I'm creating a text editor and I want users to be able to select only part of a textfield and change the color.The problem I'm running into is the ColorPicker gains focus (I'm guessing) and the textfield loses it's "selection."All examples of text editing show the entire textfield changing color.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
I've checked textField's class properties, but couldn't find a property to change COLOR OF SELECTED TeXT, so that when i select txt inside textField which has for ex. black background, and white text color, color of the text selected will be for ex. GREY default is i think BLACK selection color.

View 1 RepliesI want to find a text in the particular text field when we enter a word in the find text field and click find button. I have the following objects on the stage.One big input text box (input_txt), one small text box (find_txt) and one button (find_btn) on the stage. I have written following code in action.[code]But it finds and selects only one word and stops. It is not finding another word if there is one more similar word.For example, if there are two words "story", it finds last entered word "story" in the input_txt and stops. I want to find and select all similar words one after another in the full text field as in the normal text program like notepad and word.

View 3 RepliesSo.. all I want to do is to have a toggle button which changes label color to #999999 when selected. But for some reason i cant get it to work
This is my code for the button:
Code:
package components.main_content.submenu.submenu_link
{
import components.NoTruncationUITextField;
[Code]....
I tried assigning it with CSS (text-selected-color) and failed, i tried putting <mx:SetProperty target="{textField}" name="textColor" value="0x999999" /> in my skin class in all "selected" states but it worked only when run (one of the buttons starts as selected).. as soon as i ran my mouse over it or clicked another button it reverted back to the original color.
I am having two panels with separate colorpickers in them. If i select a particular color in the colorpicker, then the border of that panel should change to that color. I am able to do this perfectly but, since i have written the same code for both colorpickers, when i select the other colorpicker the previous panel color is coming to the normal color i.e. default panel color.
If i want the panels to retain the color even after selecting the other colorpicker what should i do... I am using event.CHANGE on colorpicker and setting the style of borderColor for the panel.
I'm trying to change the selected date text-color.
<fx:Style>
.dateChooser{
selection-color:#000000;
}
</fx:Style>
I changed my selected date (FEB 23) selection-color to black, but I also need to change the text-color, let's say to white.
how can I change the color of a selected piece of text dynamically? I tried somethings like this (the function is called by a button):
Code:
function changeColor() {
Selection.setFocus(textFieldname);[code]....
but I guess 'sel' isn't a string, so i can't add textColor to it? Adding something like:
Code:
sel = new String(begin, end); doesn't help much.
I am trying to set selectedColor of the colorPicker component to the color of a TextFormat. colorPicker.selectedColor is of type uint and TextFormat.color of type object. I looked around and found this function:
Code:
function fixColorCode( color:Object, hasAlpha:Boolean = false ):uint
{
if( color is String ){
var pattern:RegExp = /#/;
[code]....
The last line returns the following error: "1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Number."

View 1 RepliesSay I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?
