I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
[Code]...
AS2, from an email form for my website:
instance: from_txt, var: from
the onKillFocus part works great, the onSetFocus does not. The input text has "your name here" typed in to begin with.
from_txt.onSetFocus = function() {
if (from == "your name here") {
from = "";
}
};

I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
Code:
naam.onSetFocus = function(){
this.background = true;
this.backgroundColor = 0xdddddd;[code]....
but to me it seems that there must be a way to combine all this lines of code into one single function or at least two one for the setFocus and one for the killFocus.
I have a form with numerous input boxes. I've set tab orders to tab through the fields. In this scenario, I actually LIKE the edge highlight that appears around the textField when tabbing through them. However, this dissappears for any textFiled that I placed an onSetFocus event
View 1 RepliesI have quite a weird problem..I have an input text field and AS written for it to change it's content with "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions.
The problem is that when I add a "MediaDisplay" component to the scene input text's "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions won't work and as well as some other problems apear..I've seen that for these 2 functions I have to export with flashplayer 8 and so it is.

I've almost finished a website I've been doing, but I still have 2 issues/bugs. - The first is the one that made me start this thread. I've isolated the problem and uploaded the .fla file (MX2004 - 7.2), with a simplified example. You can download it at [URL] (don't worry, this link has nothing to do with the website, LoL)
Description: The combobox instance in the preloader frame is there to avoid the rectborder problem. If you leave things that way, on Form1 you'll notice that you can't kill focus by clicking outside the input text boxes, because it immediately sets focus back (you can only change focus from one input box to another). Let's call this issue bug A.
If you delete the combobox instance located in the first frame (preloader), you will not have the kill focus issue anymore (after setting focus on one of the text boxes, you can now click outside and it will kill focus and stay that way). However, if you go towards the second form (the one with the combobox), you'll now notice a bug that was previously non-existent: the combobox border (I've set its colour to red to highlight the problem better) will remain there after you've selected one of the combobox's available options. Let's call it bug B. I know that second bug is known, and that was why I used that solution with the instance placement on the preloader frame.

I'm absolutely and completely dumbfounded by this problem...
Code:
target.txtField.onSetFocus = function() {
trace(inputText.getFieldText()); // custom function, outputs a string (ex. "name")
if (this.text == inputText.getFieldText()) {
this IF statement runs through fine
this.text = ""; // won't work, no matter if I set it to empy or anything...
}
}
I'm probably doing something very stupid here... but I can't figure out what. I've done my research, gone over examples online and in books, still not working. The text field goes blank, but I cannot type into it, and it loses focus (if I try using Selection.setFocus(this); it doesn't work).
I have a text box which I want to display a certain text on it when it loads, say, "demotext", for example. However, I want it to clear that text when the user clicks on it and then only displays stars when they type (as if it has turned into a password box when they clicked on it). So far I only have this:
ActionScript Code:
cancelcount.onSetFocus = function() {
cancelcount.text = "";

View 3 Replieshow to set the scrollpane's background color in AS3 with CS4?You can't seem to use _Globals, setStyle,and opaqueBackground doesn't seem to work
effectively.
I've already tried a lot, but there was no way I could change the color of my textInput. Adobe Livedocs couldn't help me and there was no working piece of code I could find in other messageboards.
These things haven't work for me:
myTextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFFF00);
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", Number(0xFFF00));
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", "#FFF00");
Do I have to do something about the border of the textInput. Or about the "background"-Property (if it still exists for AS3)??
That's really all I want to do. Why is something like this so complicated? When you go into Component edit mode, you can easily change the highlight colors. Then why make it impossible to change the actual ground color? Why should I have to scour the internet to find complex code just to change the color? Sorry, it's just frustrating.Anyway, if setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xCCCCCC); ... was all I needed to do that would be fine, but that doesn't work.Even if it's not possible, I would accept text rollOverColor, or hover... nothing.I think there should be a drop down color box in the component editing window at the very lest.

I have a textfield on stage and on RollOver I want to get it's background color?

i can set the stage's background color, etc., using a SWF metadata tag:
[SWF(width="1024", height="600", frameRate="60", backgroundColor="#000000")]
or if i'm using Flash Professional, i can simply set these properties for the document in the UI.
while the Stage class offers the ability to set a frameRate and override width and height thru properties in actionscript, why is it not possible to set the background color of the stage the same way?
Stage doesn't have a property (public or otherwise) for background color. can anyone explain why that is? it seems strange to me but i'm assuming there is a good reason rather than this simply being a oversight.

View 1 RepliesI have a simple application which uses a RichTextEditor with a colored background, like so:
[code]...
This works fine when I compile against Flex 3.5.0, but in Flex 4.0 and 4.5, the background color remains white. I've tried setting it before the text, after the text, before and after it is added to the stage - even every single frame with an EnterFrame handler. Nothing - it just stays white.
Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone have a workaround? I don't really want to switch to a Spark component if I can help it, and I can't downgrade the whole application to 3.5.
Folx; Does the manual document the setting of transparency in TextField.textColor or TextField.backgroundColor, not just the _alpha of the TextField altogether? If so, I cant seem to find it. In addition to the RGB/hex values, the color palette in the Properties panel allows you to set transparency in %, yes, but can this also be achieved programmatically?

I got two textfields on top of each other, with different sizes. When I push button_1 I want text in textfield_1 and when I push button_2 text in textfield_2.
That works but now I got links in both textfields and the the links in textfield_2 are not working because textfield_1 is on top of him. Can I swap the the arrangement ? I tried the swapDepths but this doesn't work for me Maybe I can disable textfield_1 when I pusch button_2 ??

I should note they are all embedding the desired fonts. But when displaying my flash movie in low quality my text fields no longer appear... changing back to high quality the text fields appear fine.Is there a way to ensure the textfields will appear even at low quality? And what is the reason for them no longer rendering at low quality?
