Question

I’m working on a project with Actionscript 3.0 in Flash Pro (CS5). I want to create a confirmation box. If I were using the Flex SDK I could do this using the Alert class in the mx.controls package. However, it seems that no similar control exists in the standard Flash library and any amount of Googling just leads me to Flex references.

Try this Class

package com.whatever {

//Imports
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

//Class
public class AlertBox extends Sprite {

    //Vars
    protected var box:Shape;
    protected var yesBtn:Sprite;

    //Constructor
    public function AlertBox($:Rectangle):void {

        //Initialise
        box = new Shape()
        yesBtn = new Sprite()
        addChild(box)
        addChild(yesBtn)

        //Render
        with (box.graphics) {
            lineStyle(1)
            beginFill(0, 0.4)
            drawRect($.x, $.y, $.width, $.height)
            endFill()
        }

        with (yesBtn.graphics) {
            lineStyle(1, 0x00FF00)
            beginFill(0x00FF00, 0.4)
            drawRect($.x+$.width-100, $.y$.height-40, 80, 20)
            endFill()
        }

        //Events
        yesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yesClickHandler, false, 0, true) 
        yesBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, yesOverHandler, false, 0, true) 

    }

    //Handlers
    protected function yesClickHandler($):void {}
    protected function yesOverHandler($):void {}
