View 6 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 want to change the colors in the geographic areas in a map based on which selection was chosen from a comboBox where the hex color codes to be used are stored someplace (xml file?). For example, if user chooses "1980" in the combo box, Minnesota will be blue, but if user chooses "2004", Minnesota will be red. an example of or tutorial on how to do this? At this point, I don't care if it's with AS2 or AS3. I assume each geographic area would be an object whose color is set after each selection. But rather than start from scratch, I'd love to see an example that's close to what I want.
View 3 RepliesHave created a combobox, a list of selectable text. Once the text is selected it display the selected text. now this script is working half ><
1. at beginning, the combobox is blanc, i want this actually by default. text1 displayed.
2. when i select for example text4, it does display text4, BUT when i select back to text2, nothing happens.[code]...
I'm a complete newbie to Flash and programming, so please forgive my lack of knowledge! I have been trying for a good couple of hours now to do what I'd think would be a simple task - change scene when the value in a comboBox is changed.This is the code I have:
stop();
dropdown.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changemade);
function changemade(event:Event):void {

I'm about as new to flash MX, how to write an action script that will allow me to change text with a button. However, I would like to be able to do it by a combo box. In other words, I would like to make it so that when you change the combo box to a different label, the text field will change to a different outside text file.
View 6 RepliesI get flashvars that I call with php link like this :
"movie.php?id=2"
The flashvar ID is well get in my movie and appear in a textfield, but the code I use to change the combobox don't work:
rssComboBox.setSelectedIndex(id);
I have a textfield, a combobox and a textfield displaying the XML.When I add something to the XML file using the textfield and the combobox, the textfield displaying the XML goes black.

How can I send a combo box'es labels to a text box? I would just like it to display whatever the user picked in a text box. I tried using a listener:
objComboListener = new Object();
objComboListener.change = function(eventObj){
mon.text = eventObj.target.value;
} mon_cb.addEventListener("change", objComboListener);
mon.text is the textbox, mon_cb is the combo box.
There are two problems with the above code though:
A. It displays my data, and not the labels.
B. It only displays the first selection. E.g.; if I choose something, it will display that thing, but if I choose another choice, it continues to display the first selection.
Im trying to use the selected item in a combo box (aCB) to populate a text field (taLabel) the trace statement shows the correct item but i'm missing something simple to make it work. This is the error I get:

I'm trying to move the textField (or the TextInput) part of a combobox up a few pixels... should be easy but it's not. I've tried this:
Code:
cb.textField.y+=5;
and this:

I've viewed the properties of the TextInput, List, and Combobox components and can't find anything that will help me do this. I created the class mentioned in the link, and successfully linked the TextInput library symbol, but when I add a trace statement to the class I get nothing.
Curious if you can change only some text in a TextField rather than all of it..Like simple example:The Ocean has alot of water...And make Ocean blue?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create buttons that will replace the text in a text field.The text field is "Staff_Copy".The buttons are "Staff_Saam_btn", "Staff_Nicolas_btn", "Staff_David_btn", and "Staff_Anthony_btn".
//Code in frame 1 of timeline
var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 0;[code]................
This doesn't work.Whatever the initial value of the variable "Staff_Copy_Value" is will determine the text in the field.So if I use the value 0 as in the above, whatever is in the textfield on the stage shows.If I use 1,2,3, or 4 then the text strings in the defined variables shows up.What am I missing.I am assuming it is has to do with the onEnterFrame command.How do I make the movie keep checking the value of "Staff_Copy_Value"?
I want to change the color of many text fields at once. I created an array, then a for each loop where I datatype the var to a TextField. For some reason, Flash reads this variable as a String, so I can't change the text field's color.

Is it possible to change the focusRect color for TextFields that are tab enabled? The project I'm working on doesn't use any flash components and I'd like to be able to modify this color to work within the color pallete provided by the client. I've looked into the InteractiveObject, DisplayObject, and StyleManager classes but nothing jumps out a me as far as being able to modify the base Yellow color.
I would think something like this would work but...
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.tabEnabled = true;
myTextField.focusRect = true;
myTextField.focusRect.color = 0xFFFF00;

I have just come up with this idea of passing in strings into a textbox. The problem is having the height automatically adjust depending on how long the string is. So I have set width for my textbox, but I want the height to change if the string is long enough to wrap.
View 2 RepliesGot a problem with dynamic textfield length. I have a flash movie which is loading text from an external text file. I have drag the dynamic text field and make its width equal to the movie length (say:550pxl) so that it covers the entire stage. I have given motion tween to this dynamic single line text field. So, that whatever the content is there in the external textfile will scroll from left to right. Now for a single line it is ok, but if there are lot of content which would exceed one line length then what to do? So, I need a script so that, the length of the singleline-textfield would be dynamically changed with the textlength, the content of which is being updated from an external file using the LoadVariable syntax. I am using Flash5.

I'm trying to link out to other websites using a simple textfield with the text options - link, and a destination, _blank. It's a large document and I'm adding to it daily. The problem is, when I return to flash, and make changes in other places, the earlier links I had in place change. [URL] explain to me why this is happening and how to prevent it? It's incredibly frustraing, stupid.Here is a link to the project. [URL]
View 6 RepliesNot really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.
View 2 RepliesSay I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?

I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)
