ActionScript 2.0 :: Function That Changes The Background Colour Of A Text Field
Aug 19, 2005
I have a function that changes the background colour of a text field:
Code:
function changeColour() {
_root.ticker_txt.backgroundColor = "0xFFCC00";
_root.ticker_txt.background = true;
[Code]....
If I move the changeColour(); call outside of the unpause(); function - it works perfectly!?
I am sure it is the way I am refrencing the textField - but everything is in the same moviclip/scene/frame - so _root should work surely?

I have tried to locate any guidance how you would go about creating a small control panel that would allow a user to adjust the size of the text, its colour and say the background colour too using actionscript 3.I understand that text formatting can be done on dynamic textfields but can this be achieved on static textfields?I am currently putting together a number of modules each a swf that contains e-learning and to comply with DDA.

I don't know why but if I create a text field on the stage ( no as ), flash creates a white background in it... I have changed all parameters but the bg field remains the same...
Anyone knows how can I set the default transparent bg for the text?

I am loading in text from an XML file, and it loads in fine but I am getting a black box behind each of my letters in my text field. I tried to cancel it out by write the background = false; but it is not working. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have loaded in hundreds of .txt files and this has never happened, but this is my first time loading in XML txt, so I am not sure what to do?

I am trying to change the background color of a textInput field.
I have tried:
ActionScript Code:
var textInputFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textInputFormat.color = 0xFF0000;
_textInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", textInputFormat);
However this doesn't want to work.

I have a dynamic text field being fed html formatted text from an external text file, and is set to autosize vertically (left), works no problem. I have an animated movie clip behind the text field for a background, so the text looks like it's inside a (animated) colored box. How do I make the background movie clip autosize (vertically) along with the text box above it?

I made a website a year back or so and I'm having to update it now. However I've noticed the flash menu I have on the site doesn't seem to appear correctly anymore when I check in on a PC using IE.
Basically in the bottom left hand corner the swf background colour should appear grey (#333333) not white. Seems to work fine on Safari and Firefox.

This is probably easy, but I'm an AS3 noob and google is returning every result under the sun apart from the ones I want. Is there a way to set the background colour of a flash movie according to a value pulled from an XML file?I already have the background colour property set as BGCOLOUR within my XML file, and I've used the code in line six to pull that value through (I think)...
ActionScript Code:
function processXML(e:Event):void {
var my_xml:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
my_speed=my_xml.@SPEED;
my_images=my_xml.IMAGE;
[code].....
Since adding the sixth line of code in the section above, it's broken the project, so I've had to remove that line.

I finaly got the code I needed to change the colour of my background but it clearly needs altering. At the moment it works but I have to click the button twice for the colour to change. Now for once I see that this makes sense because I have onRelease twice!
This code is on the button:
on (release) {
home_btn.onRelease = function() {
var myColor:Color = new Color (this._root.background1);
myColor.setRGB(0xFF8844);}
However i'm unsure how to alter the code correctly....I assume the second onRelease needs to change to something else? I tried just: home_btn = function() { but am really just guessing.

I'm trying to set the background of a createTextField(), BUT only for the lines, not the whole box.
If I use background and backgroundColor, it sets the whole text box bg to be white, but I only want the lines filled in.
For example, if you 'select' the text on an HTML page, only the lines are highlighted. Can this be done in Flash?
I'm using CS3 AS2.

Basically I've created a print class which has all the print job code in to print a sprite, however when I print it, the sprite which I've created acts like a mask and the area where the sprite graphic should be is filled with my background colour.When I scale the image to the width and height of the print width and height, obviously I've got a page full of purple.here's my code:
public function print():void {
//bitmap_to_print.smoothing = true;
var print_page:Sprite = new Sprite();

This is what I've done so far.
<!-- fill -->
<!--- Defines the appearance of drop-down list's background fill. -->
<s:Rect id="background" left="1" right="1" top="1" bottom="1" >
<s:fill>
[Code].....
If you look closely you'll see that I've changed the default value for the bgFill color. However, when I run my application, the background color for the dropdownlist is still the default white.

I want to make the colour of my browser to change when my swf reaches a certain frame in the time line.
In my flash project I have placed the following actionscript in one of the frames.
ActionScript Code:
getURL("JavaScript:changeBgColor('#000000')")
and I want place the following javascript in my HTML file:
ActionScript Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeBgColor(newBgColor) {
if (window.document && window.document.bgColor) {
[Code].....
but I don't know where in my HTML file to place it as there is alot of Java I don't understand. I have tried to place it in myself but it won't work. The HTML file I wanna place the Java into, is attached.

Anyway for some reason when i test scene the box comes up showing my flash fine but when i go and locate the .SWF in the folder that all my flash fla and swfs are then for some reason its only a graphic clip and movieclip animation that displays and the rest of the background is the background colour. I checked this by first changing it to black and preview. To which the background changed black and then did the same and changed the background colour to blue and the same thing happened, the background in the swf changed to blue aswell. I have no actionscript in the scene and the majority of the things are just art besides a graphic clip the movie clip animation.

I've created a banner ad (attached) for my company and intended to have it appear as a rectangle with rounded edges (transparent corners). It seems like I need to create a transparent border or mask to have my animated banner appear in this way.
Can I add a mask or a border to the whole thing just to make the rounded corners transparent and see the background colour of the site I'm putting it on?
Note: the corners are currently white. I can't change the colour to match the site background as 1. the banner will be shown in different places, and 2. the background is a gradient.

It seems like there are various hacks out there to change the background colour of the row of a datagrid but all of them seem to happen at render time.See: http:[url]....I have a datagrid where I need to change row colours to red then back to normal frequently based on changes to the bound ArrayCollection. So I'm looking for a way to change the row colours dynamically.Obviously as the changes are happening frequently it would be nice if changing the background colour of the row wasn't an expensive process.

I've used script -[URL] to open a centralised window on the release of a button. It works brilliantly but how to change the background colour of the opened window to black. I'm no programmer so don't really have much of a grasp of Action or Java script but having looked on the web, I think what I need to do is use document.bgColour('#000000') somewhere in the script but have no idea where to put it or even if it's right!

I'm trying to create a flash website where when you click on one page the background becomes darker and as you're about to click on another page the background becomes lighter again but if you want to go back to the previous page the background goes back to being darker. I hope this is clear. I've been trying to find a tutorial on this but I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terms, which is why I'm having no luck.

how do you control the backround colour of a movie clip and the stage? i have thought about placing a mc within the mc as a backround_mc, then change the tint attribute from my main timeline, is this on the right track?
i have a movie where a user loads images into an image viewer (mc) i have craeted. If a user clicks on gallery 1, the loader appears, and load the jpg and then tells the viewer to show onceloaded. But, if a user clicks on gallery 1, then clicks on gallery 2, the movie finishes loading picture 1, before loading picture 2, is there any waqy i can force the loader to stop loading one,a dn load two immediately.
I have careted a class, now, how do i assign an mc to be an object of that class, from the main timeline or the onclipevent load event
