ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Changing A Button's Color Via A Mouse Click?
Jun 8, 2011
I'm trying to learn a simple way to code a button's color to change when you click on the button itself. I got the button's alpha to work by doing the following: Create a text field with the word "Preflight" and convert it to a button. Drag the button onto the stage and give it an instance name of "Preflight1". On the first frame of the timeline, insert the following code:
Now when you test the movie, anytime you click the button "Preflight" the button's alpha drops (dims) by 10%. Works perfect and easy. Now, how can I do this exact same thing with the button's color? When you click the button, its color changes to some new color? I've tried colorTransform, but no luck.
I want to do as follows: * click a "red" button write in textarea with red color font click "blue" button * write in textarea with blue color font Isn't this possible in flash 10 using AS3 I tried using setTextFormat but the problem is i have to have text before inserting format on that.
I LOVE this actionscript, it will be so useful to me. [URL] However I one question; Is there anyway to have a pattern(image) show with the mouse over rather than a color?
I have two flash pages, one black and one green, and I need the html background color to change accordingly. What I think I need to do is code the button to change the b/g color.
I've been following this tutorial so far: [URL]
but for some reason it's not working.
It might be a securities issue, it opens up the page asking me if I want to run the JS. When I click 'yes' it opens up the page but the background color is the same. So while it opens the page it might not be running the script?
or, I'm not putting the JS in the right area of the html code. Right now I'm putting it after the first <head>.
Is java script my only option? a friend mentioned using css, but I have nothing to go off of as to how to make that work.

I am using a flash swf from the website[url]...where it allows me to upload images via an xml file to the flash movie. However the flash movie is changing the mouse cursor to hand-cursor when passing the mouse on it, and also it is allowing users to click on the movie, while I wanted to leave the mouse cursor to remain as an arrow, and prevent users from clicking on it, I tried the following code, whereby I used another flash movie to call the dewslider swf, but in IE it is not working, although in firefox it is ok..[code]...
i'm trying to make something that will change a section on an image to other colors (or possibly another picture) when clicked. Something similar to this would work [URL] But, when you click on the colors, instead of the colors just filling in the wheel, i'd like it to change it to a picture, of lets just say in this example, another rim...a picture of a different actual rim instead of just a color fill.
Then, I'd like the option to have another section that will do the same, but for another location on the car. So, for example, there's a section for the rim colors like the link has. And, there is also another section with more images that can be clicked to change the headlights....then one for the background, etc...
I'm looking to change the color of text in a movieclip when the user clicks it(IE it'll turn red for wrong, and green for correct). I've set it up so it can do other things, like gotoAndPlay, I just can't get it to change color. Here's what I've got so far for AS. The movieclip on the stage with the text in it is called q1, for question 1.
Code: stop(); q1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, navPress); function navPress(event:MouseEvent):void{

I have 30 buttons called thumb01 to thumb30. I have created this functions so when hover over and hover out of the one of the buttons it changes colour. I would like to use this for all my 30 buttons, but I dont want ot write the same code 30 times. Is there a way to for example to use wildcards so I can write thumbxx and address all the buttons.
var col:Color = new Color(); col.setTint(0xFFFFFF, 0.5); set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver); function hooverOver(event:MouseEvent):void { set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform = col; } set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,hoverOut); function hooverOut(event:MouseEvent):void { set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform= new ColorTransform() }
I have a file that has a thumbnail scroller(which is run with a xml file) and a slideshow that when loads has a bunch of images on the scroller and when clicked, opens bigger in the slide show.
what I want to be able to do, is when other buttons outside the scroller are clicked, it loads a new xml file, but I am not sure how to go about doing that.
I have attached my fla file and .as file so you can see what I am working with.
I have a movieclip on my stage, within this movieclip there are two frames, frame 1 shows a sun, frame 2 shows a moon. The way i determine which is shown at the moment is by using the getTime function. Quite nifty as it displays the sun in the day and the moon at the night.However i wish to demo this to my client (without sitting there at midnight to witness the change ).So i want to be able to quickly show them what it does, just by clicking the moon, but this isn't working, im guessing the getTime if statement is overriding my measly mouseClick authority.
I have followed Ned's code from another post, whereby if a text button is clicked, the color will change. The code is like
var clicked:Boolean = false; var clicked2:Boolean = false; btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1click);
[Code]....
Now if I click on the first button, it changes color and stays like that, which is perfect. If I click on btn2, this changes color and stays like it. The problem is that if btn2 is pressed, it should change color and stay like it (as it is doing), but btn1 should return back to its normal color (black).
I have been playing about with the "Changing colors with Actionscript" FLA found on this site. Basically, when you move your mouse over a coloured box the movie clip changes to the corresponding color. This is the AS
I have a 4 frame game that moves from frame to frame depending on what the player does.On the first frame, I have an intro and a button to get to the main portion of the game, frame 2. The frame loads up and the game code runs, but until the player clicks again on the stage, the keyboard controls do not function.The code for the button is straight forward. I have a button object and the following code in the frame:
playGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); function goodLuck(evt:MouseEvent): void { gotoAndPlay(2); removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); }
I have this website I am developing. It has multiple pages that I would like to connect to each through a flash horizontal menu navigation. Here is a link to the site for your consideration. WebsiteI am trying to make it so that a mouse click is dispatched on the appropriate flash button when the page starts up so that the highlight menu tab will appear over the correct button.Here is the actionscript for the flash:
Code: import caurina.transitions.*; var button:MButton;
I have a map of the US. Each U.S. state is a simple button.I'd like to change the button fill color (and potentially, theoutline color) in AS3. I've created the buttons in Flash,not inS3 (just graphically). How do I change the button fill color?Sample code:
function addButtonListeners(btnInstance:SimpleButton) { btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, handleRollover);
I am changing a color of a button when clicked. How every i have ten buttons. Each instance name is like this Person1. Person2 etc.I can change the color of the button when clicked, however I want to make sure when you click on a different button, it changes the previous button back to its original color.I know i can do this the ghetto way and list out all the buttons i want with no color each time but if later i have 50 buttons i dont want to list them. So i built a loop but the loop is not working right. Can someone help?
This code is an example of what might be on the first button:
Code: on(release){ for(i = 0; i<11; i++){ var tmpPerson = new Color("Person"+i);
If I have say 7 buttons, each containing text that changes color on rollover using the "Up" "Over" and "Down" keyframes in the buttons' timeline. Is there a simple way to get the button's text to change color when clicked, stay that way, and then change back to the original color once one of the other 6 buttons are clicked?
The only thing I can come up with is writing pages of code for each button that changes the color of every other button regardless of whether it was active.
I changed the mouse cursor using a tutoral from this forum, but when I press the right mouse button,the standard mouse cursor reapears.How to prevent that?
How do you change the stroke color of a simple button? I have 50 simple buttons representing the 50 U.S. states. When I change the fill color with the following algorithm, I also eradicate the outline (stroke) color. How do I code in a stroke color?
I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.
I know a few things...draging stuff...play buttons...the basics...But I need to know how to make a button be able to change the color and text style in an input textbox...I've tried various things, but I always got 2+ errors...it's annoying.
I have a list of buttons, en what I'm trying to do is when you click on a button, it changes color.
The color of the text of the original button is blue. On top is a movieClip with the same text but in black. So when you click a button I want to change the _alpha property from the black movieclip to 0. Meanwhile the _alpha of the rest of the buttons must be set back to 100; so if a button is already blue, it becomes black again.
Here's my code: the maximum value of the list of buttons is saved in 'max_array'
function anim(mc_huidig) {// function anim starts when you click 'mc_huidig' for (i=0; i<max_array+1; i++) { mc = eval("newsitem"+i);

When I use the trace on 'deactief', it does the trace but the trace keep going on, it never stops. It seems to me that "clearInterval(fadeout);" doesn't happen.
I have created a button with an instance name of 'ClickMe' and also five buttons each with thier own instance name (B1-B5). I want to change their opacity to zero onclick preferably as a tween from where they are now in opacity (100%) to the zero. I need some assistance with this. I know it involves importing classes and creating a function. I also believe I can control the set of 5 buttons with iteration.
I have a slideshow with keys that when clicked, direct the viewer to a certain image in a slideshow. I did this using some as3 directing flash to go to certain frames with specific labels tied to specific 'keys' or little navigation buttons.
Often I see slideshows where once the little navigation button that represents a certain slide in a show is clicked, it changes color. Not just when it is clicked, but when it is currently on the specified image. When another button is clicked, and when that image in the slideshow is no longer 'current', the color of the button (or mc if that's what it needs to be) changes back to the normal color. Currently, I have the button's over and down states as one color, and the up and hit states as another color. What do I need to do to ensure that when the button is clicked, and it's corresponding image is the 'current' image shown on screen, that the button changes to a different color to distinguish it from the rest of the nav buttons?
I am trying to figure out how I can have my buttons keep a color after it has been clicked or pressed.This is important since I need to make the viewer understand what answer was correct.I have set the down state but I need my button to keep that down state color.
