ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Font Color On Component?
Nov 8, 2009
I can't seem to figure out how to change the color of a font or the font iteself on the button component. I'm sure it's a simple procedure. Everything seems to point you to changing the colors of the button itself, but not the font.
i'm trying to create a unordered list in Flex. My issue is that within each line, i want the word NEW to be a different font color and different font size from the rest of the label text. I am unsure of how to do this INLINE within the label component.
<s:VGroup fontSize="15" color="#ffffff"> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Invite your friends!" /> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Features coming soon!" /> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Invite your friends!" /> </s:VGroup>
When i change the font size and font color i get the result i want.But when i try to change the font-family, or to make a part of text in italics or bold i fail to get what i want.I also tried this:
<font style="font-style:italic">my text</font>with no success
I have a list component in my flash movie, and I managed to change the look of it by going into it and physically changing the assets, but I don't know how to change the font size/color/family.I've seen lots of documentation, but nothing complete, and definitely nothing that I can paste into my document.
I have a flash xml gallery in AS3. For the life of me I can not figure out how to change the font color. Its very complex and, I have know idea where to look. It dosn't seem to be driven from the xml, and I can only see very limited color # in the AS. only want to change text color.
Is there a quick and easy way to change the font/color of a component like the TextInput or Checkbox? I'm able to change the TextField with a TextFormat, but seem to run into a square peg and round hole with the other components.
[Code]....
Can I plug this into a Checkbox to change the label or TextInput to change the text?
I know that you can format text in XML through CDATA and htmlText option in flash.. my question is if one can format the content of an attribute in the same way.. i.e:If I have the following line in my XML file:
<main Name="Hello World" Link="home.swf"/>
is it possible to format the "Hello World" text? Can I for example put the CDATA option in the content of the "Name" -tag like so:
var requestObj: URLRequest = new URLRequest("jukebox.swf");var loaderObj: Loader = new Loader();addChild(loaderObj);loaderObj.load(requestObj); thumbnails_tl.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, thumbnailClicked); function thumbnailClicked(event:Event):void { mineral_ta.text = event.target.selectedItem.data;} thumbnails_tl.addItem({label:"Akeboshi", source:"thumbnails/Akeboshi.jpg",data:"Yellow Moon

Then I click on the Arrow tool and double click on text in Text box 1 to select it. Then try to change the font color from the font menu icon. It does not work. But after selecting the text in text box 1 and trying to change the font size from the menu seems to work fine.
