Code examples for ScriptUI

The sample code distributed with the Adobe ExtendScript SDK includes code examples that specifically demonstrate different ways of building and populating a ScriptUI dialog.

Building ScriptUI dialogs Description
SnpCreateDialog.jsx Creates a very simple, modeless dialog (a palette) with OK and Cancel button behavior.
SnpCreateUIAddMethod.jsx Shows how to add controls to a dialog using the add method.
SnpCreateUIResourceSpec.jsx Shows how to define a resource string that creates the control hierarchy in a dialog.
SnpCreateTreeView.jsx Shows how to create a hierarchical list with subitems.
SnpCreateProgressBar.jsx Shows how to create, initialize, and update a progress bar.
SnpCreateSlider.jsx Shows how to create and handle input from a slider control.
UsingFlashPlayer.jsx Shows how to create a Flash® Player, and use it to load a play back a movie defined in an SWF file.
ActionScriptDemo.jsx Shows how to communicate between the Adobe application scripting environment and the ActionScriptâ„¢ scripting environment of the Flash Player.
ColorSelector.jsx Shows how to use the graphics objects to change colors in a window.
ColorPicker.jsx A more complex version of the color-selection dialog shows how to use additional graphics objects, including fonts and paths.

SnpCreateDynamicScriptUI.jsx Shows how to use automatic layout, switching component layout between "row" and "stack" orientation.
AlertBoxBuilder1.jsx Shows a way to use resource specifications. Uses the add() method to build a dialog that collects values from the user, and creates a resource string from those values. Saves the string to a file, then uses it to build a new dialog. See Using resource strings.
AlertBoxBuilder2.jsx Shows another way to use a resource specification, building the same user-input dialog itself from a resource string. See Using resource strings.
SnpCustomLayoutManager.jsx Shows how to create a customized layout manager. See Custom layout-manager example.
