altough the color has changed according to the difference between the results of the first and the second trace the color did not actually change in the flash movie when played.the setTextFormat was replace with setting it directly since this did not even lead to a reported change of the textColor. the textfield is dynamically attached to a movie and is filled with text before i change the color.
I want to change the color of many text fields at once. I created an array, then a for each loop where I datatype the var to a TextField. For some reason, Flash reads this variable as a String, so I can't change the text field's color.
I have a global textfield format which I want to make a local copy of within a function, so I can make small variations without changing the overall global format. The way I do it below is still a reference instead of a value, so the global format changes as well. How can I make a new format (local to the function) based of the global format? [code]
I am make an input textfield via actionscript and then applying a textformat, cannot type in it.
Code: var format = new TextFormat(); with (format) { font = "Tahoma"; size = 8; bold = true; [Code] .....
It not only puts it in the box(neatly formatted the way i like), I can also erase it and type what i want in the box. Also if i comment out the embedFonts line, it works too (obviously without formatting).
I've created a custom format for a TextField text as below:
Code: var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); var _font:Font = new VerdanaPlain(); _format.font = _font.fontName; _format.size = 12;
and then I've applied it to a TextField like so:
Code: var _text:TextField = new TextField(); _text.setTextFormat(_format); _text.text = "Here is some text";
and for some strange reason, the format does not seem to have any effect on the text in the text field. It still shows using default settings. And yes I have exported the font for linkage.
The movie I am working on has a dynamic text field which I setup and format in the constructor of the ActionScript 3.0 class code for the movie - I am working with CS3 Flash. I do not reformat the text field anywhere in the code after the constructor.The text displays in the text field perfectly as long as I do not highlight the text when running the movie.
If I highlight the text in the text box as if I were going to copy and paste, the next time text is written to the text field the font type and size changes. The only way to reset the font formatting is to restart the movie.
Is there a solution or workaround? Of course I can reformat the text everytime I write new text to the textfield, but during the course of the movie text is rewritten to the textfield many times.
I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?
When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting. Is there a trick to this.

Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code: myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){ // Change color }
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

I just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
