Mobile SMS Using ActionScript 3.0

Submitted by rinvizle on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 - 11:20.

In this tutorial we will create a Mobile SMS Application in ActionScript 3.0. This application is very useful for the android developers, the application create a message from the field and generate a group of contacts using drop-down from the database. This Mobile SMS application relies to the users mobile data to access or to send a message in every contacts. And it is compose of smsane file extension to send a message from the contacts.

Sample Code

The UI Form Function.

package views
{
	import commons.Manager;
	import commons.ScreenManager;
 
	import events.ClassEvent;
 
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
	import flash.text.engine.FontWeight;
 
	import flashx.textLayout.formats.VerticalAlign;
 
	import models.vo.CClass;
 
	import mx.collections.ArrayList;
 
	import org.osmf.layout.HorizontalAlign;
 
	import spark.components.Button;
	import spark.components.DropDownList;
	import spark.components.HGroup;
	import spark.components.Label;
	import spark.components.TextArea;
	import spark.components.VGroup;
	import spark.components.View;
	import spark.events.DropDownEvent;
	import spark.events.TextOperationEvent;
 
	public class SMSView extends View
	{
		protected var mainContent:VGroup;
		protected const SCALE:Number = ScreenManager.scale;
		private const LABEL_FONT_SIZE:Number = 32 * SCALE;
 
		private var titleLabel:Label;
		private var mainMenuButton:Button;
		private var actionButton:Button;
		private var textarea:TextArea;
		private var btnSend:Button;
		private var classesDropwDown:DropDownList;
 
		private var _classes:Array;
 
		public function SMSView()
		{
			super();
 
			titleLabel = new Label();
			titleLabel.percentWidth = 100;
			titleLabel.setStyle("fontSize", 32 * SCALE);
			titleLabel.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);
			titleLabel.setStyle("textAlign", TextFormatAlign.CENTER);
			titleLabel.setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");
			titleLabel.setStyle("fontWeight", FontWeight.BOLD);
			titleLabel.text = "SMS";
 
			var myHGrp:HGroup = new HGroup();
			myHGrp.verticalAlign = VerticalAlign.MIDDLE;
			myHGrp.horizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.RIGHT;
			myHGrp.percentWidth = 100;
			myHGrp.height = headerHeight;
			myHGrp.maxHeight = headerHeight;
			myHGrp.gap = 20 * SCALE;
			myHGrp.addElement(titleLabel);
 
			titleContent = new Array();
			titleContent.push(myHGrp);
 
			actionButton = new Button();
			actionButton.width = headerHeight;
			actionButton.height = headerHeight;
			actionButton.visible = false;
 
			actionContent = new Array();
			actionContent.push(actionButton);
 
			mainContent = new VGroup();
			mainContent.paddingTop = 20 * SCALE;
			mainContent.paddingRight = 20 * SCALE;
			mainContent.paddingLeft = 20 * SCALE;
			mainContent.paddingBottom = 20 * SCALE;
			mainContent.percentWidth = 100;
			mainContent.percentHeight = 100;
			mainContent.horizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.CENTER;
			mainContent.gap = 10 * SCALE;
			this.addElement(mainContent);
 
			textarea = new TextArea();
			textarea.percentWidth = 100;
			textarea.height = 550 * SCALE;
			textarea.setStyle("fontSize", 35 * SCALE);
			textarea.addEventListener(TextOperationEvent.CHANGE, onChangeText);
			mainContent.addElement(textarea);
 
			classesDropwDown = new DropDownList();
			classesDropwDown.percentWidth = 100;
			classesDropwDown.height = 70 * SCALE;
			classesDropwDown.selectedIndex = 0;
			classesDropwDown.setStyle("borderColor",0xdddddd);
			classesDropwDown.setStyle("dropShadowVisible",false);
			classesDropwDown.setStyle("editable",false);
			classesDropwDown.setStyle("fontSize", LABEL_FONT_SIZE);
			classesDropwDown.buttonMode = true;
			classesDropwDown.addEventListener(DropDownEvent.CLOSE, onSelectClass);
			classesDropwDown.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickDropwDown);
			mainContent.addElement(classesDropwDown);
 
			btnSend = new Button();
			btnSend.label = "Send";
			btnSend.enabled = false;
			btnSend.percentWidth = 100;
			btnSend.height = 70 * SCALE;
			btnSend.setStyle("fontSize", 35 * SCALE);
			btnSend.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSendSMS);
			mainContent.addElement(btnSend);
		}
	}
}

For The Group of contacts we use a Dropdown Function To get the data.

private function onClickDropwDown(event:MouseEvent):void
		{
			DropDownList(event.currentTarget).openDropDown();
		}
 
		private function onSelectClass(event:DropDownEvent):void
		{
			if(DropDownList(event.target).selectedItem)
			{				
				if(!Manager.isTextEmpty(textarea.text) && int(DropDownList(event.target).selectedItem.data) > 0)
				{
					btnSend.enabled = true;
				}
				else
				{
					btnSend.enabled = false;
				}
			}
		}
 
		public function set classes(value:Array):void
		{
			_classes = value;
 
			if(_classes != null && _classes.length)
			{
				var classesLists:ArrayList = new ArrayList();
 
				for (var i:int = 0; i < _classes.length; i++)
				{
					var cclass:CClass = CClass(_classes[i]);
					classesLists.addItem({label: cclass.className, data: cclass.id});
				}
 
				classesDropwDown.dataProvider = classesLists;
 
				textarea.enabled = true;
				classesDropwDown.enabled = true;
			}
			else
			{
				textarea.enabled = false;
				classesDropwDown.enabled = false;
			}
		}

The Text Field Function.

public function get smsText():String
		{
			return textarea.text;
		}
 
		public function clearSmsText():void
		{
			textarea.text = "";
		}

The Button Function to send and generate a message.

private function onSendSMS(event:MouseEvent):void
		{
			var selectedClass:CClass = new CClass();
 
			for (var i:int = 0; i < _classes.length; i++)
 
				var cclass:CClass = CClass(_classes[i]);
 
				if(cclass.id == int(classesDropwDown.selectedItem.data))
				{
					selectedClass = cclass;
					break;
				}
			}
 
			dispatchEvent(new ClassEvent(ClassEvent.SEND_SMS,selectedClass));
		}

And For the Mediator of the SMSANE extension function to enable and access the data of the mobile phone.

package mediators
{		
	import com.sms.ane.SmsAne;
 
	import commons.Manager;
 
	import events.ClassEvent;
 
	import models.ClassModel;
	import models.vo.Student;
 
	import org.robotlegs.mvcs.Mediator;
 
	import views.SMSView;
 
	public class SMSViewMediator extends Mediator
	{
		[Inject] public var view:SMSView;
		[Inject] public var classModel:ClassModel;
 
		public function SMSViewMediator()
		{
		}
 
		override public function onRegister():void
		{
			eventMap.mapListener(view, ClassEvent.SEND_SMS, onSendSMS);
			init();
		}
 
		private function init():void
		{
			classModel.getAllClasses();
			view.classes = classModel.classes;
		}
 
		private function onSendSMS(event:ClassEvent):void
		{
			classModel.selectedClass = event.cclass;
			classModel.getAllClassStudents();
 
			for each(var student:Student in classModel.classStudents)
			{
				if(!Manager.isTextEmpty(student.cellnumber))
				{
					try
					{
						if(student.cellnumber.length == 10 || student.cellnumber.length == 11)
						{
							var cellNumber:String = (student.cellnumber.length == 10) ? String("0" + student.cellnumber.length) : student.cellnumber;
							SmsAne.getInstance().sendSMS(cellNumber, view.smsText);
						}
					}
					catch(e:Error)
					{
						trace("");
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
