ActionScript Code:
myTextField_txt.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("monotype", 16, 0x0CFF00, true);
This controls the output to the stage of my fetched text. It works great, but I would VERY much like to control this externally as well. The color for example. How would I call this in a flash variable to change the color externally? Is it possible with this code?
I am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.
View 1 RepliesI have an input text field in which the user enters text. This text is displayed in an output textfield. The user should have the option to change the color of a selection, This color should be applied to the selection in both the input and output textfield. After that the user should be able to further edit the text without loosing the fomatting.
But pictures say more than words so...
1. The user selects text and sets the color to yellow
2. The text color is set to yellow just like I want
3. This is the actual issue. When the text (in the input field) is edited all text in the ouput field goes black again That's not what I want, I want the colored text to stay colored when the input is edited.
This is my code:
Code:
txt_Input.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncOutput)
btn_Format.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fncFormat)
var tfmBlack:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I am wondering if it's posible to set the backgroundcolor of the stage through as3 code.i am also wondering if it's possible to set the stage height and stage width through the code. for the application i wish to develop, the values of the stage color and the stage dimensions are provided by an XML file.

While creating one photo gallery I am facing one problem in controlling the Font Color, Font Size and other characteristics of a text loaded into a text field from an XML File.

I need a text box to change height according to an externally loaded number.
ActionScript Code:
homeText = new LoadVars();
homeText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

This should set _root.contentMain.home_txt (the text box) to 400 height right?
Why is it not changing the height to 400?
trace (nmbr); does show 400
We I have a preloader that plays behind my transparent movie clip and I want to change the stage to black
when I go to Full Screen. From what I have found most people use a black box but that won't scale in FS.
So does anybody have another solution for changing the background color with AS.
I want to change by code, in as3 the color of the stage, I write: stage.color = "black" , but gives me error

View 5 RepliesI have two boxes on the stage. These two boxes together are converted to graphic. Each of the box - lets called "A" consist of some kind of surrounding (the line around the box for which we set up[ stroke) which I will cal "B". And inside that box theres another box of different color - I will call it "C", with different surrounding - call it "D".
(It is inside the first one).The other box from that graphic looks the same, but has different names. "E","F","G",and"H" respectively. All of the elements "A","B","C",and "D" forms a button. I have some code to use it.(with event listeners) My question: If I would like to change the colour of the element "B" (which are a movie clip), how will I code it.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var urlLoad:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
[Code] .....
And it tells me: Access of undefined property B...
The code works fine for whole button(A). A changes color, but I would like only the surrounding to change the color. I guess I have to put some path in there, but I am not really sure how to.
After preloader ends, I want my full scren flash site to change it's background color with fade transition.

I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?

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 2 RepliesI just heard something about "Flash Methods". Using Javascript to control the SWF from outside of it. Ever hear of it? What I am trying to do is have the center content of my HTML page reload different textual content when you click on a button in the Nav, but not reload the whole page. The Nav is separate from the SWF content in the center of the page. Is there a way to have it so that when you click on one of the buttons in the Nav that it can tell the swf what fram to go to?

View 1 Repliesthe .FLA files are attached at the bottom. intro.swf is the actual movie and introLoader.swf is the preloader and it loads intro.swf into it.the problem with the actionscript previously was that itd start playing the external movie halfway through the preloader bar as if it was streaming..however i found a workaround that doesnt really work.. i used xyz.stop(); and xyz.play(); functions to control when the external movie plays.The problem with those functions is that i need a check for them i.e if(percentage <100) etc. which causes problems like if the flash movie is already watched once and cached and you reload the page it wont play.

View 2 Replieshow to assign a volume control component available in the video components library to an externally loaded swf once it's loaded into my main flash movie? I want to feature the volume control at the bottom of my main flash so that when you click a button to load the swf that volume control will be able to start controlling it's volume. Also, I want to be able to load several swfs and once each one is loaded--only one playing at any given time--into the main flash that same volume control can control them. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?I'm using CS5.

In my externally loaded swf.s are a pause and play button which work perfectly using only:
on(release){yanm.play();}
(yanm being the name of my movie file containing my movie!!) and obviosuly the stop is with a stop!
Now I want to add a 'Mute' button so that the user can turn off the audio. What script would I use for this?
I also want to use a 'Rewind' or 'Restart' button to return to the beginning of my movie and begin playback again. What script would be used instead of .play?
