I have a list of 98 countries. I have a world map that I have animated by storing all the movieClip names in an array. Below the world map I have the country names listed out in a few text boxes. I know I can turn these names into movieClips and then change their color that way. But I was wondering if there was a way for ActionScript 3 to "read" my paragraph and find the text name then change its color?
View 12 RepliesI�m working on a LMS course, and since this material contain a lot of explanations and examples and etc, I�m using a lot of paragraph text with explanations.My intention is to inside those paragraph text, animate some word�s with setTimeout, so when the sound is narrating that word it zoom in the specific word. What I�m using latelly and is give�n a lot of work.Creating a function that apply the zoom function effect to the word that I have to break out of the paragraph text and converted to a movieclip, this is the simple function:
ActionScript Code:
function contabilidade_1()
{
zoomColor(topico_3.contabilidade_1);
}
And later create the setTimeout to show, in the specific time:
ActionScript Code:
var pausa_1:Number = setTimeout(contabilidade_1, 4000);
I am trying to locate the letter at a certain number of characters after a word.For instance, in this sentence:"Hello, I really like dogs"I want to find the character of position 7 after the word "really", which in the above sentence would be the letter "d"

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to change a context menu that already has been personalized. I have an small application that I purchased to learn with and also to save some time. When I right click the context menu appears with the other person's information in it. I want to change that information if it is possible to do so. I tried
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
contextMenu = my_menu;
and added my info but the menu will not change from the person I got the app from. Is this considered unethical or illegal? I put so much work into this, I don't want the person to get credit for it.
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.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to change the color of a textBox via xml but i'm stuck with this code:
ActionScript Code:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData=new XML(e.target.data);
var titleColor:Color=xmlData.appTitle.titleColor.text();
sTitle.textColor = titleColor.toString();
}
What I am trying to do is to have the button color change to a different color when it is on the page. The color only changes when I roll over it or hit it. Once I am on the page it changes back to the color it is on the up state.
View 1 RepliesHow is it done? All I've seen on the web is how to change the color. Well how about going back. I'm talking about a MC with many colors. I can't just change back to a single hexadecimal color.
I can accomplish the change as it passes over a frame, but I can't get it to change back.
In the frame is this:
Code:
cHurtColor = new Color(_root.compMC);
cHurtColor.setRGB(0x00FF33);
How to change the image or a mc color to black and white color?

View 6 RepliesIn Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
how the string.match method is and if so

View 2 Repliesgrab colors using the 'draw' function of a BitmapData object. But these are somewhat limiting, I'm trying to implement an eyedropper-type utility and need to be able to know what color the user is seeing at a certain pixel.
I've tried using draw() on the stage, but that doesn't include anything that's a child of the stage. Next, it occurred to me that I could just look at the children of the stage to find the foremost one that's under the mouse, and draw() that, but then we suddenly get into a possibly time consuming recursive search. The simplest/fastest/best way to find what color is being displayed under the mouse in Actionscript 3.
In another scripting language I have used for other purposes (AutoIt Script) there was a function called pixelSearch where you could find pixel locations based on a color. What I would like to do is develop a SWF that "reads" the colors of an image and applies a sparkle effect to the areas that are deemed bright enough (close enough to #ffffff). Ultimately, it would be really cool if I could make it figure out how large the bright area was to make a larger sparkle effect (increase size of sparkle MC) or that if it was too bright, it would assume it was background and not use the effect in that location.
This effect would be used to load various thumbnails from a database and render them in the browser, each with the same SWF but different image parameters, to make the images sparkle appropriately.

I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
