XMLUI

Object   |   +-XMLUI public class XMLUI extends Object

The XMLUI object enables communication with SWF files that are used as custom user interfaces for the flash authoring tool's extensibility features (such as Behaviors, Commands, Effects, and Tools).

Macromedia Flash comes with several extensibility features including Behaviors, Commands (JavaScript API), Effects, and Tools. With these features, advanced users can extend or automate the authoring tool's functionality. The XML to UI engine works with each of these extensibility features to create dialog boxes that the user sees if the extension either requires or accepts parameters. Dialog boxes can be defined using XML tags or by creating a SWF file to display. The XMLUI object provides a mechanism by which an advanced user can communicate with a SWF file used in such a manner.
