label. For example, a variable "MyNumber" will generate the label "My Number" .

Simplegui also supports nested attributes, any depth, using the normal point syntax. So you can control the position of a particle by writing:

_gui.addslider ("Myparticle.position.x", 0, 1000);

the code here Demo above. There are only 27 lines of code to control the entire sketch.

_gui = new Simplegui (this, "Example gui", "C"); _gui.addgroup ("General Settings"); _gui.addcolour ("Backgroundcolour"); _ Gui.addbutton ("Randomise Circle Position", {callback:positioncircle, width:160}); _gui.addsavebutton (); _ Gui.addcolumn ("Noise Options"), _gui.addslider ("noisebase.x", "Ten,") _gui.addslider ("Noisebase.y", 10, 200); _ Gui.addslider ("Noiseseed", 1, +), _gui.addslider ("Noiseoctaves", 1, 4), _gui.addslider ("turbulence.x",-10, 10); _ Gui.addslider ("Turbulence.y", -10), _gui.addgroup ("Wave Options"), _gui.addstepper ("Wavecount", 1, 20); _ Gui.addstepper ("Wavesteps", 2, Max_wave_steps), _gui.addslider ("amplitude", 0, $), _gui.addcolour ("Wavecolour"); _ Gui.addcolumn ("Circle Options"); _gui.addrange ("Mincirclesize", "maxcirclesize", "ten," {label: "Circle Size Range"}) ; _gui.addslider ("Rotationspeed", -10), _gui.addcombobox ("Circle.blendmode", [{label: "Normal", Data: Blendmode.normal},{label: "Darken", Data:blendmode.darken},{label: "Overlay", Data:blendmode.overlay},{label: " Difference ", DAta:BlendMode.DIFFERENCE},]); _gui.addfilechooser ("Circle Texture", Texturefileref, textureloaded, [New FileFilter (" Image Files "," *.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png ")]); _gui.addtoggle (" animatecircle "); _gui.addcolumn (" Instructions: "); _ Gui.addlabel ("Press ' C ' to toggle GUI"); _gui.addlabel ("Press's ' to copy setup code to clipboard"); _gui.show ();

so Simpelgui is actually a time-saving developer who wants a quick prototyping thing in Flash, or with control release demo. The actual hard work has been completed   Keith   minimum comparison
