Is there a way to have Dynamic Text non-selectable and not have a white background? Such as a transparent background?
I'm looking to dynamically change text over a colored background.
I have two backgrounds on different layers, and an object that can be dragged around. What I want to happen is that an area around the object should be transparent so you can see the background behind the first background, and when the object is moved, the transparent area should also move. Kind of like a "see-through" effect.
View 2 RepliesI'm having issues changing a TextInput background color after the initial onLoad using AS2. On load, I have no issues setting the background color with this code:
Code:onClipEvent (load) { this.background = true; this.backgroundColor = 0x1E1C1C;}
However, I have a form validator run when focus is lost but yet I cannot set the background color at that point. For example, I'm trying to set the background color to orange and text to white if the field's contents are invalid. Even something simple like this doesn't affect the colors.
It seems like there are various hacks out there to change the background colour of the row of a datagrid but all of them seem to happen at render time.See: http:[url]....I have a datagrid where I need to change row colours to red then back to normal frequently based on changes to the bound ArrayCollection. So I'm looking for a way to change the row colours dynamically.Obviously as the changes are happening frequently it would be nice if changing the background colour of the row wasn't an expensive process.

View 5 RepliesI created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
I am looking for a way to change the background color in a text field, except not change the background color of the whole textfield, just the color behind the characters.

View 8 RepliesI'd like to be able to click on each of the buttons and have the background color change and also have its color name loaded in the dynamic text field. E.g. Clicking the white square would change the background color to white and should also display the text ''white'' in the dynamic text box. I've sorted out the colour changing part with the following code:

I am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.
View 7 RepliesI'm having a text box on my stage and I want to change the text dynamically from the actions.What I did was:
1. Create a text box a put it on stage
2. convert it to symbol. It is an instance of volPercent and the name is volPercent_
3. I put this code on the actions for that frame
volPercent_.text = "[100%]";
The error I get is 1120: Access of undefined property volPercent.
I've got a file that contains narration. The content appears progressively on the stage as narration plays.
On the first frame I added a dynamic textfield, which I called : soustitrage_txt (would be "caption_txt" in English).
On another layer, on the same frame I added this code :
soustitrage_txt.html = true;soustitrage_txt.autoSize = "left";soustitrage_txt.selectable = true;soustitrage_txt.multiline = true;soustitrage_txt.wordWrap = true;

I have a dynamic text box on the stage with an instance name of caption. Is there are way to change the alignment dynamically? When the text is under 100 bytes, I want to center the text, if it is more than 100 bytes, I want to left align the text. Is there any way to do this?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a for loop, that looks at the number ofcharacters in the symbol, take the current character and raise its size by 2pt, and the previous and next characters by 1 point? And as it continuess to put the original size of each character back?I'd only started working on this, but (a) I'm new to ActionScript, and (b) it may not be possible to create such a routine.I started with this before posting:

I'm working on an interface with an option to enter html code, and then click a button to render what's in the text box as html, and if needed convert it back to plain text to edit the html code again.I know you can change whether text boxes render their contents as html using text.html = true/false but it doesn't do it if the text box contains anything and setting the contents to "" before changing it doesn't seem to work either. Does this make any sense? If so does anyone know how I can do it?

View 1 RepliesI recently learned about scrollRect. Can anyone tell me how efficient it is? by this i mean i have a huge background_mc and use a stage sized rectangle as the scrollRect to scan the insides of that movie Clip. (like a vcam i guess). Since it only renders the rectangle area , is it safe to say it doesn't matter how large "background_mc" is ? or is it better to dynamically add portions to the background when its just outside the stage.

View 7 RepliesI'm attempting a neat little effect where I've got a fellow walking (already drawn and animated) and I'm using him as a mask over the top of a simple colored rectangle - the idea being, by changing the color of the rectangle, I can have a walking man with color effects happening. At this stage the square is just green, because the mask is not quite working correctly. The edges of the animated mask glitch up and don't work as expected
