ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Color Of Area With ComboBox?
Sep 2, 2008
I want to change the colors in the geographic areas in a map based on which selection was chosen from a comboBox where the hex color codes to be used are stored someplace (xml file?). For example, if user chooses "1980" in the combo box, Minnesota will be blue, but if user chooses "2004", Minnesota will be red. an example of or tutorial on how to do this? At this point, I don't care if it's with AS2 or AS3. I assume each geographic area would be an object whose color is set after each selection. But rather than start from scratch, I'd love to see an example that's close to what I want.
I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.
i have been doing this tutorial http:[url]..but i am stuck on PART 8, i have done everything the tutorial has said so far (although my image and the colors used are different) but the large blank box at the top of the color pallet isnt changing color when i click on any color from the pallet.
Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.
I have a few movie clips that change color when they are rolled over and rolled out of which is great and works correctly but now I have add glows to those buttons to serve as borders or a stroke and when you roll over the buttons the color and the filter color changes.
So i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK); function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{ background.play(); homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.
I have a button with an icon. I want to have the button in gray so I change the chromeColor but when I do that, the icon became darker.On the left the button without changing the color, on the right, the gray button with and darker icon.How can I have a gray button without changing the icon color?
i need to change the text in a combo box to TLF because i am loading data from an XML and it is a rtl language, how can i either make the original text field invisible and add a tlf or simply replace them? i tried to do it through skinning but i cant find the text field???
I'm a complete newbie to Flash and programming, so please forgive my lack of knowledge! I have been trying for a good couple of hours now to do what I'd think would be a simple task - change scene when the value in a comboBox is changed.This is the code I have:
stop(); dropdown.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changemade); function changemade(event:Event):void {
I'm about as new to flash MX, how to write an action script that will allow me to change text with a button. However, I would like to be able to do it by a combo box. In other words, I would like to make it so that when you change the combo box to a different label, the text field will change to a different outside text file.
I am currently using colorTransform to color a ComboBox:
//_cb is the combo box setColor(_cb, t_uintBgColor); //t_uintBgColor is a hexadecimal, ie. 0xFF0000 setColor(_cb.dropdown, t_uintBgColor, -150);
[Code]....
This works, and the combo box and its drop down get tinted.....EXCEPT when t_uintBgColor is white - 0xFFFFFF. What happens then is the combo box is just its default gray color.
And what is the best solution for coloring the background of a ComboBox?
Is there a way using CSS, to set a mx.controls.ComboBox's background color. This would be the background color of each row when the ComboBox is clicked (expanded). I've tried backgroundColor, fillColors and backgroundGradientColors without success.
My ComboBox is contained within a FormItem. I've also tried setting FormItem's backgroundColor, fillColors and backgroundGradientColors. It's not clear to me where ComboBox obtains or inherits its list cell background color from.
I am trying to find out how to change the text color of the comboBox component from black to white. I have found multiple posted answers online, but none has worked. Here what I have tried:
How to change the font and overall look of a combobox in Flash / ActionScript 3? Are there theme files I could download, or a script I can use? I am relatively familiar with AS3 / Flash, but have never needed to skin a combobox till now.
I am doing a simple combobox example. Now my requirement was, i want to differentiate the combobox values with some colors. I dont know how to do this. can you guys pls help me out on this. Suppose for ex: if my combobox data value exceeds 200 i want to display the items in "red" else i want to display in "green".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Simple example to demonstrate the Halo ComboBox control. --> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
I have tried changing all the styles associated with the combobox (borderColor, etc), and set borderStyle to none (which made the border go away around the dropdown menu) but I can't for the life of me get the border that's around the main part of the combobox to go away or change color. I skinned the button to get it to be red, but I just can't figure out how to change that last detail.
I need a function that iterates i++ style to go from white to black or (even better) white full alpha to white no alpha.I tried messing with 255,255,255 stuff but its not the same as the hex 0xFFFFFF and if i try it i always get blue for the value 255. and 0 for black (in my experiments) also tried [255,255,255,1] (black no matter the value).
