ActionScript 3.0 :: Automatically Change Color (Hue) Of Button
Jan 4, 2010
I have very limited knowledge of Actionscript but can work my way around Flash CS4 well enough, but I've recently run into some trouble. I have these blue buttons in my flash file which are animated and want to make green. I initially tried to simply change them in Photoshop but I did not make the original file and this did not work. I then looked at how to change color (hue) through actionscript and saw a few methods.
What I am trying to do is to have the button color change to a different color when it is on the page. The color only changes when I roll over it or hit it. Once I am on the page it changes back to the color it is on the up state.
I created a button with some roll over effects added some load movie action to load external movie.swf file, everything works perfect except I need about 12 same buttons but with different loadMovie command I mean to load different swf files. so what I did to make it fast I copied the first button and pasted it 12 times so I made 12 nice buttons, but the problem I have is that when I change button 2 load movie settings it automatically changes every button, so I am a little frustrated,
What I am trying to do is to have the button color change to a different color when it is on the page. The color only changes when I roll over it or hit it.Once I am on the page it changes back to the color it is on the up state.[URL] (When you are on the home page the button is red, but when on the about page the home button changes to white to show hierarchy.)
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.
Help me guys, i have a problem how to change the button's color actually my buttons is the lot # so i can determine that if the clr is Unoccupied, then the color of the specific button will be Green.

and i got this: ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on TestingLangitomen_fla::MainTimeline/chngeBtn(). Expected 2, got 1.
I have an array of buttons that are just text and I would like to change the color effect to a blueish color when clicked/active. I can obviously do this in the property inspector, but I would like to change it programatically. Is there a class I can use to accomplish this?
I have a tooglebuttonbar (with 4 buttons) and I'd like to change the color of only one or two button according particular data.Is someone has experience to do that.I try to do like that

I have 2 instances of a button wich is red and has a white label I have to edit the buttons so one button is red, and the other is green I was doing this, but when applied Also the title of label goes green instead of being white...
I have a button instance called atrium_btn. Currently the button text color is blue, but I want an onRollOver() event to change the button text color to red, but I am having no luck and do not find anything on the internet. In Frame 1 of the main timeline, I tried this with no success:
I have about 10 buttons in my flash game. (just SimpleButtons), and i want to change their colors in runtime.How can I do this? I need to change the color of the button rectangle, and the color of the text in the button. I can do this i think by converting all the parts of the buttons into movieclips and then refrencing those moviecips.tansform.colorTransform, but then i have to make a seperate movieclip for all 3 of the button states (normal, hover over, and click), right?
I am trying to develop a flash site where people can choose from a list of "skins" and when they do, the site color changes. I have a button with the instance name "home". In the "Over" keyframe of this button I have a text box with the instance name of "overText". I can't change the text color
I have used the following code // set the color blue = 0x0000FF; //set object and attibute menuTextStyle = new TextFormat (); menuTextStyle.color = blue; //apply to the text field _root.home.overText.setTextFormat (menuTextStyle);
I have also tried using _root.overText; home.overText at the start of the text field path but these have't worked either.
I'm adding some Buttons (from the UI components) to the stage and I would like to change their background color using AS3.It might sound stupid but I can't find how to achieve this anywhere, even in the flash AS3 documentation.
I have this script for a circular menu (based from the menu by: Justin Windle - Soulwire July 2007 [url]...) that rotates with the active link rotating to the center. I need for the active link to change color so that it is easier to tell which page is active.[code]...
can change the color of the button when clicked, however I want to make sure when you click on a different button, it changes the previous button back to its original color.I know i can do this the ghetto way and list out all the buttons i want with no color each time but if later i have 50 buttons i dont want to list them. So i built a loop but the loop is not working rightThis code is an example of what might be on the first button:
Anybody know how to change the label text color associated with a radio button component in timeline-based AS3? I know in older versions you just said: btnName.color=[rgb color...]
I have a variable named playerColor, and a button called black. I need to get the button to change the player's color to black(change the frame number to 2). The second frame of the movieclip player is the same as frame 1, but it's the color black instead of red(red is the default color which is frame 1). I can't get any results with these codes.[code]
I 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?
What is the easiest way to change the background color of a toggle button when it is selected?I've tried creating a custom skin for the button and applying it to the downSkin property, but I can't figure out how to change the background color from within the skin. Also I'd like to avoid using an image as a background if possible.
I have a button with text and i want the color of the text to change when you click on the bottun on be that way. How can i do this? the textfeild inside the button have a instancename.
