4 Using Director MX 2004 behaviors
After you add a behavior to your movie, you can see more information about it by clicking the
expander arrows in the Behavior inspector. (To view the Behavior inspector, click the Behaviors
tab in the Code panel, or select Window > Behavior Inspector.) Clicking the top arrow displays a
list of events in the behavior; clicking the bottom arrow displays a more detailed description
about how to use the behavior. You can resize the different sections of the Behavior inspector by
clicking and dragging the horizontal lines next to the expander arrows.
In some cases, the script associated with a behavior contains notes that explain how to use the
behavior. To view the script, select the behavior in the Behavior window and then select
Window > Script.
For more detailed instructions on attaching behaviors and using the Behavior inspector, see
Director Help.
New components in Director MX 2004
Director MX 2004 now includes prebuilt Macromedia Flash MX 2004 components to help you
reduce your scripting time. While not technically behaviors, components are listed in the
Behavior library. You can drop components, such as calendars and user interface elements, into
movies to cut the time that it takes to develop interactive features.
The following components are included in Director MX 2004:
Button component creates a button that can be customized to include an icon.
CheckBox component lets you insert a graphic component that can represent an on or off state.
DateChooser component lets you insert a graphic calendar of a month. The calendar shows the
current date and allows the user to navigate to any new day, month, or year.
