In this
section you will attempt to build a whole UI library using pure haXe code. The library is built upon the
following requirements:
Platform Independence and Isolation: The haXe nature to be a multi - target environment must be
respected. This implies also isolating the mouse and keyboard events from the target system.
Lightweight: The library must have a reduced footprint in terms of bytes; it must be loaded and
displayed fast.
Basic Set of Controls: Buttons, text inputs, and labels are the very bare minimum required to
build interaction.
Easy Positioning: Some UI API delegate to the developer the responsibility to manage and dispose
the controls. Although it is important to have the freedom to create accurate pixel - perfect
positioning, in the majority of cases it is more important to be able to dispose of the controls easily
and let the system handle the arrangement issues. A set of containers is implemented to ease
the visual layout process.
