Creating flash cs3 component

Question

Hi,
There is great and easy way to create flash based component
in flash cs3 using action script 3.0.
I am going to make a simple My button component which will
behave likely same as flash native button component.
You can modify this according your requirement this is just
you give an idea about how we can go for creating a component in
flash cs3.
Follow these steps…
1. Create a fla file and save this file with any name
2. Create a movieClip and draw a rectangle shape on first
frame.
3. Right click on movieclip in library, select linkage
4. Provide class name in text field area [MyButton] (you can
use any name here which should matched with your class)
5. Click Ok button
6. Write class [MyButton]
(you can copy and use this)

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.motion.Color;
public class MyButton extends Sprite{
private var _tf:TextField;
private var _Label:String="My Button";
private var _bgColor:uint=0xCCCCCC;
private var _rollOverColor:uint=0xFFCCCC;
private var _borderColor:uint=0x000000;
private var _borderThickness:int=1;
private var _width:Number = 100;
private var _height:Number =100;
private var _background:Sprite;
public function MyButton() {
init();
createChildren();
initEventListeners();
draw();
//-------------property section [Start]
[Inspectable]
public function set Label(lbl:String){
_Label=lbl;
draw();
public function get Label(){
return _Label
[Inspectable]
public function set bgColor(color:uint):void{
_bgColor=color;
draw();
[Inspectable]
public function set borderColor(color:uint):void{
_borderColor=color;
draw();
[Inspectable]
public function set borderThickness(thickness:int):void{
_borderThickness=thickness;
[Inspectable]
public function set rollOverColor(color:uint):void{
_rollOverColor=color;
//-------------property section [End]
private function init():void {
trace('welcome');
_width = width;
_height = height;
scaleX = 1;
scaleY = 1;
removeChildAt(0);
private function initEventListeners():void{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, eventHandler);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, eventHandler);
private function eventHandler(event:Event):void{
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER){
toggleColor(_rollOverColor);
if(event.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT){
toggleColor(_bgColor)
private function createChildren():void {
_background = new Sprite();
_tf = new TextField();
_tf.autoSize = "center";
_tf.selectable=false;
addChild(_background);
addChild(_tf);
protected function draw():void {
toggleColor(_bgColor);
_tf.text = _Label;
_tf.x = Math.floor((_width - _tf.width)/2);
_tf.y = Math.floor((_height - _tf.height)/2);
//width = _tf.width;
private function toggleColor(color:uint):void{
_background.graphics.clear();
_background.graphics.beginFill(color, 1);
_background.graphics.lineStyle(_borderThickness,
_borderColor, 1);
_background.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, _width, _height,
10, 10);
_background.graphics.endFill();
public function setSize(w:Number, h:Number):void {
_width = w;
_height = h;
draw();
7. Now right click again on your movieclip in library and
select component definition.
8. In class name text field provide same class name
[MyButton]
9. Click on ok button
10. Right click again on movieClip in library and select
Export SWC file.
11. Same your exported SWC file in (For window only)
[c:\Documents and Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Commands\
12. Now just open another new flash file open component
panel/window reload component you will your component in component
panel with MyButton name.
13. Drag your custom component on stage provide inputs form
property window and text it.
Enjoy!

Works just fine.
Made new movie, on frame 2 places Full screen action, on
frame 5 placed video component
and stop(); action attached to frame. Projector pops large
following by video playing
just fine.
I tried variety, first frame, many frames, all on one. Not
able to reproduce your problem.
Works on first go.
