ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing The Color Of An Array Item In A Text Field
Oct 15, 2009
Is it possible to change the way a array element displays in a dynamic text field. example this is the code i was given for flash AS2 lash 8
[Code]...
What I would like is to make the first two items off the array "Gen 1 Fail" and "Warning level 2" red text and warning three and four amber text and "end of list " white is this possible? I have looked at the string class but there does not seem to be a color property and text format seems to change the whole text field.
I am trying to change the background color of a textInput field. I have tried: ActionScript Code: var textInputFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); textInputFormat.color = 0xFF0000; _textInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", textInputFormat); However this doesn't want to work.
Is it possible to change part of the text in a dynamic text field using Actionscript? For example can I change the color of some words that are in the middle of a sentence?
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 have an input text field in which the user enters text. This text is displayed in an output textfield. The user should have the option to change the color of a selection, This color should be applied to the selection in both the input and output textfield. After that the user should be able to further edit the text without loosing the fomatting.
But pictures say more than words so...
1. The user selects text and sets the color to yellow
2. The text color is set to yellow just like I want
3. This is the actual issue. When the text (in the input field) is edited all text in the ouput field goes black again That's not what I want, I want the colored text to stay colored when the input is edited.
This is my code:
Code: txt_Input.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncOutput) btn_Format.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fncFormat) var tfmBlack:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
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.
So, 8 weeks ago I started with my GameDevelopment branch of the MediaTechnology tree at my school, and I am currently in my 1st week of the 2d Semester (or Period, as we call it here), and AS3 is introduced this time (last Period were GameMaker and XNA). There's a problem though.. I have to work with Arrays now, and last time I worked with Arrays was during PHP last year; almost half a year ago >_<"
Here's what we have to do for the 1st Assignment: Make a sort of lottery system for Christmass; Make sure names aren't drawn more than once, and that someone can't draw him/herself.
I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.
Is it possible to change the text property of a text field that is contained within a sprite? I've been trying but can't come up with the right syntax. Here is what I'm doing:
I've created a sprite named "lessonSprite" and added a text field to it in one function. Now, in another function, I'd like to change the text in the field.
I am trying to change the text color in a dynamic text field with xml.[code]but this creates a text field for you, which I dont need it created already have a dynamic text field with the var mybtninfo.What I have right now to get the text to show up in the field is:now only want to change the color of the text in the box thru XML.
I can't cope with the inheritance of this AS 3.0! I have the next code:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.text.*; public class CText extends Sprite {
[code]....
My only purpose is to create a text field, which is formatted and to have a chance to manipulate it later, so I think I need to express it as a Sprite.
I'm setting up a simple Flash contact form that sends a mail message using PHP. I'm using the Text Input and Text Field components and would love to style the background tint of the text fields so as to not be white. I want to be able to enter my own hexidecimal number.This seems like it should be easy, like a button or property or something, but I can't figure it out.
Using Flash CS4 on a Mac, in an ActionScript 2.0 file. (Can make a 3.0 file if necessary).
it posible to make two color in one text field using Actionscript 3.0 ? i have made for singel color and it work great, but i can't make it two? ex: the string, the second string how can i make like the string = black and the second string = red
one text field that gets a line pushed onto it every so often, but with a catch different words will have different colors; desired:
Line1 in my text field is here Line2 in my text field is here
Making more then one text field is not an option for the amount of text that will be pushed into this field, is there some obvious way of doing this I have overlooked in the AS3 doc?
tField.text = "Sher Ali"; var tFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); tFormat.color = 0xff0000;
I've got a string in AS3 composed of two elements that is dynamically assigned to a textField. I want to make one element one color and the other a different color. Code below: allInfoForSchedules = data[j].weekDay + " " + data[j].scheduleType + "."; I can make the entire string change color but not just one part of it.
What I am trying to do is: have a dynamically created text field change color when i roll over a movieclip. This is what I have: a movie clip with this code:
The dynamically created textfield (lets call it "header") works fine. However, i cannot seem to get the text field to change color once you roll over the instances. I've tried using " Code: on (rollover) { this.header.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;" } but no such luck....
I am trying to change the text color when getting echo text from php: Have defined in MC a dynamic field: EmailStatus "Submit" back command from php: Code: lv.onLoad = function() { _root.pages.Mail.EmailStatus = this.msg; };
And echo from PHP PHP Code: echo "&msg=Your mail was sent"; How can I make "Your mail was sent" another color instead of already chosen color for that field?
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....
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 just doing a test for the moment, where iv'e got a dynamic text field and a button. All i want is when the user presses the button, the numerical value of the number displayed in the text field increases by 1.
Say 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?
I'm looking to change the color of text in a movieclip when the user clicks it(IE it'll turn red for wrong, and green for correct). I've set it up so it can do other things, like gotoAndPlay, I just can't get it to change color. Here's what I've got so far for AS. The movieclip on the stage with the text in it is called q1, for question 1.
Code: stop(); q1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, navPress); function navPress(event:MouseEvent):void{
on click on "elements" i'm dynamically generating coloured boxes (all instances of the same symbol) and the colour of these boxes is applied through a colortransform. in the box there is a textfield and i want the the text to be colored according to the box color. i mean, if the box is dark the text has to be white, and viceversa.
here's the code:
Code: var box_text:TextField = new TextField(); //textformat for black text var dark_text:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
