Standard controls?

Does anyone know of a template or art pack that contains standard controls. I'm talking about things like:

- radio button
- dropdown menu
- checkbox control
- text input field

These are the kinds of things that you would expect to interact with on a web form or within a web application. I searched the forums and marketplace and I can't see anything. If these don't exist anywhere that anyone knows of, how difficult do you think it would be to make them?

    I'm sure there are some... you can also click New in GameSalad Creator and search for "menu" or "keyboard" and see what demos are available.

    Radio button: easy (When Touch is Pressed --> change attribute game.buttonState to self.ID -- 1, 2, or 3, for example; When self.ID is equal to game.buttonState --> change image to ["on" image], otherwise change image to ["off" image]).

    Dropdown menu: moderate (Google "gamesalad menu" and go to town).

    Checkbox control: easy (When Touch is Pressed --> When game.checkboxStatus is false --> change image to ["on" image], change attribute game.checkboxStatus to true; When change image to ["off" image], change attribute game.checkboxStatus to false.)

    Text input field: easy, but somewhat limited (Google "gamesalad keyboard input").
