Creating a vertical Slider control in Flash using ActionScript 3.0

The following example shows how you can create a horizontal or vertical Slider control in Flash using ActionScript 3.0 by setting the Slider control’s direction property to one of the static constants in the fl.controls.SliderDirection class (SliderDirection.HORIZONTAL or SliderDirection.VERTICAL).

// ActionScript 3.0

import fl.controls.ComboBox;

import fl.controls.Slider;

import fl.controls.SliderDirection;

import fl.data.DataProvider;

var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();

dp.addItem({label:SliderDirection.HORIZONTAL});

dp.addItem({label:SliderDirection.VERTICAL});

var comboBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();

comboBox.dataProvider = dp;

comboBox.selectedIndex = 1;

comboBox.move(20, 20);

comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, comboBox_change);

addChild(comboBox);

var slider:Slider = new Slider();

slider.direction = SliderDirection.VERTICAL;

slider.move(20, 50);

addChild(slider);

function comboBox_change(evt:Event):void {

    slider.direction = comboBox.selectedItem.label;

}
