Component types

You install the Flash components when you install Flash CS5.

ActionScript 3.0 components include the following user interface (UI) components:
Button List TextArea
CheckBox NumericStepper TextInput
ColorPicker RadioButton TileList
ComboBox ProgressBar UILoader
DataGrid ScrollPane UIScrollBar
Label Slider

In addition to the user interface components, the Flash ActionScript 3.0 components include the following components and supporting classes:

  • FLVPlayback component (fl.video.FLVPlayback), which is a SWC-based component.

    The FLVPlayback component lets you readily include a video player in your Flash application to play progressive streaming video over HTTP, from an Adobe® Flash® Video Streaming Service (FVSS), or from Adobe's Macromedia® Flash® Media Server (FMS). For more information, see Using the FLVPlayback Component.

  • The FLVPlayback Custom UI components, which are FLA-based and work with both the ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0 versions of the FLVPlayback component. For more information, see Using the FLVPlayback Component.

  • The FLVPlayback Captioning component, which provides closed captioning for FLVPlayback. See Using the FLVPlayback Captioning Component.

    For a complete list of the ActionScript 3.0 components and their supporting classes, see the ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe Flash Platform.
