ActionScript 2.0 :: Change - Dynamically Loading The Colors On The Page From An Exteral Php Or Xml Document?
Apr 1, 2004
i work at this place that does tons of partner sites for our main company, that all the same site, just with different color schemes and logos. i'm in the middle of redoing a lot of the elements and making them flash based. i realized if i can have a way of maybe dynamically loading the colors on the page from an exteral php or xml document, that i would save myself and other much work in the future. does anyone know if a way to do this? to load the color of something from an external document? i'm taking about fill colors here. i think i've seen it done with componients, but is there a strictly actionscript method?

I'm trying to dynamically change movieclip colors. My MovieClips (on the main timeline) are named box_mc1, box_mc2, box_mc3, etc. I have the following code, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.[code]I don't quite understand why the trace statement doesn't work either, but the mouse pointer changes to a hand when I move over the MovieClips.
I am a scientist who knows molecular biology well but is a neophyte to Flex/ActionScript. I created a ColumnChart representing a probability histogram. I want to allow users to select a range of values on the X-axis via 2 sliders separate from the chart itself (one for the minimum value, one for the maximum.) By default the column bars are blue. But when the user selects a range, I would like to highlight that range in the chart a different color (eg. orange). How can this be done using ActionScript?
Q: I am making a web-application for school work. see: [URL] the collors i got working now but when i press the second button to change the view off the shoe i want that the colors change to. Now the colors keep standing. The colors are pictures converted into MC and the works with attachmovie. But with what script can i change the collors so they will change and fit on the shoe? I hope this is a good explanation. :S else i will make a better explenation.
I'm working on creating flash games site and want to make the facebook application version of it. As the site width is bigger than canvas default width I'm trying to find the way to check if the site is loading inside facebook canvas and change the width accordingly.
I have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately. For example, if my variable "type" is "urgent", it would be a red text color.I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out. I've tried setStyle, setRendererStyle, setTextFormat and many more and dozens of combinations.
I used the example of the "Changing Colors Using ActionScript" from your site to add to a rollover state on a movieClip. It works fine but how to I reverse the state when I rollOut. eg goes to black on rollOver and then back to its original full color image on rollOut?
When using a ColumnChart created in Flex 3, how can I to change the fill color of columns that meet a certain criteria?
Example: I have 8 columns representing agreement percentages between groups of people and want to change the fill color (or otherwise highlight) of all the columns that have over 80% agreement.

I imported a .psd file that I created with Photoshop CS4 into Flash CS4 and the colors did not transfer over correctly. The colors (specifically the green text coloring) is a lot lighter/paler than they were in photoshop. How do I import a .psd over to Flash without the colors I used in Photoshop. Attached are a .jpeg image of what the photoshop file looks like and the resulting .SWF file after importing the .psd file.
I have a movieClip on stage with the instance named btn1_btn. The original movieClip is just a white box with a black stroke created with the box tool, but when its clicked I want it to change color.
I have created an event listener for the btn1_btn and I have tried numerous properties of the movieClip class like color, fill etc but I am having no luck.
Also, would it be a better way to have another box on top with the alpha at 0 then when the event function runs, have the alpha set to 1?

I've got a few problems with this project at the moment. I've got the function to colour tween the shapes through actionscript. As you look through it seems ok but I am trying to get all 3 boxes to change colour. Unfortunately I can only get one to change. When looking at the functions called by the buttons the second box seems to take priority over the first one. How can I get all three boxes to change to my desired colours? [URL]. This is an MX 04 fla file.
Let's say a user can pick fifty different hat colors and styles to put on an avatar. The avatar can move his head around, so we'd need the same types of movements in the symbol for when that happens. Additionally, it gets which hat should be on the 'avatar' from a database. The problem is that we can't just make 50 different frames with a different hat on each. And each hat symbol will have the same movements, it'll just be different styles, colors and sizes. So how can I make one variable that is the HAT, that way we can just put the appropriate hat symbol into the variable and always be able to call Hat.gotoAndplay('tip_hat') or any other generic functions.... Does that make sense?
I am updating an older project, written in Flex 3 with some new functionality and I cant figure out how to do something that appears to be really simple.I am passing in data to a panel via XML and binding the properties of the panel to this XML, so for example:[code]My question is simple:How do I set the panel Title and Status colors using data that is passed in the XML?You can set titleStyleName to the name of a styledeclaration but the are no styles for titleColor or statusColor.
I am using a web template for a client that contains a flash header. Images and text can be changed with a data.txt file and image replacement. However I also need to change the colors of the button backgrounds and one of the display fields...I have macromedia flash 8, the fla and swf files.
I work in expressions a lot and not in dreamweaver or macromedia 8; I've opened the files in M8, but this is totally over my head right now.
I want to change the color of my image when I move the mouse over it. So I've prepared 2 images and this is the eventListener:
[Code]...
Unfortunately when I move the mouse over, I only see a blank image (error, image not found). However the compiler doesn't give me any error, and I tried to use the same path of the original image, and also to remove "../" in case he is referencing from root directory in run-time. But still nothing. The image is stored there, of course. However if I can apply an effect to change the color from blue to orange to my image (by preserving the transparency), I could solve differently
I have movie clips which I made act as buttons, (Previous, Pause/Play, Next).[code]...
The button is a non-filled circle with the proper symbol in the center.
I am going to add themes to my application, where people can choose a pre-selected theme, which will load all info through a xml file (background-image, button colors, scrubber colors, etc).
How would I change the colors of the buttons in my movie clip? They are pre drawn images, that are stored in my library.
I am creating a green circle with a white arrow inside it and want arrow to change from white to green and the circle to change from green to white when user mouses over it.My function is the following:
ActionScript Code: private function DrawSliderPrevBtn():void { SliderPrevBtnMc.graphics.clear();[code].....
I have an external .as file (just starting with external files) and I would like to have more than one function in there so that this .as file can hold all of my similar functions, let's say drawing shapes. Is this possible? If so how can I call these functions.
I'm building a project for a gaming website and i have an interesting dilemma. How do i make the font color change based on the data loaded from the external .txt file.
Example:
In text files i could have... yes yes yes no no maybe yes no. If the text says yes i would like for the font to change to green, if no to red, or maybe to orange/yellowish.
So basically if i went in and changed the No to a Yes on a .txt file, the next time i viewed that flash section the yes text would be in green instead of the default set by the flash core itself.
I hope i am making sense. I don't even know how to go about starting and i stared at the actionscript list for awhile to no avail.
I have a simple .fla file with a circle on the stage. I want to set actionscript to make the circle randomly change colors when playing. I've tried all sorts of script commands using math random but to no avail
I am trying to create a website with a product where you can change the colors on the product similar to this url...Is this something that I can do with flash?
I have a large deal of fla files that (among many, many other problems) are using a black 0,0,0 RGB for fills and lines. I need the minimum RGB to be 15, 15, 15 and I was wondering if there was any way to automate the process of making these changes. Instead of going in and chaging each fill one by one (which I'll do, but it would be painful) I was hoping there was some way to insert a tidbit of code and have it all change automatically.
This would be similar to creating a batch in photoshop, automating the change of the black from black to a slight grey(with color adjust, for instance), and letting it do it's thing for the thousand odd pictures. While I know the process would have to be completely different for vectors, I'm hoping an example like that clears up the problem a bit.
I followed the Changing Colors Using ActionScript and understand how it works, but I want to have the color stay changed until I click on another button. I also want to have one set of buttons for one shape and another set for a 2nd shape and a 3rd set for a 3rd shape. Do I just recopy the script substituting different shape names?
