ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Change Text Colour In Flash 4
Feb 11, 2003
I'm trying to work out how to change text colour in Flash 4, but nothing I've tried will do it.What I have is some text that the user edits, then a button for the colour. When they hit the button, the text changes colour.I've tried changing the alpha levels and visibility levels of the text boxes, putting masks over the boxes that move into place when the right button is pressed, and a bunch of different approaches.
I need to change all the elements in my movie that have the color X and change their color to color Y. Is it possible to have this in AS? like, if i press one button all the elements that have the color black (graphic, text, background, etc) change their color to yellow?
The goal is to have a link to a url, that changes colour when you roll the mouse over it. I'd rather it wasn't a btn as there are a lot of links similar and it would be very time consuming to change them all to symbols and stuff. I'm using flash CS4 [AS2]. Currently, I have a dynamic text box on the stage and a link in the link box. ***please see attatched screenshot*** Please can someone send over some AS2 script that I can use to change the colour of the text on mouseover?
I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
I've got a background behind the text that changes colour once the mouse is rolled over. However I'm trying to get the text to change colour at the same time. The text box is slightly smaller than the background box for the time being. When I put my most over the box it changes colou rto red as expected. However, when I roll my mouse over the text box, it turns completely white. This again is expected, but not what I want. This is happening because the text is turning white as its supposed to, and the background is as well when the mouse is taken off. The about text is a button, and its default rollover state is making the background turn white as it rolls over the text layer. Is there some way prioritize the background? What needs to be changed in the code? Also the drop shadow turns off when I put my mouse over them the first time and I m not quite sure why...Here's my AS code:
Using this code I am filling a dynamic text box with numbers 1-number defined by xml:
Code: var pageNum:String; txt.text = ""; for (var i:int=1; i < myXML.*.length()+1; i++) { pageNum = String(i); txt.appendText(pageNum+" "); }
What I would like to do is be able to change the colour of one number. If the dynamic text box has the numbers 1-5 in it I would, for example, like to change the colour of the number 2. Have it set to blue but the rest to white. How would I do this without changing the colour of the entire text field?
I have a Text MovieClip and am changing the text colour when the mouse rolls over the movieclip.This is good but I would like to be able to fade in and out the text colour change.
I have created a option with a sub menu. What i want to do is that when you rollover one of the sub options, it fades to another colour and then when you rollout it fades back?
+ if ya can't then have a look a the .fla it maybe useful to some of ya.
i've a movie clip (e.g. scroll_text) which is consist of 5 words (each word is an individual movie clip). an instance of 'scroll_text' movie clip placed in the main timeline with the following script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { _x -= 30; if (_x<=-2247) {
I was wondering how you change the text colour with action script. The Kirupa mouse trail tutorial I was looking at has the following script for the text:
letterformat = new TextFormat(); letterformat.font = "Verdana"; letterformat.align = "center";
I am streaming sound files for a customer with a simple button I created using text, using this stock behaviour code below. I would like the text in the button to change colour while the audio streams and return to its previous state when the audio is finished streaming. Is this possible? And if so, is there anyone who could offer up some sample code to to get me started?
is it possible to change the Highlight colour of dynamic selectable text. I have white text on a black background and the default colour of the hightlight colour is also black so it doesn't look like anything is selected when it actually is

how to change the background colour of a flash slide-show.

Is there anyway to change the colour of items showing in the dropdown list? By default, it's showing skyblue and I need to change it into grey? I'm using Flash CS4 IDE and AS3.
I'm building an activity for young kids where they click on a colour in a palette (mouse cursor will be a paint brush) then click on various shapes that I'll layer to create a picture.
depending on the colour they select they should be able to fill the shapes with that colour. Change colors half way through change their mind etc.
There are a few posts around this topic but not on exactly what I'm trying to do. At various points in my flash app I want to try to affect a change in the containing html. basically I want to be able to change the background colour of a div. I understand i will probably have to use external interface to call a javascript function, but I'm strugging to get the js right, I'm imagining something like this[code]...
I am looking to add some code to my xml file that will change the final font, size and colour in Flash Action Script 2. I want to be able to have the choice of a few font sizes, styles and colours. Below is the AS2 script so far, and the XML.
stop(); var myGalleryXML = new XML(); myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite = true;[code].......
I am parsing colour codes that I get from a Flex(Flash ActionScript) application, then creating HTML div elements with that same colour. My Problem: The colours are all only 8 digits long. So they cant be RGB colour values can they? What color value format are they in? If I can figure the format they are in I can convert them to RGB. Maybe the last/first digit signifies its 0. alpha value?
PS: Should I convert the colours to RGB or something else?
This is an example of the colour code values I getting from the flash application:
I have this code in a function to change the colour of a mc called Tab1. It works fine. But when the mc is tweened it doesn't move. If I don't change it's colour with this function it tweens fine. What have I done wrong?
Is there a way that I could change the background colour using the "ColorPicker" component in flash CS5? I want to be able to change it from within the swf once it is published.
