Haxe Graphical User Interface for the flash9 platform, is a set of classes working as widgets like flash/flex's components and windows.
Currently the library contains the following widgets: Button
... [More]
, Label, Input, Checkbox, Radiobox, Combobox, Slider, Scrollbar, Scrollpane, List, Tree, Popup-Menu, Window, ColoPicker
Widgets are tweened and scripted, can be hard-coded or loaded from xml.
You can see some samples on the blog at http://haxegui.blogspot.com/
A little usage sample:
// WindowaManager is a singleton, can just as well call:
// var window = new Window(flash.Lib.current, "Window", 120, 10);
//
var window = WindowManager.getInstance().addWindow (flash.Lib.current);
window.init({name:"Window", x:120, y:10});
//
var menubar = new Menubar (window, "Menubar", 10, 20);
menubar.init();
//
var toolbar = new Toolbar (window, "Toolbar", 10, 44);
toolbar.init();will add a top-level window with a menubar and toolbar.
Future Plans:Package for use with haxelib, better documentation and lingual support. Add more widgets: Tree, Datagrid, Tab navigation, Graph plotters, more containers. Layout managing, box-model. Validation, serialization of data and external interface communication. Extract rendering code to xml, to be exact, each widget should contain a reference to its rendering code (hscript), making it possible to use plugged-in rendering engines ( like vector / bitmap / scale9grid etc. ) GuiBuilder ofcourse. (For a more complete, mature library, you'll might want to checkout Aswing.)
Demos \ SVN Compilation and running :About:The demos show the widget palette, a color picker, map-like drag control and xml loading & scripting.
Dependencies:swfmill: The almighty http://swfmill.org/ needed for packaging assets and just for being cool and open-sourced. Assets have already been compiled in the demos.
Haxe:
Our Beloved compiler for generating everything else.
haxelib: Some libs are needed for compiling: hscript, feffect (10x to http://filt3r.free.fr/index.php/ on both!)
Compiling:On Linux, just type make in working directory. On Win32, take a look at the makefile until a proper batch script will be written
This will call swfmill for linking assets and haxe for compiling, mainly App.hx which contains code for the Widget Playground and for loading the config.xml file, rest of the stuff is hscript, which "interpreters some code dynamically" see http://code.google.com/p/hscript/ for more.
Update: As of SVN > ~r120, StyleManager was introduced, styles could be runtime-loaded, but the default style is compiled into the binary with haxe's resource-compiling. To generate the style, build the stylecompiler under the Tools directory, copy to somewhere in your path (~/bin/ on linux), and run it in assets/styles/ like this: stylecompiler default, to generate default_style.xml
