Program used: Flash 8

Description:

This example is a small assignment that I did for my Flash Application Design 2 course this semester. It uses the Flash drawing API and external AS 2.0 classes to create an intelligent input text field that can resize and draw itself based on a number of different situations and states. It has a different look for when it's in a normal state, when it's disabled, when the user clicks inside of it and when the submitted text is valid or invalid. The two buttons are also created using the drawing API. They are each controlled by their own custom class that takes care of it's design and button functions. Although I have used the drawing API before, this gave me a better understanding of it's flexibility and also how to build an application that changes graphically based on user input.
