Example
The following example uses the JavaScript API to create a new command that appears in
Commands menu. Create two files, as described in this section, and place them in your
Commands folder in your user-level configuration folder. For more information, see
“Configuration folders installed with Flash” in Getting Started with Flash.
First, create a file named choosefile.jsfl and place it in your Commands folder. Place the
following code into the file and save the file:
// Create an XML to UI dialog box using the XML definition
// in the choosefile.xml file
var chooseFileDlg = fl.getDocumentDOM().xmlPanel( fl.configURI + "Commands/
choosefile.xml" );
if (chooseFileDlg.dismiss == "accept") {
var path = chooseFileDlg.choosefileControl;
fl.trace(path);
}
