ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Using "ColorPicker" Component To Change Background Colour?
Jan 5, 2011
Is there a way that I could change the background colour using the "ColorPicker" component in flash CS5? I want to be able to change it from within the swf once it is published.
how to change the background colour of a flash slide-show. I am trying to post a slide-show on a website, but some of the pictures do not fit the box well and, as a result, there are black bars surround them. Is there a way that I can change the background colour so that it blends with the background colour of the website?
There are a few posts around this topic but not on exactly what I'm trying to do. At various points in my flash app I want to try to affect a change in the containing html. basically I want to be able to change the background colour of a div. I understand i will probably have to use external interface to call a javascript function, but I'm strugging to get the js right, I'm imagining something like this[code]...
I finaly got the code I needed to change the colour of my background but it clearly needs altering. At the moment it works but I have to click the button twice for the colour to change. Now for once I see that this makes sense because I have onRelease twice!
This code is on the button:
on (release) { home_btn.onRelease = function() { var myColor:Color = new Color (this._root.background1); myColor.setRGB(0xFF8844);}
However i'm unsure how to alter the code correctly....I assume the second onRelease needs to change to something else? I tried just: home_btn = function() { but am really just guessing.
I got this code from Kax. This allows me to change colour of my background. This use to work on my movie but now is just not working anymore!Since i created a button loading a .swf file this has stopped working, Any suggestions anyone?[code]I understand that I have to replace "myMovieClip" with the name of my clip!

If you look closely you'll see that I've changed the default value for the bgFill color. However, when I run my application, the background color for the dropdownlist is still the default white.
I've created a banner ad (attached) for my company and intended to have it appear as a rectangle with rounded edges (transparent corners). It seems like I need to create a transparent border or mask to have my animated banner appear in this way.
Can I add a mask or a border to the whole thing just to make the rounded corners transparent and see the background colour of the site I'm putting it on?
Note: the corners are currently white. I can't change the colour to match the site background as 1. the banner will be shown in different places, and 2. the background is a gradient.
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.
I'm trying to create a flash website where when you click on one page the background becomes darker and as you're about to click on another page the background becomes lighter again but if you want to go back to the previous page the background goes back to being darker. I hope this is clear. I've been trying to find a tutorial on this but I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terms, which is why I'm having no luck.
I'm trying to change the background color of a TextArea Component.Does anyone know how to do this?
function processXML(e:Event):void { var strTextBox:String; myText.visible=true; myText.setStyle("contentBackgroundColor", 0x000000); //Does not work..nor does myText.setStyle("backgroundColor",0x000000); myXML = new XML(e.target.data); strTextBox = "<a href='" + myXML.Branch[0].linkURL + "'> More Info...</a>"; myText.htmlText=strTextBox;}
I need to change all the elements in my movie that have the color X and change their color to color Y. Is it possible to have this in AS? like, if i press one button all the elements that have the color black (graphic, text, background, etc) change their color to yellow?
I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
I am trying to set selectedColor of the colorPicker component to the color of a TextFormat. colorPicker.selectedColor is of type uint and TextFormat.color of type object. I looked around and found this function:
Code:
function fixColorCode( color:Object, hasAlpha:Boolean = false ):uint { if( color is String ){ var pattern:RegExp = /#/;
[code]....
The last line returns the following error: "1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Number."
Basically I've created a print class which has all the print job code in to print a sprite, however when I print it, the sprite which I've created acts like a mask and the area where the sprite graphic should be is filled with my background colour.When I scale the image to the width and height of the print width and height, obviously I've got a page full of purple.here's my code:
public function print():void { //bitmap_to_print.smoothing = true; var print_page:Sprite = new Sprite();
Anyway for some reason when i test scene the box comes up showing my flash fine but when i go and locate the .SWF in the folder that all my flash fla and swfs are then for some reason its only a graphic clip and movieclip animation that displays and the rest of the background is the background colour. I checked this by first changing it to black and preview. To which the background changed black and then did the same and changed the background colour to blue and the same thing happened, the background in the swf changed to blue aswell. I have no actionscript in the scene and the majority of the things are just art besides a graphic clip the movie clip animation.
I am having two panels with separate colorpickers in them. If i select a particular color in the colorpicker, then the border of that panel should change to that color. I am able to do this perfectly but, since i have written the same code for both colorpickers, when i select the other colorpicker the previous panel color is coming to the normal color i.e. default panel color.
If i want the panels to retain the color even after selecting the other colorpicker what should i do... I am using event.CHANGE on colorpicker and setting the style of borderColor for the panel.
what i'm trying to do is to change the color of the body of my fish.png to a colorpicker selectedColor.but then i'm encountering problem with the floodfill method...Whenever I pick a color, it would change the body to transparent.and there seems to be little information, hence my posting here.. fishfishfish is the linkage of fish.png in library.
I'm trying to work out how to change text colour in Flash 4, but nothing I've tried will do it.What I have is some text that the user edits, then a button for the colour. When they hit the button, the text changes colour.I've tried changing the alpha levels and visibility levels of the text boxes, putting masks over the boxes that move into place when the right button is pressed, and a bunch of different approaches.
Is there anyway to change the colour of items showing in the dropdown list? By default, it's showing skyblue and I need to change it into grey? I'm using Flash CS4 IDE and AS3.
I'm building an activity for young kids where they click on a colour in a palette (mouse cursor will be a paint brush) then click on various shapes that I'll layer to create a picture.
depending on the colour they select they should be able to fill the shapes with that colour. Change colors half way through change their mind etc.
I made a website a year back or so and I'm having to update it now. However I've noticed the flash menu I have on the site doesn't seem to appear correctly anymore when I check in on a PC using IE.
Basically in the bottom left hand corner the swf background colour should appear grey (#333333) not white. Seems to work fine on Safari and Firefox.
This is probably easy, but I'm an AS3 noob and google is returning every result under the sun apart from the ones I want. Is there a way to set the background colour of a flash movie according to a value pulled from an XML file?I already have the background colour property set as BGCOLOUR within my XML file, and I've used the code in line six to pull that value through (I think)...
ActionScript Code: function processXML(e:Event):void { var my_xml:XML=new XML(e.target.data); my_speed=my_xml.@SPEED; my_images=my_xml.IMAGE;
[code].....
Since adding the sixth line of code in the section above, it's broken the project, so I've had to remove that line.
