I'm having trouble setting the color of the text of a TextInput component. I know there is a TextField within it, I'm trying several methods, but none works:

I'm trying to convert an MXML component to an ActionScript Class. The component consists of a Form with a TextInput, TextArea, and two buttons - Save and Cancel, and a Validator for the TextInput, and other logic to handle events that occur. This component is currently extended by several other components. Now, in the MXML component binding the TextInput text property to a property in an Object was very easy:
<mx:TextInput text="{_itemToEdit.name}" />
But in ActionScript, I'm creating the TextInput and setting the text property before the Object is set, and the TextInput is not being updated:
public var itemToEdit:Object = {};
private var nameInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
public function MyClass() {
nameInput.text = itemToEdit.name;
}
How can I make sure that the TextInput text property is bound to the specified property in the Object?
How can I color words in spark:TextInput with two or more colors? I did it with mx:TextInput with htmlText property but i can not find it in spark component.

Dear Friends. Please tell me how to set a text in a TextInput which is placed inside Movieclip. when ever i set a text its not display on it. I have a MoveClip which contain a TextInput Component. this TextInput have name "letter". when the Application runs it dynamical add the MovieClip like [AS2] Code this.timeline.attachMovie("Key_MC2","key"+1,1); after adding the movieClip i tried to set a Text [AS2] Code this.timeline["key"+1].letter.text = "Some Text"; So nothing is displayed on TextInput.
View 1 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is rather simple, but I am having problems. All I want to do is pass the values entered into a TextInput component into a Dynamic Text Field I need this to be realtime, so when the user is entering the values it is updating in the text fields. I have 5 TextInput instances and 5 Dynamic Text Fields on the stage The TextInput values need to be passed to the Dynamic Text Boxes.
View 3 RepliesThe update to the Dynamic Text Box is always one character behind what is entered into the TextInput component. For instance my name is Shawn, if I enter "Shawn" into the Text Input the Dynamic Text Boxes will display "Shaw". It will only enter the "n" if I type another character then backspace it, deleting the extra character.
View 7 RepliesI have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

I have an issue with applying backgroundColor to a TextInput component in Flash. I have a MoveClip called LastLayer; in that Layer i designed the TextInput by using components.Now I want to add the background color for the TexInput. How can i add the background color? txtUser is the instance name for my TextInput component. I tried this code, but it does not work:
txtUser.setStyle("backgroundColor", "#000000"));
I have a Flex Tree component in my app. I set the icons for open and close.
BUT I can't find something about changing the default background-color from white to something different.
obviously there is no background-color setable in css...
I'm currently working on a project that involves adding text fields dynamically, and I realized I need to change the color of the highlight when the text is selected
View 2 RepliesI have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.
giving text color to the text component box on run time.
I tried with
textfieldname.setStyle("color",0xFF0000);
but no effect.
I've already tried a lot, but there was no way I could change the color of my textInput. Adobe Livedocs couldn't help me and there was no working piece of code I could find in other messageboards.
These things haven't work for me:
myTextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFFF00);
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", Number(0xFFF00));
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", "#FFF00");
Do I have to do something about the border of the textInput. Or about the "background"-Property (if it still exists for AS3)??
Previously in AS2, to set the style for a List Component when the mouse was over an item you would simple set it with
Code:
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x000000);
I've been trying to find info on how the heck you do this in AS3, cause the above dont work.i've been playing with the following code, but it does not have a rollOver property
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x00FF00;
tf.font = "Andale Mono";
tf.size = 14;
PS, normally when a programing language is changed, is is done at an easing speed, but AHHH! NO!!! not with AS3, it has changed 101%

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to have a popup window with an immediately editable TextInput. This means that the user should be able to type inside the TextInput once the popup is displayed.
The problem is that I can't focus on the textInput. What happens is that when pressing a key for the first time, no text is inserted, only after a second key is pressed does the component gain focus and the user is able to type. For instance, typing "test" once the popup opened results in "est" being displayed...
For some reason the component only gains focus when the user explicitly clicks on it or types something. Programmaticaly setting the focus does not work.

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:
Code:onClipEvent (load) { this.background = true; this.backgroundColor = 0x1E1C1C;}
However, I have a form validator run when focus is lost but yet I cannot set the background color at that point. For example, I'm trying to set the background color to orange and text to white if the field's contents are invalid. Even something simple like this doesn't affect the colors.
I've got a simple function to change the colour of a textInput component box - problem is it doesn't work. I can't see why not - surely this should be really simple, I can't understand why it is so hard?[code]...
Is it even possible to change the color of the font in textInput components?
