How can I change the select ("highlight") color of an TextField in actionscript 3? I've got an input textfield with white text on a black backdrop and as a result, selections are invisible, which is horrible for usability.

View 3 RepliesI have this code that should change the color of a dynamic textfield when I rollover the link movieclip, and then back when I rollout. I get no compiler error, it just doesn't work.
function textColor(mc_function:MovieClip, tf_text:TextField) {
mc_function.onRollOver = function() {
tf_text.textColor = 0x7cb0b7;

Within FlashBuilder/Eclipse, when you select a word, such as "protected" or a variable, every instance of that word is also highlighted.How do I change the background color of the selected instances of that word or disable the feature altogether?I have already changed the "selected text background color", the instance background color seems to be controlled separately.
View 2 RepliesI am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?

Ok let me explain what I want to do: when my movie loads I want "textfield" to be focused, so I use Selection.setFocus(textfield); Fine! But on a frame before this I have a button to enter my site! Now as soon as you click this button it changes the focus so that when I enter the frame with the textfield it is no longer focused! Make sense? Well on this frame once the textfield is focused you can enter text right away! and then I have this listener which listens to an event within the textfield! Ok now I'm even more confused then when I started explaining this! Anyway I want the textfield to be focused when you enter this frame and if the user focuses something else, well then they will have to focus the textfield themselves. Basicly I just want the the textfield to be focused on load, but the problem is my button at the start! What?
how can i have another color of the selection?? i found nothing by using F1.

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 am trying to programmatically pass focus to a newly created TextField, but for some reason setSelection and setFocus do not work. For example, see my test code below:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" creationComplete="_init()">
<mx:Button click="{tf.setSelection(1,2)}" />[code]....
The only setSelection that does anything is the 0,3 one on MOUSE_DOWN. I assume this all has something to do with the text field receiving focus with the mouse click,
I have a custom skin applied to a Flex 4 spark datagrid. One really annoying issue I am having is finding the ability to override or change the selected row border color. I was able to set the selectionColor just fine but the border is still the default light blue color. I need it to be yellow.
Anyone know where I can find this style or override this border that is being set when selection happens within the skin itself.
How could i disable the selection color on single click and enable it just to double click.
View 1 RepliesI'm drawing a textfield onto a bitmap which I use as texture for a 3D object. I'm listening for Event.change, and so whenever the user adds a character I redraw the texture. But to really give the 3D object a 'interactive textfield feeling', I want to draw text selections and draw the caret (the blinking text cursor), but by default these a not drawn when using bitmapData.draw(textField), nor can I find a Event to listen for 'textSelected'.
//is there any event that catches text selection / blinking of text-cursor?
textField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, redrawTexture);
//...
//is there any way to draw text selection / text-cursor in the bitmap?
bmpData.draw(textField);
I have two datagrids which should do everything synchronic except the data entry. I already managed to make them scroll synchronic by using the scroll event. My question is now how to select a item of a datagrid only programmatically, and how to get the mouseover effect and underlining the corresponding row with a bright blue color?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to change the color of a textBox via xml but i'm stuck with this code:
ActionScript Code:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData=new XML(e.target.data);
var titleColor:Color=xmlData.appTitle.titleColor.text();
sTitle.textColor = titleColor.toString();
}
How is it done? All I've seen on the web is how to change the color. Well how about going back. I'm talking about a MC with many colors. I can't just change back to a single hexadecimal color.
I can accomplish the change as it passes over a frame, but I can't get it to change back.
In the frame is this:
Code:
cHurtColor = new Color(_root.compMC);
cHurtColor.setRGB(0x00FF33);
How to change the image or a mc color to black and white color?
