View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 3 RepliesIf 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.
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 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 am currently working on a website project that is mostly intended for Dyslexia disability users. I'm love flash but I can never get around the advance coding, therefore I have struggled to make any effective contribution to my work.
At the moment I am trying to change the text/font color using a button similarly to the Background color, but I really can't get my head around it.
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?
Is it possible to change the value of a dynamic text box inside a button's up/over states? For example, I have a button in my library which has a dynamic text field in both the up and over states. My AS loads XML data and adds the correct number of buttons while filling in the text boxes from the XML data. It seems like this should be possible, but so far I haven't made any progress.
View 3 RepliesI'm starting with AS3, i have a problem. I have a button, and inside the button i have a dynamic text field. The button is inside of a movieclip, the instance name of it is News, the instance name of the button is collegamento and the instance name of the dynamic text is Testo.

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 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.

View 5 RepliesI 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?
