Using Radio Menus and Other Inputs in JSFL?

Question

Is it possible to use radio menus, drop-down select lists, and other types of GUI inputs for JSFL scripts?

I noticed from this article these types of inputs can be accomplished using XMLUI, but so far I have not found complete documentation for XMLUI.

Is it even advisable to use XMLUI, or should I consider another route, like making Adobe Animate Extensions / Plugins for more advanced input possibilities?

Thank you greatly for your input on this, as I hope to share my Adobe Animate automation scripts in the future to help compensate for some of Adobe Animate's missing features.

Hi.

The official docs don't have a list/API of XMLUI controls as far as I can tell.

The most complete reference I've found is this one:

I think the options available may be good for most basic scenarios, but I think you will soon realize that they aren't really enough. So a custom extension will most likely be needed to cover all use cases, IMHO.
