View 6 RepliesI have a function that changes the background colour of a text field:
Code:
function changeColour() {
_root.ticker_txt.backgroundColor = "0xFFCC00";
_root.ticker_txt.background = true;
[Code]....
If I move the changeColour(); call outside of the unpause(); function - it works perfectly!?
I am sure it is the way I am refrencing the textField - but everything is in the same moviclip/scene/frame - so _root should work surely?
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?
View 1 RepliesThe goal is to have a link to a url, that changes colour when you roll the mouse over it. I'd rather it wasn't a btn as there are a lot of links similar and it would be very time consuming to change them all to symbols and stuff. I'm using flash CS4 [AS2]. Currently, I have a dynamic text box on the stage and a link in the link box. ***please see attatched screenshot*** Please can someone send over some AS2 script that I can use to change the colour of the text on mouseover?

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI've got a background behind the text that changes colour once the mouse is rolled over. However I'm trying to get the text to change colour at the same time. The text box is slightly smaller than the background box for the time being. When I put my most over the box it changes colou rto red as expected. However, when I roll my mouse over the text box, it turns completely white. This again is expected, but not what I want. This is happening because the text is turning white as its supposed to, and the background is as well when the mouse is taken off. The about text is a button, and its default rollover state is making the background turn white as it rolls over the text layer. Is there some way prioritize the background? What needs to be changed in the code? Also the drop shadow turns off when I put my mouse over them the first time and I m not quite sure why...Here's my AS code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;about_bg.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, manageMouseOver); about_bg.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, manageMouseOut);[code]....
Using this code I am filling a dynamic text box with numbers 1-number defined by xml:
Code:
var pageNum:String;
txt.text = "";
for (var i:int=1; i < myXML.*.length()+1; i++) {
pageNum = String(i);
txt.appendText(pageNum+" ");
}
What I would like to do is be able to change the colour of one number. If the dynamic text box has the numbers 1-5 in it I would, for example, like to change the colour of the number 2. Have it set to blue but the rest to white. How would I do this without changing the colour of the entire text field?

View 4 RepliesI'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.

i've a movie clip (e.g. scroll_text) which is consist of 5 words (each word is an individual movie clip). an instance of 'scroll_text' movie clip placed in the main timeline with the following script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x -= 30;
if (_x<=-2247) {
[code].......
if you scroll down and then click on another entry on the calendar, the text box scrollbar stays at the position it was in, instead of scrolling up to the top whenever a new external file is loaded.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering how you change the text colour with action script. The Kirupa mouse trail tutorial I was looking at has the following script for the text:
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = "Verdana";
letterformat.align = "center";

Is there a way to do this or am I way off track?
i am a beginner user of flash & i think i have mentioned this in my earlier post here few days back , i have just made a little dynamic text field and loading some html text and images into it via xml CDATA node. everything is working fine i just wanted to put some animation effects on my text field while loading it through xml ...i added some motion tween in the beginning which actually moves whole text field from out side of canvas to inside at its original place with ease out . its looking fine to me but i noticed that dynamic text loads a bit late and during tweening i just see empty text field .so i was wondering how to put some simple effects on loading dynamic text

I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

View 14 RepliesI have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.
In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".
After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".
When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.
I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.
Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.
when it comes to flash but managed to learn enough this past week to get a simple website up (getting laid off so scrambling to get portfolio online!). I have an upload test at lisedupuis.net. In my work section I have a bunch of thumbnails (buttons) for all of the video. Basically, I want to add a text field under the video player which will contain a movie clip name. I want to set it up so that when you mouse over the thumbnails the text changes to the correct movie clip name. I thought maybe creating an event listener might work but can't seem to figure out how to write it. Been looking online and not finding exactly what I need and I am in a huge rush.
