Curious if you can change only some text in a TextField rather than all of it..Like simple example:The Ocean has alot of water...And make Ocean blue?

I am trying to create buttons that will replace the text in a text field.The text field is "Staff_Copy".The buttons are "Staff_Saam_btn", "Staff_Nicolas_btn", "Staff_David_btn", and "Staff_Anthony_btn".
//Code in frame 1 of timeline
var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 0;[code]................
This doesn't work.Whatever the initial value of the variable "Staff_Copy_Value" is will determine the text in the field.So if I use the value 0 as in the above, whatever is in the textfield on the stage shows.If I use 1,2,3, or 4 then the text strings in the defined variables shows up.What am I missing.I am assuming it is has to do with the onEnterFrame command.How do I make the movie keep checking the value of "Staff_Copy_Value"?

Say I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?

I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

I want to change the color of many text fields at once. I created an array, then a for each loop where I datatype the var to a TextField. For some reason, Flash reads this variable as a String, so I can't change the text field's color.

Is it possible to change the focusRect color for TextFields that are tab enabled? The project I'm working on doesn't use any flash components and I'd like to be able to modify this color to work within the color pallete provided by the client. I've looked into the InteractiveObject, DisplayObject, and StyleManager classes but nothing jumps out a me as far as being able to modify the base Yellow color.
I would think something like this would work but...
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.tabEnabled = true;
myTextField.focusRect = true;
myTextField.focusRect.color = 0xFFFF00;

change the font of a Textfield at runtime. I know how to embed fonts into an SWF and I know a little bit about the TextFormat() Class, but I can't seem to be able to change fonts when there is text already in a dynamic or input TextField

I have just come up with this idea of passing in strings into a textbox. The problem is having the height automatically adjust depending on how long the string is. So I have set width for my textbox, but I want the height to change if the string is long enough to wrap.

Got a problem with dynamic textfield length. I have a flash movie which is loading text from an external text file. I have drag the dynamic text field and make its width equal to the movie length (say:550pxl) so that it covers the entire stage. I have given motion tween to this dynamic single line text field. So, that whatever the content is there in the external textfile will scroll from left to right. Now for a single line it is ok, but if there are lot of content which would exceed one line length then what to do? So, I need a script so that, the length of the singleline-textfield would be dynamically changed with the textlength, the content of which is being updated from an external file using the LoadVariable syntax. I am using Flash5.

I'm trying to link out to other websites using a simple textfield with the text options - link, and a destination, _blank. It's a large document and I'm adding to it daily. The problem is, when I return to flash, and make changes in other places, the earlier links I had in place change. [URL] explain to me why this is happening and how to prevent it? It's incredibly frustraing, stupid.Here is a link to the project. [URL]

Not really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.

I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

Is it possible to change the text property of a text field that is contained within a sprite? I've been trying but can't come up with the right syntax. Here is what I'm doing:
I've created a sprite named "lessonSprite" and added a text field to it in one function. Now, in another function, I'd like to change the text in the field.
I've tried to use this:
lessonSprite.titleField.text = xmlLsnContent.attribute("title");
where "titleField" is the name of the field added to the sprite "lessonSprite" in an earlier function.

I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin' I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.How can I :1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void{ Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
//I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over
