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]...
View 2 RepliesI 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 dont know how to change the backgroundcolor of the stage.
Shouldnt:
_root.backgroundColor = "0x00ff00";
..normally do the trick?
Just realized I don't know how to change the backgroundcolor of the stage.

For example I have a string "dog, cat, fish". I want to change the color of "cat" word to red.
Is it possible that such simple thing isn't possible to change. I searched for this but couldn't find anything useful.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create TextArea component in an external .as file. For starters I've copy the code directly from the Adobe AS3 reference page
Code:
import fl.controls.TextArea;
var aTa:TextArea = new TextArea();
aTa.move(100,100);
[Code]...
Is there any class I still need to import when running this from a .as file?
A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...
addChild(Texta1);
Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
[Code].....
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
Can somebody share an example on how to set the backgroundcolor of a datagridcolumn (dynamically)?
View 3 Replieshow 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.
These things haven't work for me:
myTextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFFF00);
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", Number(0xFFF00));
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", "#FFF00");
Do I have to do something about the border of the textInput. Or about the "background"-Property (if it still exists for AS3)??
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 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);

How can I create a truly transparent background for these components?
I have a textfield on stage and on RollOver I want to get it's background color?

i can set the stage's background color, etc., using a SWF metadata tag:
[SWF(width="1024", height="600", frameRate="60", backgroundColor="#000000")]
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....
View 1 RepliesI'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
[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?
