ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Color Of Each Letter In Dynamic TextBox
Sep 19, 2007
I have a problem changing the colour of text in a dynamic text box. I have created a dynamic text field with the following text in it: jjj fff jjj fff. I then have an input text box below it. The user has to type the letters it sees in the text box above. If the user types a j the text in the textfield turns green, to indicate that the user entered the correct letter, if the user inputs the incorrect letter in comparison with the text above the text above (e.g: turns red.).
I want to program the text in the text field so that only the letter that they were supposed to type turns either green or red, depending on whether they typed the correct letter in the input box. For example. if the user inputs a 'j' in the input box, the first j in the text field above, will turn to green, then if the user types in an f, the j in the text field above will turn to red, as the user was supposed to type a 'j'. How can I control each letter colour of the textfield.

I can't get the letterspacing property to function in a dynamic text box, I have tested it with color and it works just fine. just letterspacing. And I have embedded the font, so I know it isn't that. The code affecting the text box is this.
Code:
var txt_box0:TextField
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = 4
//trace(format1.letterSpacing)
txt_box0.setTextFormat(format1)
Those working with AS2 have had similar problems but managed to fix it by typing "setNewTextFormat", which has been phased out in AS3.

I'm using Flash CS5, and dcepending on what the user does, I'm changing the font in a dynamic text box using
gFormula = "Na<font face='GG Superscript Sans'>+</font>"
txt_Names.htmlText = gFormula
The correct font appears on the computer where the font is installed but not on other computers, so I assume that it is a font embedding problem. I have embedded the font.

I have a dynamic text box and I would like to be able to use actionscript 3 to change the color, font, size, etc. of only HALF the dynamic text. Is there a way to use the TextFormat class (or another way) to format half the string and append it to the end of the dynamic text? I also don't want to use server side script or anything outside of flash.
I want to do this:
Hello World -> Hello World
Example: change the color of Half of the dynamic text box.

I have an array made up of nodes pulled from an XML file. Is it possible to change the text attributes (i.e. color or alpha) of one of these chunks of text.
So a very typical situation. XML is loaded into arrays. The text is loaded with a for loop into an empty movieslip. Looks like this:
text_obj.xmlNode1[n]
So lets say I want to do something to the color of array position 1. I set up a little function....
dummyButton.onPress = function(){
text_obj.xmlNode1[0].color = 0xff0000;
}
Seems like it should work, but doesn't Can I do this with dynamic text? Is there a workaround? I basically need to call out portions of the text during an animation. Think animated text highlighting.

I'm working on a quiz file that imports data in from xml. Users enter their answers into an input textbox then click on a button to see if they got a question right or wrong. This works fine except for when a user enters a space after the last letter. The quiz doesn't always use one word answers so I don't think it's a case of using ignoreWhiteSpaces. I've been playing around with this for a while but havn't had any joy. Here is my button code:

I am building a dynamic RSS viewer in actionscript 3. I wrote a flex application to create the xml code, now I load the xml into my flash application. Now the user of my flex app can pick a color for a thread. I import this hex value into flash to assign a background color of a movieclip. The problem is that the movieclip also has dynamic text in it. With my function changeColor() I seem to be changing this font color as well. I have tried to solve it by using a TextFormat but no luck.
Code:
for each(var channel:XML in rssInfo.channels.channel){
var menuItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
changeColor(menuItem,channel.color);
menuItem.x = 512 + i*120;
menuItem.y = 718;

I have a xml menu bar with the menu titles in black. This titles are loaded from an xml file into a dynamic text field inside a movieclip. Well, i would like to set the color of the menu items to red when clicked and back to black when any other menu item is clicked. I know there is a way with actionscript (i have been going on circles around the color class the hole afternoon ) but i cant find it (i admit, im quite a dummy with AS).

I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.

i have been doing this tutorial http:[url]..but i am stuck on PART 8, i have done everything the tutorial has said so far (although my image and the colors used are different) but the large blank box at the top of the color pallet isnt changing color when i click on any color from the pallet.
Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.

So i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK);
function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{
background.play(); homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.

My buttonMC is build of:
1. shape (a rectangle gray color) converted to MC named = Bar
2. (on top of 1) DynamicText named = buttonText converted to MC named = buttText in order to change the color of the shape I decleard a veriable
cButton = new Color(this.Bar);
I then add actionscript onRollOver
cButton.setRGB(nRed << 16 | nGreen << 8 | nBlue);
but it also changed the color of the text so I added a veriable for the text field
tButton = new Color(this.buttText.buttonText);
tButton.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);but that didnt help
this is bad becuse the text on the screen is unseen.

I'm trying to make 3 sliders that, depending on each other, changes the value of a text-box. Example:
If Slider A moves to 150, the value in the text-box changes to 150.
If you then move Slider B to 40, the value in the text-box changes to (150+40) 190.
Same thing for Slider C.
So basically I want the value of what you select in each Slider to be added together in real time like this: [URL]. Only this shows just one slider, and I want three, added together.

I've got an inputfield.OnChange Event Handler.When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like: t32t43g

But now a want the first letter of every line in bold or 2 point sizes bigger.I know I can only embed one text style - and bold would be an additional style, right?But it's only a simple list of words - no links - no other extras.
