Professional :: Button Color Not Changing In State Edit
Apr 3, 2012
I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.
I have a button with an icon. I want to have the button in gray so I change the chromeColor but when I do that, the icon became darker.On the left the button without changing the color, on the right, the gray button with and darker icon.How can I have a gray button without changing the icon color?
I have 20 buttons (mc's). I want to be able to select one and have it stay in the down state until another is pressed. Frame 1 is "up" frame 2 is "down". I have an array of the buttons(mc's). This piece of code works but doesn't return the button to the up state when another is selected.
function changeButtonState(a){ var i = 0; for (i=0;i<=19;i++){ if(a=="S"){_level0.sb[b].gotoAndStop(2);isw = 1;} }}
I am trying to figure out a way for an action script to change the background color of a particular button state.
I have a puzzle graphic. As the mouse moves over the pieces of the puzzle, the colors change. When the mouse clicks on the puzzle piece I want them to permanently change. However, I cannot figure out how to access the bgcolor property of a button state object, such as the up state.
I have a map of the US. Each U.S. state is a simple button.I'd like to change the button fill color (and potentially, theoutline color) in AS3. I've created the buttons in Flash,not inS3 (just graphically). How do I change the button fill color?Sample code:
function addButtonListeners(btnInstance:SimpleButton) { btnInstance.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, handleRollover);
I am changing a color of a button when clicked. How every i have ten buttons. Each instance name is like this Person1. Person2 etc.I can change the color of the button when clicked, however I want to make sure when you click on a different button, it changes the previous button back to its original color.I know i can do this the ghetto way and list out all the buttons i want with no color each time but if later i have 50 buttons i dont want to list them. So i built a loop but the loop is not working right. Can someone help?
This code is an example of what might be on the first button:
Code: on(release){ for(i = 0; i<11; i++){ var tmpPerson = new Color("Person"+i);
I am trying to change the background color in a flash 8 .exe file that seems to extract setup variables via an xml file. The xml file reads as follows:
How do you change the stroke color of a simple button? I have 50 simple buttons representing the 50 U.S. states. When I change the fill color with the following algorithm, I also eradicate the outline (stroke) color. How do I code in a stroke color?
I have two flash pages, one black and one green, and I need the html background color to change accordingly. What I think I need to do is code the button to change the b/g color.
I've been following this tutorial so far: [URL]
but for some reason it's not working.
It might be a securities issue, it opens up the page asking me if I want to run the JS. When I click 'yes' it opens up the page but the background color is the same. So while it opens the page it might not be running the script?
or, I'm not putting the JS in the right area of the html code. Right now I'm putting it after the first <head>.
Is java script my only option? a friend mentioned using css, but I have nothing to go off of as to how to make that work.
I have a symbol of a shape with a gradient drawn in Illustrator that I copied-and-pasted into Flash CS5. I created a simple motion tween by making the symbol move around the stage and scale. How do I now change the color of the symbol as it is moving on stage?
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange. I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything. When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue. Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text? Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
AS3 page with text links that change to a new color on mouse_over and change back on mouse_out. Sometimes the links do not change back and all remain colored after mouse-out. I have never been able to simulate the problem on my several computers at several locations but have seen it happen on the clients computers. Is there a known issue perhaps with Flash/AS3/Flash Player Version# that might cause this?
I know a few things...draging stuff...play buttons...the basics...But I need to know how to make a button be able to change the color and text style in an input textbox...I've tried various things, but I always got 2+ errors...it's annoying.
I'm trying to learn a simple way to code a button's color to change when you click on the button itself. I got the button's alpha to work by doing the following: Create a text field with the word "Preflight" and convert it to a button. Drag the button onto the stage and give it an instance name of "Preflight1". On the first frame of the timeline, insert the following code:
Now when you test the movie, anytime you click the button "Preflight" the button's alpha drops (dims) by 10%. Works perfect and easy. Now, how can I do this exact same thing with the button's color? When you click the button, its color changes to some new color? I've tried colorTransform, but no luck.
how to make a button stay in its down state when it's clicked, and then go back to its up state when another button is clicked? I'm using buttons, not movie clips.
I have a rectangular shaped button. When someone rolls over it, I want a text bubble to appear to the side of that button. The problem is, the mouse thinks it's over the button even if it's over the side bubble which does not exist in the "Up" state. How can I get the cursor to only detect a button ONLY if it's over any part of the "Up" state and not the "Over" state (which because of the side bubble is larger than the original "Up" state.)
Here is a screenshot of the two button states.[URL]... Even if the cursor rolls over the "Over" bubble (and not the Up state), the Over state still shows up.
I made a few buttons for my .fla and all the states are working but the hit state. So just to see what the problem was I made a new button, which is only text at each stage, so for up i wrote up, down down etc, all the states work but hit, what gives??? hit is after someone clicks it it should be at the hit state correct?
I am a beginner, using flash cs4. I am trying to work with my elder brother in his project, he is developing a website. Actually I want to make a button that stays in down state when released.
I've created an image with a dozen irregular buttons. It all works perfectly. Now I want to edit my flash cs5 file in a way so that, when clicked upon one button, the last of the 4 states (the hitbox state) will remain visible until one clicks another button. Now its looping back to the fist state. Im sure there must be an easy way to do this, something with a stop code maybe?
I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
I'm making an interactive map of the U.S. The layer with the outlines of the U.S. states sits on top. It has to sit on top because otherwise the outlines don't show up above the color fills for each state. I want a popup balloon to appear when you roll over each U.S. state. However, when I turn a state, say, New York, into a button, the button layer sits below the outline layer. So when I create the popup box for the button's rollover state, the popup box is *under* the US state outlines. How can I make the button rollover state exist on the highest layer?
I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.
i have been doing this tutorial http:[url]..but i am stuck on PART 8, i have done everything the tutorial has said so far (although my image and the colors used are different) but the large blank box at the top of the color pallet isnt changing color when i click on any color from the pallet.
Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.
I have a few movie clips that change color when they are rolled over and rolled out of which is great and works correctly but now I have add glows to those buttons to serve as borders or a stroke and when you roll over the buttons the color and the filter color changes.
