ActionScript 2.0 :: Change The Color Of A Dynamic Text Field When Press A Button?
Jun 17, 2004
I *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?

Object(root).currentNum=1;
Object(root).pageNum.text = Object(root).currentNum;
Object(root).arrowLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, arrowLeftClick);
function arrowLeftClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
Object(root).currentNum-=1;
}

Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial to scroll a text field down and up with the press of the 'down' and 'up' button? I realize this is very simple, so if you could be so kind to take 20 seconds and let me know.

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 am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.

I'm pulling text from an xml file into a dynamic text field and I need to highlight the text one paragraph at a time depending on where the timeline playhead is. I was thinking of doing this by changing the color of the text but I don't know how to do it inside the CDATA tags.At the moment one CDATA populates one text field.Another option is that there would be a movie clip behind the text that would jump to highlight a specific paragraph but then I would need to know how much vertical space each paragraph takes.

_root.game.battle.ti.setRGB(CCFF00);

i need a little help. I need to know how to set a dynamic fields' font (and other properties) with actionScript.I thought it could be something like:
Code:
myDynamicTextField.font = "Comic Sans MS";
or at a long shot:
Code:
myDynamicTextField.setStyle("fontFamily", "Comic Sans MS");
(The second one only seems to work with "TextArea" components from the Components menu)
