Is there a way you can change a text objects color with AS? For example Giving the text object the instant name: my text. Then changing the color of that instant name??? The way I have been doing this in the past is by making the text object a movie clip and just making a second key frame with the second color. However this means I now have a lot of movie clips floating around.
View 1 Repliesi've got a function (a 'for' loop) that creates 20 movie clips on the fly. in each movie clip i dynamically draw an object with the api tool and all these objects follow a path.
what i want is that when the mouse is in the frame of the piece, i want the colors to change. i'm not sure if i can even do that. i've attached the .as file.

//set object and attibute

menuTextStyle.color = blue;

View 5 Repliesand just as many of you I'm migrating from AS2 to AS3. So far I had absolutely no issues with the migration due to the fantastic easy to understand tutorials around the web. That until I found my nemesis: as3 components Well here is the deal:I'm trying to make a datagrid that will display a list of online players in a game. This list have to have their names in different colors (gold and white).Upon mouse roll over they go on a "light green" color (JUST the text) and return to their regular state on mouse out.It used to be easy on AS2 since I had access to specific tutorials about that, but now on AS3 I feel completely lost.I've managed to get the text colors by a code I found that sorta "cheats" by replacing an inhibit class inside the datagrid forcing it to accept html code.
