How to make a small flash swf with ComboBox in Actionscript 3?
- by Sint
I have a pure Actionscript 3 project, using flash.* libraries, compiles down to about 6k (using mxmlc). Program handles about 1k shapes, a few sprites, a sockets connection, works great (tastes less filling).
Now, how would I add a ComboBox control without incurring excessive bloat?
More specificially, I would like to keep the size under 100k.
So far I have tried:
Adobe mx.controls ComboBoxexample - simple mxml example compiles to 200+k both on my main Linux Box using mxmlc and in Windows using Flash Builder 4
Yahoo Astra - uses mx libraries underneath(so as bloated as Adobe?), plus does not contain exact ComboBox
Keith Peter's MinimalComps - seems small, but far from providing ComboBox functionality
SPAS (Swing Package for Actionscript) - compiles to 130k, but alpha version of ComboBox does not let me adjust height...
asuilib - compiles to 40k, unfortunately this ComboBox does not provide for scrolling items...if it does not fit on screen no way to scroll to it
Now my questions:
Is there a way to lower size for projects importing mx.controls ?
Maybe there is a way to fix SPAS or asuilib ComboBoxes?
Perhaps, there are some other libraries which provide a ComboBox(or DropList)?
