I am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?

How can I change the select ("highlight") color of an TextField in actionscript 3? I've got an input textfield with white text on a black backdrop and as a result, selections are invisible, which is horrible for usability.
View 2 RepliesI have this code that should change the color of a dynamic textfield when I rollover the link movieclip, and then back when I rollout. I get no compiler error, it just doesn't work.
function textColor(mc_function:MovieClip, tf_text:TextField) {
mc_function.onRollOver = function() {
tf_text.textColor = 0x7cb0b7;

I have a variable called AICC_Student_ID, which is talking to an LMS to pull in a student's unique ID (usually the same as their NTID). I need to take that JS variable value, and slap it into a String for treatment.I looked at the work it would take to use SWFObject, and since this little swf is going onto literally thousands of pages, manually hacking each and every one is just not worth it.
View 1 RepliesI've checked textField's class properties, but couldn't find a property to change COLOR OF SELECTED TeXT, so that when i select txt inside textField which has for ex. black background, and white text color, color of the text selected will be for ex. GREY default is i think BLACK selection color.
View 2 RepliesI have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
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 3 RepliesI have a large block of code in frame one of a movie. It executes, then the movie progresses to frame 2 and stops.I then have buttons at frame 2 that change the value in a string variable and send the movie back to frame 1 where it executes the code with the new value and proceeds to stop in frame 2 again.How can I eliminate this use of frame 2?How do I set it up so that I just re-run the code when the variable changes?I assume I can put all my code inside a function that gets called when the variable changes.
View 2 RepliesI have a navigation bar movieclip that has the following EventListeners in symbol definition:
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"newsawards");
categoryName = "news"; <<<DOESNT WORK}
clients_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler2);function clickHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"clients");}

My question is, how can i cause any of these events to change a string variable in the main timeline? For instance, i would like the news_btn when clicked to change already defined variable located in the main timeline. Also, is there a more elegant way to code the above, i'm new to AS3?
It seems that this is quite easy to do but ... I can't get it.

I would like to make a dynamic button on a website I am working on. I would like one button to update a variable, and another set of buttons to add 1 or subtract one from the variable I have buttons on the left side of the page for some bands that load conent into an empty movie clip.
The website: [URL]
I would like to set up some forward and backward arrows above that content on the right, so users can also scroll through the content in order. So if someone loads the content for soul asylum, and click the back arrow, it goes back to the Wailers, and if they click the forward arrow, it goes to Swollen Members. So there is an order of pages: 1. Wailers, 2. Soul Asylum, 3. Swollen Members, 4. Passafire, 5. Beats Antique, 6. SFM Kind of an order of importance. The idea is if somebody starts by clicking #3 Swollen Members, my application will know that it is on #3 and the arrows will go to #2 or #4.
Is there a way for the main artist buttons on the left to reset a variable for the current slide? So if someone clicks on the Swollen Members picture button, a variable called currentselection equals 3 And then when the forward arrow is clicked, it will ad 1 to the current selection and load movie #4
So in VB the main Swollen Members button would be something like: im currentselection as int = 3 Which would reset the current page as 3
Then the forward arrow would have code like:
Dim Nextselection as Int
Nextselection = & currentselection +1 & ".swf"
And the button in flash would be something like:
on (release) {
loadMovie("Nextselection", "rightcontent_MC")}
Which would load 4.swf the slide for passafire.
So how would I do this in action script 2.0?
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 RepliesI 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'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.

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();
}
How 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?
