Creating the title screen
All of the
BasicScreen
instances will be set up in a similar manner. All are defined in the
GameFrameWork.as
file and instantiated in the
Main.as init
function. The first thing we do is set
up a separate
TextFormat
object (
screenTextFormat
) to be shared among all of the screens. We
could actually use a different
TextFormat
for each screen if we like, but for simplicity, we are using
one in this example game. We also create a
TextFormat
for
SimpleBlitButton
instances that can
be added to each
BasicScreen
instance.
screenTextFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", "16", "0xffffff", "false");
screenTextFormat.align = flash.text.TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
screenButtonFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", "12", "0x000000",
"false");
titleScreen = new BasicScreen(FrameWorkStates.
STATE_SYSTEM_TITLE,400,400,false,0x0000dd );
titleScreen.createOkButton("OK", new Point(170, 250), 40, 20,
screenButtonFormat, 0x000000, 0xff0000,2);
titleScreen.createDisplayText("Super Click", 100,new
Point(145,150),screenTextFormat);
The
titleScreen
object is created by passing in a constant for the
id
value of the
BasicScreen
instance. We are using the
FrameWorkStates
constants for the
BasicScreen
id values. The
titleScreen
also accepts in the
width
(
400
),
height
(
400
),
isTransparent
(
false
), and color
values for the background of the screen (
0x0000dd
).
The next task we must do when creating an instance of the
BasicScreen
class is decide if we
want any text or an OK button on the screen. Either of those is set up by calling the associated
public functions in the
BasicScreen
class. The
titleScreen.createOkButton
function all in Super
Click creates a
SimpleBlitButton
instance with
"OK"
as the text of the button,
170,250
as the
location, and
20
as the width of the button. We also pass in the
screenButtonFormat
as the
TextFormat
for the OK text, and two color values. One for
OFF
color of the button text and one for
the
OVER
color. We will use black for the
OFF
color and red for the
OVER
color. The final number we
pass in,
2
, is a buffer amount used for positioning the text on the button.
The
createDisplayText
function takes in the text to put on to the
titleScreen
, Super Click, as well
as the
width
(
100
), location for the text box (
145,150
), and the
TextFormat
(
screenTextFromat
) for
the text on the screen.
