User Interfaces
One of the most important and complicated aspects of Flash development is to provide interaction with
the user. Interaction can happen in a lot of ways, clicking buttons, inputting texts, making selections, and
so on. Several user interface libraries exist to provide standardized sets of configurable controls. The
most notable in the Flash world is surely the Adobe Flex library (for more information go to www.adobe
.com/products/flex/ ). Other well - known and quite stable libraries are AsWing ( www.aswing.org/ )
and ActionStep ( http://actionstep.org/ ). Although all of them can be used in conjunction with
haXe, there is not a direct way to do that; the libraries must be managed as external resources and there
is always extra work to integrate the systems. In the meantime, some new products are appearing in the
haXe world and are available at http://lib.haxe.org/ . They are still very young and for this reason
not as stable and feature rich as the previous ones.
How to Implement an UI
There are literally infinite ways to deal with the user interface problem; every graphic operating system
has its own way (or many at once) and every one adopts potentially very different paradigms.
