ActionScript 3.0 :: Excluding A Specific Value From An Array And Changing The Background Color
Nov 4, 2009
So, 8 weeks ago I started with my GameDevelopment branch of the MediaTechnology tree at my school, and I am currently in my 1st week of the 2d Semester (or Period, as we call it here), and AS3 is introduced this time (last Period were GameMaker and XNA). There's a problem though.. I have to work with Arrays now, and last time I worked with Arrays was during PHP last year; almost half a year ago >_<"
Here's what we have to do for the 1st Assignment: Make a sort of lottery system for Christmass; Make sure names aren't drawn more than once, and that someone can't draw him/herself.
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 am trying to learn AS. I have C and C# experience. I have been left with a previous fla/swf/as project. This has 3 images that in a banner website banner rotate. Problem is they have a black background. I would need white or transparent. The page is hereNot allowed to show you the link ?
Any way to change the specific character's colour within a string in a dynamic textfield. E.g. String = "There can be only one" I want all the o's to be orange...
I am trying to change the background color in a flash 8 .exe file that seems to extract setup variables via an xml file. The xml file reads as follows:
I'm actually not an AS nor flex coder, but i'm using Flowplayer and some plugin written in Flex/AS3.i figured its more relevent to AS forum then Flex since the actuall code is in AS3.the plugin called: audiovisual - its a sound visualisation written in AS3:

I just want to change the background color of my movie.Is there a way to do this with Actionscript, or should I just create a 'fill' the size of the stage, and do it that way?
I made a movieclip that has 3 plain color thumbnails and 1 image thumbnail pop up when my "change theme" button is clicked. I can't figure out how to go about changing the background color/image when the appropriate thumbnail is clicked. I know I need to set up an addeventlistener, but I don't know where to go from there. Maybe I need to have Flash load a new CSS file for every thumbnail clicked?
I have just started working in flash and I am having some trouble with a Flash XML Slideshow that I had purchased from "Flash Den". My problem is that I would like to add an element in the XML file to change the background color everytime the slideshow changes to a new slide. I have downloaded the xml gallery from this forum and it works great but on my home page, I would like the same function but only without the thumbnails because my client would like the slideshow to be on the home page but without any thumbnails. She would also like the background color to change as the slideshow changes.
I'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:
I would like to have flash www page with dimentions 960x653 pixels. There will be 5 scenes navigated by buttons and each of the scene will have different background color. I would like to have fullscreen background also (filling the rest of the space), and to make it I used "Auto-Resizing and Centering Content", based on tutorial:

To make it working with my existing animation I made 960x653 UILoader instead the centerRectangle, and I loaded my swf animation there. Fullscreen background is working - when I scale window of the viewer the main scene keeps its dimentions and background fills the rest of the space, what is what I wanted to. My included animation is working perfectly.
But I still have one issue to solve. How to change my fullscreen background while switching scenes? Is it possible to change it from included swf animation?
I am trying to change the background color of a textInput field. I have tried: ActionScript Code: var textInputFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); textInputFormat.color = 0xFF0000; _textInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", textInputFormat); However this doesn't want to work.
I'm creating a photo gallery from xml with a changing background color and description which i've gotten to work fine, however, the border that goes around my image and the image itself are supposed to be centered on stage and they aren't even though i set their x and y to the center of the stage the line after
I am trying to find a stand alone flash player/controller to play flash movies on my own computer (windows xp) ideally it would have the usual back stop forward controllers etc and I would if possible be able to change the veiw pane background colour.
I'm looking for an efficient way to filter a specific color from a bitmapData object in ActionScript 3. Currently I use a loop with readByte32(). This takes about a second to process which is unacceptable. I have been trying to get paletteMap() to work but so far haven't been able to grasp its API (any truly useful links? Google has failed me...). Here's my current logic, which I want to improve:
Is it possible to change the way a array element displays in a dynamic text field. example this is the code i was given for flash AS2 lash 8
[Code]...
What I would like is to make the first two items off the array "Gen 1 Fail" and "Warning level 2" red text and warning three and four amber text and "end of list " white is this possible? I have looked at the string class but there does not seem to be a color property and text format seems to change the whole text field.
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 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.

Is it possible to change the background color of AS3 Color Picker component using AS3? It is always black behind the swatches and I would prefer it be white but even after alternating the skins in the library it always appears black.For example, I would like the swatch to initially be a circle which I have done and have it open to a grid of circular swatches.
