dynamic text color

I am trying to use an xml document to dynamically load the color of the text in my film and I can get the color, but when I try to use this value to change the color of the text, it does nothing, how can I get this to work?

Thank you

This is my code:

There are two problems here I think.
1. get the correct value.
var txtColor:Number = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode (this.firstChild, path + "/ textColor / *");

This probably gives you a correct path (if the xpath expression is correct for what you want to do), but the track is misleading.
trace applies to the toString method to its arguments (I think). And by putting the: number is not a number, the compiler treats just like one.

What you actually have is the following:
var txtColor:XMLNode = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode (this.firstChild, path + "/ textColor / *");

What if
trace (txtColor.NodeType)
Watch "3" then you have a node that contains the value you want.

So, try this:
var txtColor:Number = number ((XPathAPI.selectSingleNode (this.firstChild, path+"/textColor/*").nodeValue);

This * should * you get the value you need.

2. assignment of the value

If the works above, then assign the number must be very well... but just to clarify other points...
Regardless of if its flash 8 or flash CS3 compiler will give an error with the assignment of the string textColor property of a textfield if your textfield has been declared as a TextField.

For example
It does not work:
var testtext:TextField;
testtext.textColor = '0xff00ff ';

But it works without a declaration:

testtext.textColor = '0xff00ff ';

If you get this error, then you must use Number (stringValue) and it will work.

  • Selector of colors and dynamic text fields

    Hello

    Good so I have two problems here, and I don't know how to solve one of them!

    Problem 1.
    Change the font of a dynamic text field. I know how to do this with the properties of text etc format using action script, but I don't know how if you create a text field in the action script.

    I need to change the font of the text in a dynamic text field that is created and remains on the scene. I have a clip, and inside that movie clip is the text field, with all the content properly shaped. If I had to add the text field using action script I loose all the formatting. So is that nothing at all that I can change the text field properties by using script of action of a dynamic text field created on the stage?

    Problem 2.
    The color picker component! I want to use the color selector component to change the color of the text in the above dynamic text box. No doubt, I have the same problem as above, but this side, I can't work out how to draw the color from the color picker value when the user selects. I tried to use the ColorPickerEvent ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE knowledge... and so on. However, I am coding on the frame instead of an external action script file. and when I export the movie, the following error message appears: 1046: Type was not found or is not a constant of compilation: ColorPickerEvent.

    Someone at - it ideas how can I remedy this?

    Your help will be greatly appreciated, it is part of my studies and have been fighting for a time: S

    Many thanks for you help in advance

    Jude :D

    I don't know if I understand the problem of text format that you are experiencing. Looks like you want to have text that is already formatted to change to another format.

    If this is the case, simply set the new text format whenever the time comes to do so.

    If you have...

    var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    Format1.font = "arial";
    Format1. Size = 14;

    var format2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    format2.font = "papyrus."
    format2.size = 28;

    Then you can switch between the two formats according to the needs...

    tField.setTextFormat (format1);

    tField.setTextFormat (format2);

    as long as these formats are in the scope of their guest.

  • Dynamic text field color change

    Is it possible to change the color of a field of dynamic text through Actionscript? I use 2.0. I know how to change a button or mc color, but not a text field. The text field is currently defined as a string. Thank you.

    The color of the text string that is displayed can be changed, but not the color of the string. Strings are quite a few tables of characters... aka data. Display a channel on the scene, only to be placed in a TextField. The TextField is the place where the Visual attributes of a chain are managed (font, size, color, etc.).

    TextFields have many properties, which is the text. The text property is assigned the value of string which assimilate you to.

    TextField.text = String

  • Dynamic text / text entry format font color

    I have a single variable called firstname, and two text fields on the screen, a dynamic text at the top right to display the user name in a small gray font and a larger field of seizure in the middle of the screen. Both have the variable value to firstname, but each field is formatted differently (for example, color, font size, alignment).

    When I type the text in the larger field, the size/color/alignment of policies changes abruptly in the smaller field. How can I keep the formatting, but update only the variable?

    Auto Kern has not been verified.

    I didn't know how to get Flash to stop copying of text formatting and the text, but I found a simple solution.

    Do not give the text field variable names. Give them names of instance instead and run this command when you want to update the value of one with the content of the other:

    myTextField1.text = myTextField2.text;

    Which copy the text, not the formatting.

    Thank you man!

    You do not specify if you speak a native textfield object, or an element of HTML text overlay.

    For HTML text input elements, the property to set is "maxlength", all lowercase.

    For native textfield objects, there is no max length, width property maximum of only. You will need to manually apply any character limit in the code that defines the contents of the textfield object.

  • Show dynamic text inside the title for several images on mouseover

    I have 25 animated Clips dragged on the stage and they have for instance similar names for easier manipulation purposes within programming using loops. The instance names look like this: image0, image1, image2 and so on.

    Whenever I'm mouseover on one of these unique images, I want to show the unique title of this image using all securities as a dynamic text named imageTitle container.

    I managed to do this job image by image, but that would require me to copy paste and modify the following code for each image.

    image0.onRollOver = function() { 
        imageTitle.text = "First image title";
        imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000; // setting the text color here
      };



    image0.onRollOut = function() { 
        imageTitle.text = "Choose an image";
        imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000;
    }; 

    Question: The above code wouldn't work, but seems redundant to me. Since I was the name of similar instances (image0, image1,..., image24), how can I put this code inside a loop or something to work for all the images without repeating this code 25 times.

    Update: I've added a table for the project that contains all titles:

    var imagesTitles = new Array("First image title", "Second image title", .... );  

    :

    imageTitle.textColor = 0 x 000000;

    for (var i: Number = 0; i<>

    This ["image" + i] .ivar = i;  key stage

    {This ["image" + i] .onRollOver = Function ()}

    imageTitle.text = imagesTitles [this.ivar];  milestone used here

    }

    {This ["image" + i] .onRollOut = Function ()}

    imageTitle.text = "" Choose image ";"

    }

    Trevor

    To manipulate the font of the text in the textfield, you must use the TextFormat class and the setTextFormatmethod of the TextField.  The help documentation should have examples if you linger, and you should be able to find useful information by using Google.  Here is a link to the TextFormat class we have on the web: http://docs.brajeshwar.com/as2/TextFormat.html

    To change the characteristics of the textfield also far than go to background and border colors, the TextField class has properties to those that you can set.  Here is a link to the same site linked above, but for the information of class TextField.

  • Formatting text in dynamic text classic question

    I ran into a problem with a dynamic text field in an AS3 project. Here is the basic scenario:

    The scene is a classic text - filed a dynamic text. I'm loading the html from an external file content in this text field.

    html code example:

    <p>Some in a p tag</p>
    <ul>
    <li>a list item</li>
    <li>a list item with <span class="red">red text</span></li>
    </ul>
    <p>Some other text in a p tag</p>

    I am loading an external CSS document via a URLRequest and URLLoader

    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myStyle.css");cssLoader = new URLLoader();
    cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, cssLoadComplete); cssLoader.load(req);
    

    to complete the analysis of the css and applying the text field

    sheet.parseCSS(cssLoader.data);
    // apply style sheet to the myText
    myText.styleSheet = sheet;
    

    The question that I am running is that the balls on a bulleted list are inheriting the color of the class expanded inside of them, in the above case, there is a range of 'red text' inside the list item. I expect only the 'red' text to be red but the ball for this list item is red as well. Everything else it seems is applied correctly.

    I'm pretty stummped on this one. If anyone can offer suggestions or help, it would be most appreciated.

    It will certainly solve the problem. You just need to use a version of flash that supports / export TLFTextFields (latest versions). I don't know how old is your project. Good luck!

  • Value display trace in the dynamic text box

    Hey just work on an exercise and I can't understand the code to display the value of the trace in a dynamic text box.

    The following code generates exactly where I am at this time.

    addChild (myColourBitmapImage); Add to the scene

    Get colors

    var pixelValue:uint = myColourBitmapData.getPixel (85,62); color of the pixel at X, Y

    displayed in the output window

    trace (pixelValue.toString (16)); toString (16) converts uint in a number of Hexadecimel format

    Here are a few screens, I want the values of trace output to appear next to the text in the dynamic text box

    Picture 4.png

    Picture 6.png

    I'm not sure of how to call the pixelValue to my text box, any help would be appreciated!

    Before or after the line that begins with «trace...» ' set dynamicTextFieldInstanceName.text = pixelValue.toString (16); Replace dynamicTextFieldInstanceName with the actual name that you gave to the dynamic textfield.

    There is an error in your output window. It seems that you have not integrated a font in the dynamic textField.

    OK by adding '&' in the beginning was not a good idea, it seems that the best way is really to change your PHP so that it includes no extra blank characters at the beginning, but if you want to manage this side Flash you can do the following:

    1. restore your PHP to how it was before the return data do not begin by '& '.

    2. Remove myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez; so that the loader loads the data as string

    3. in your onDataLoad function follow these steps:

    function onDataLoad(evt:Event):void {
         var data:String = e.target.data;
         data = data.replace(/\s/g, ""); // remove extra white spaces from the data received

(Before the numbers stopped show altogether, they have been rounded up and that he seemed to be 10 x greater than they actually are, without my something like that.)

    Try just the text assignment clear ole to the textfields.

    T1. Text = "ole plain text."

    If you're not yet see anything, my inclination is first ask you to check if the font for the textfield color could match the background.  If this isn't the case, then are hide you, rotation, or animate these textfields - in which case you should join the police for them.

  • Definition of the size of the image in the dynamic text box

    I have a dynamic text box in which I'm embedding an image.  The following code fills the text box

    Hello J,

    If you use a component to scroll, you can eventually use the ScrollPane for movieclips instead.

    The Adobe AS2 components reference:

    " The ScrollPane component to view video clips, the JPEGs and SWFs in a scrollable area. Using a scroll pane, you can limit the amount of space occupied by these types of media screen. The scroll pane can display the content loaded from a local drive or on the Internet. You can set this content during programming and execution with ActionScript. "page 1093 "

    This way you could integrate the area of dynamic text (for your text) both the movieclip (which has the text for your image inside box) that you can then scale them both in an another movieclip (parent), you use the ScrollPane component on.

    This way your text in dynamic text field dimensionnera not, the image can be scaleed to the size of what ever you like (dynamically) and if the two are sitting in a parent movieclip, this parent movieclip may have a ScrollPane component on it.

    How does that sound?

    Best regards

  • Dynamic text in the swf test tube

    Hello. I have a dynamic text field in an external swf file loaded. His digital clock so I want the numbers to date in the dynamic text field.
    This isn't my exact code, but it is very similar. I show below I have add the loader.swf and once its loading is finished, I can work on his videos and add listeners for events to its buttons, etc. but I can't change the dynamic text field (his 'classic text' value 'dynamic text'). After doing it, the text just stay empty because it is in the external swf file).

    Here is the code example:

    ( var loader: Loader = new Loader()();

    charger. load ()new URLRequest ()"loader.swf"()();

    charger. contentLoaderInfo. addEventListener () Event. ( COMPLETE, load();

    loader_mc. myText_txt. text = "12"; //***This not work *

    }

    ----------------------------

    Help, please. Thank you!

    Did you embed you the fonts in the textfield - it must be done in the loaded swf file when you create? Another thing to check is that the color of the textfield object is not the same as the background on what is sitting.
