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.

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.

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 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.

Consider I have the text
A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Now, this text is in a dynamic text field. I do not want to change the color of the whole field. just made fox red and dog blue.
How, can I do that in AS3. Have been looking around without no luck.

Person2 etc.I can change the color of the button when clicked, however I want to make sure when you click on a different button, it changes the previous button back to its original color.I know i can do this the ghetto way and list out all the buttons i want with no color each time but if later i have 50 buttons i dont want to list them. So i built a loop but the loop is not working right. Can someone help?

I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.

I have two flash pages, one black and one green, and I need the html background color to change accordingly. What I think I need to do is code the button to change the b/g color.
I've been following this tutorial so far: [URL]
but for some reason it's not working.
It might be a securities issue, it opens up the page asking me if I want to run the JS. When I click 'yes' it opens up the page but the background color is the same. So while it opens the page it might not be running the script?
or, I'm not putting the JS in the right area of the html code. Right now I'm putting it after the first <head>.
Is java script my only option? a friend mentioned using css, but I have nothing to go off of as to how to make that work.

I think I'm really close to getting my multiple choice question to work! Here's what it does:
1) Read my question, possible answers, and correct answer key from XML.
2) Print the question, 4 answers, and 4 radio buttons on the stage.
3) Clicking the submit button on the stage, checks the answer. The user gets feedback based on whether they are right or wrong.
1) When the user mouses over an answer, I want to change the text color.
Currently, only the color of the last answer is changing colors, and it's changing colors if I mouse over any of the answers.
Here's my code:
Code:
import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
var qLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

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:
Code:
this.createTextField("header", 99, 10, 10, 100, 300);
header.autoSize = true;
header.embedFonts = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.size = 50;
[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 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 trying to learn a simple way to code a button's color to change when you click on the button itself. I got the button's alpha to work by doing the following: Create a text field with the word "Preflight" and convert it to a button. Drag the button onto the stage and give it an instance name of "Preflight1". On the first frame of the timeline, insert the following code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
Preflight1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Preflight1Click);
[Code].....
Now when you test the movie, anytime you click the button "Preflight" the button's alpha drops (dims) by 10%. Works perfect and easy. Now, how can I do this exact same thing with the button's color? When you click the button, its color changes to some new color? I've tried colorTransform, but no luck.

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();
