When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

one text field that gets a line pushed onto it every so often, but with a catch different words will have different colors; desired:
Line1 in my text field is here
Line2 in my text field is here
Making more then one text field is not an option for the amount of text that will be pushed into this field, is there some obvious way of doing this I have overlooked in the AS3 doc?

View 1 Repliesi have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?

View 2 RepliesI'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 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();

I though this would work but unfortunately I am not pulling the txt files into the field.
It is definitley giving me random feedback.

I feel like an idiot even asking, because I've seen the examples and lengthy tutorials.
All I want to do, is change the color of a dynamic text field when you press a button. But I want the name of the field to be a variable.
Now, this is what's there:
1. the variable "_root.expinttype1" is equal to "branch" and is set elsewhere.
1a. There is an existing dynamic field called "branch" on screen.
2. On the button release I set the format:

Why? I set a dummy variable txt = _root.expinttype1; and even threw it into a text field to verify the data, and it shows "branch", so why doesn't this work?

View 1 RepliesI have a text field in which I am loading HTML formatted text.
When I set a color to the text field, by using the "textColor" property, if the HTML formatted text has a different color assigned to some part of the text, by using the <font> tag, this color is no longer displayed, as it is overlapped by the "textColor" property one.
Is there a way to apply both a "textColor" property value and then be able to apply different colors using HTML tags ?
