ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting - Then Changing And Setting - Text Color On A Text Object

Jul 15, 2009

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text Color & HTML Background Color

Jun 18, 2009

So i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
 
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
 
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
 
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
  
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK);
function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{
background.play();    homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
  
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text Color On Mouse Over?

Apr 9, 2009

I think I'm really close to getting my multiple choice question to work! Here's what it does:

1) Read my question, possible answers, and correct answer key from XML.

2) Print the question, 4 answers, and 4 radio buttons on the stage.

3) Clicking the submit button on the stage, checks the answer. The user gets feedback based on whether they are right or wrong.

1) When the user mouses over an answer, I want to change the text color.

Currently, only the color of the last answer is changing colors, and it's changing colors if I mouse over any of the answers.

Here's my code:

Code:
import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
var qLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

ActionScript 2.0 :: CreateTextField And Changing Text Color

Apr 13, 2007

What I am trying to do is: have a dynamically created text field change color when i roll over a movieclip. This is what I have: a movie clip with this code:

Code:
this.createTextField("header", 99, 10, 10, 100, 300);
header.autoSize = true;
header.embedFonts = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.size = 50;
[Code] .....

The dynamically created textfield (lets call it "header") works fine. However, i cannot seem to get the text field to change color once you roll over the instances. I've tried using "
Code:
on (rollover) {
this.header.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;"
}
but no such luck....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Dynamic Text Color?

Nov 23, 2005

I have an array made up of nodes pulled from an XML file. Is it possible to change the text attributes (i.e. color or alpha) of one of these chunks of text.

So a very typical situation. XML is loaded into arrays. The text is loaded with a for loop into an empty movieslip. Looks like this:

text_obj.xmlNode1[n]

So lets say I want to do something to the color of array position 1. I set up a little function....

dummyButton.onPress = function(){
text_obj.xmlNode1[0].color = 0xff0000;
}

Seems like it should work, but doesn't Can I do this with dynamic text? Is there a workaround? I basically need to call out portions of the text during an animation. Think animated text highlighting.

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField Text Color Changing (not Animated)

Apr 24, 2009

Say 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'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).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text Color In Input And Output Field?

Nov 19, 2010

I have an input text field in which the user enters text. This text is displayed in an output textfield. The user should have the option to change the color of a selection, This color should be applied to the selection in both the input and output textfield. After that the user should be able to further edit the text without loosing the fomatting.

But pictures say more than words so...

1. The user selects text and sets the color to yellow

2. The text color is set to yellow just like I want

3. This is the actual issue. When the text (in the input field) is edited all text in the ouput field goes black again That's not what I want, I want the colored text to stay colored when the input is edited.

This is my code:

Code:
txt_Input.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncOutput)
btn_Format.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fncFormat)
var tfmBlack:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Menu - Changing Color Of Text OnMouseOver

May 16, 2004

My menu(code is by scotty)has 3 movieclip buttons, with text. I broke apart the text to change the color onMouseOver. Problem is the button only works when the mouse is pointed over the actual text, so it doesn't work properly, because the text is obviously very small. I can't put a "field" behind it, because it will become part of the MC, and thus will change color.
Here's the example: [URL]

Flex :: Changing Spark TextArea Text Color Dynamically Over A Range Of Characters?

Dec 22, 2010

I am attempting to dynamically change the color of a subset/portion of text in a Spark TextArea control. Using the MX-based TextArea, I could leverage the mx.controls.textClasses.TextRange type and change the color directly as follows:

TextRange tr = new TextRange(theTextAreaControl, false, beginIndex, endIndex);
 tr.color = somePredefindColor;

Input Parameters to TextRange constructor:

1st argument: The TextArea control that will provide access to the underlying textField property
2nd argument: Indicates the TextRange will not modify the content of the TextArea
3rd argument: The beginning index position in the TextArea text string
4th argument: The ending index position in the TextArea text string

How would I go about doing this for a Spark-based TextArea control? I am looking to dynamically change the font color for a range of text, not just the entire TextArea AND I cannot statically specify the font color. The problem I run into when trying to re-use the TextRange type is that the 1st argument is expected to provide the textField property, which is currently not on the Spark-based TextArea control. I thought about extending the Spark-based TextArea control to provide this accessor property but that seems like overkill and is probably not the best approach.

Flex :: TextInput - Setting Text Property Before Object?

Sep 30, 2009

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?
