Actionscript 3 :: Change Backgroundcolor On TextArea From External CSS?
Feb 17, 2012
Im trying to change the background color on my textarea from an external css.I can change the color of the buttons so the style sheet is working. But I cant seem to ad the class into the text area.[code]...
I have a simple application which uses a RichTextEditor with a colored background, like so:
[code]...
This works fine when I compile against Flex 3.5.0, but in Flex 4.0 and 4.5, the background color remains white. I've tried setting it before the text, after the text, before and after it is added to the stage - even every single frame with an EnterFrame handler. Nothing - it just stays white.
Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone have a workaround? I don't really want to switch to a Spark component if I can help it, and I can't downgrade the whole application to 3.5.
I would like to change backgroundColor of an drawn object(square) by mouseover. I acutally found the function for mouseover in action scripts but BackgroundColor("#ccc") does not work.

This is not all of it but i want to change it from black to like lets say green.Is there a way to change it to a different color without using a xml or any other program?
I am using a TextArea in my application, and wish to change the font color of textArea at runtime based on certain conditions? I am using the following code in a functionresultText.setStyle("color", 0x842D22).However, this does not work, and gives me an exception at runtimeCannot Access property of null object reference.
Is it possible to change the width of an insert TAB character in a Flex TextArea?I'm capturing FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE events and manually inserting a " " into a text area styled with an embedded monospace font. By default, the TABs are being displayed two and a half monospace characters wide... I need them to display five monospace characters wide
I have a number of textarea controls which display data retireved through XMLConnector / PHP / dataset. How can I change the font size (or colour) using actionscript 2.0 in a Flash textarea control?
I'm trying to change the background color of a TextArea Component.Does anyone know how to do this?

I am using actionsript 3 and flex 3.5. Is there any way to change the font color of a part of text in TextArea control without using "htmlText" property?
For example I have a string "dog, cat, fish". I want to change the color of "cat" word to red.
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).
I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar
how to set the scrollpane's background color in AS3 with CS4?You can't seem to use _Globals, setStyle,and opaqueBackground doesn't seem to work effectively.
I've already tried a lot, but there was no way I could change the color of my textInput. Adobe Livedocs couldn't help me and there was no working piece of code I could find in other messageboards.
That's really all I want to do. Why is something like this so complicated? When you go into Component edit mode, you can easily change the highlight colors. Then why make it impossible to change the actual ground color? Why should I have to scour the internet to find complex code just to change the color? Sorry, it's just frustrating.Anyway, if setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xCCCCCC); ... was all I needed to do that would be fine, but that doesn't work.Even if it's not possible, I would accept text rollOverColor, or hover... nothing.I think there should be a drop down color box in the component editing window at the very lest.
I have a Flex 4.5 mobile app, I'm trying to set the backgroundColor to black, aka 0x000000 at runtime.It won't go black, in fact, it will go any other color but black.[code]Just as some extra info, I have my original Application backgroundColor #333333 set in a .css file and in the MXML Application node.
I searched and didn't find quite the right solution. Please bare with me as I am a complete infant with this.Using a component listbox in CS4. I have figured out how to call in formatting to the text by using this:Code: Select allimport fl.managers.StyleManager; var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); at the head, and referring to it below, with:
I have a textinput component that needs to have a transparent background. I've tried adjusting the alpha to 0% and 25%, the former doesn't display the contents (white font bold sans-serif) and the latter leaves a shaded background. I've also tried the following:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat; tf.color=0xFFFFFF; tf.font="Sans-serif"; tf.size=12; tf.bold=true; txtlowtemp.setStyle("textFormat",tf); txtlowtemp.backgroundColor=undefined; txthitemp.setStyle("textFormat",tf);

However, this gives error 1119 access to possibly undefined property backgroundColor.
How can I create a truly transparent background for these components?
or if i'm using Flash Professional, i can simply set these properties for the document in the UI.
while the Stage class offers the ability to set a frameRate and override width and height thru properties in actionscript, why is it not possible to set the background color of the stage the same way?
Stage doesn't have a property (public or otherwise) for background color. can anyone explain why that is? it seems strange to me but i'm assuming there is a good reason rather than this simply being a oversight.
Example text in white and background in black. [URL]If you select the text something is happening. But the default colors are not really set well. In HTML is automatic done, but in AS3? If the background is white and tekst black it works all fine....
I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
Folx; Does the manual document the setting of transparency in TextField.textColor or TextField.backgroundColor, not just the _alpha of the TextField altogether? If so, I cant seem to find it. In addition to the RGB/hex values, the color palette in the Properties panel allows you to set transparency in %, yes, but can this also be achieved programmatically?
