View 2 RepliesI *know* this is simple. I've read every thread on this board pertaining to this (including senocular's Best Of thread), done everything there and this still doesn't work and I can't see why.
I feel like an idiot even asking, because I've seen the examples and lengthy tutorials.
All I want to do, is change the color of a dynamic text field when you press a button. But I want the name of the field to be a variable.
Now, this is what's there:
1. the variable "_root.expinttype1" is equal to "branch" and is set elsewhere.
1a. There is an existing dynamic field called "branch" on screen.
2. On the button release I set the format:
[Code]....
Why? I set a dummy variable txt = _root.expinttype1; and even threw it into a text field to verify the data, and it shows "branch", so why doesn't this work?
If I have say 7 buttons, each containing text that changes color on rollover using the "Up" "Over" and "Down" keyframes in the buttons' timeline. Is there a simple way to get the button's text to change color when clicked, stay that way, and then change back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are clicked?
The only thing I can come up with is writing pages of code for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.
I have followed Ned's code from another post, whereby if a text button is clicked, the color will change. The code is like
var clicked:Boolean = false;
var clicked2:Boolean = false;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1click);
[Code]....
Now if I click on the first button, it changes color and stays like that, which is perfect. If I click on btn2, this changes color and stays like it. The problem is that if btn2 is pressed, it should change color and stay like it (as it is doing), but btn1 should return back to its normal color (black).
I am trying to simulate onpress and onrelease functions but using onMouseDown and onMouseUp.squareContainer can be dragged around but squareBack, which is inside squareContainer changes colour when clicked. These both work.But.. when I drag squareContainer around, if the mouse is on squareBack (back) it changes colour as it sees it as onMouseDown. In the mouseUp, if squareContainer has changed position then it has been dragged. Then, using this I somehow want to say in mouseDown that if squareContainer is being dragged then dont change colour.. but it doesnt work!!![code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a movieclip fill color to change once clicked. I'm able to get the mouseover and mouseout working. But the click state isn't working properly.Here's my code:
Code:
Code:
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onFolderOver, false, 0, true);
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onFolderOut, false, 0, true);
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMovieclip, false, 0, true);[code]......
When I use the above code, nothing happens once clicked. I tried using the color property, but, although that made a color change (black),it wasn't the color I had indicated (white).What I have is a movieclip ("my_mc"). Inside the movieclip are other movieclips. When one is clicked, only that movieclip ("my_mc.movieclip01"), is highlighted.
in my drawing program i have it so when u click a different color tab or whater to change the color it takes you to a new frame with the coding the same except the color. but when it goes to a different frame the stuff it formerly drew gets erases. how can i fix this!
View 9 RepliesIm making a tool to plan dungeons, its a 25x25 grid made up of movieclips, the movieclip used has 10 layers, each layer a different colour/pattern to represent a room type. The idea is to choose the room from the legend then click on the movie clips you want to turn them into that room type.i have tried 2 methods, 1st i generated a grid and added a "cell"+count to each new instance as made, however i can only get it to change the last cell, no matter which clip is clicked.Now the 2nd "noob" method is to make each cell(instance square on the grid) and label them by hand, as well as add the code for each cell, but clearly this is alot of work. But it works, the next steps would be To convert the current grid setup into a text string to save Add a counter so you know how many squares you have used Reset button.
View 1 RepliesI have a slideshow with keys that when clicked, direct the viewer to a certain image in a slideshow. I did this using some as3 directing flash to go to certain frames with specific labels tied to specific 'keys' or little navigation buttons.
Often I see slideshows where once the little navigation button that represents a certain slide in a show is clicked, it changes color. Not just when it is clicked, but when it is currently on the specified image. When another button is clicked, and when that image in the slideshow is no longer 'current', the color of the button (or mc if that's what it needs to be) changes back to the normal color. Currently, I have the button's over and down states as one color, and the up and hit states as another color. What do I need to do to ensure that when the button is clicked, and it's corresponding image is the 'current' image shown on screen, that the button changes to a different color to distinguish it from the rest of the nav buttons?
Here is an example of what I want to do:[URl]...

View 1 Repliessimple (?) question: what's the easiest way to programmatically change the style of an ADG cell most recently clicked by the user? Important note: I'm assuming cells not to editable and the selection mode to be singleRow, i.e. the specific cell needs to render differently from the standard highlight that comes with being part of the selected line.

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;

View 1 Repliesi have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?
