At first glance, Scaleform CLIK appears to be a basic set of prebuilt UI components, but the true intent of CLIK is to provide a framework for creating richer components and interfaces. Developers are free—and to some extent expected—to create custom components to suit their needs and to build upon the CLIK framework.

The prebuilt CLIK components provide standard UI functionality that ranges from basic buttons and checkboxes, to complex composite components such as list boxes, drop down menus and modal dialog boxes. Developers can easily extend these standard components to add more features or simply use them as a reference when creating a custom component from scratch.

The following sections describe each prebuilt component in detail. They are grouped by complexity and functionality. Each component is described using the subsections listed here.

• User interaction: How a user can interact with the component.
• Component structure: Elements required when constructing the component in the Flash authoring environment.
• Timeline states: Different visual states (keyframes) required by the component to function.
• Inspectable properties: Properties exposed in the Flash authoring environment to easily configure certain aspects of a component without the use of code.
• Events: List of events fired by the component that can be listened to by other objects in the UI.
