List Component Text Color RollOver
Ahhhhrrrrg!!!!!
For the life of me i cannot figure this out or cannot find simple straight forward documentation.
Previously in AS2, to set the style for a List Component when the mouse was over an item you would simple set it with
Code:
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x000000);
I've been trying to find info on how the heck you do this in AS3, cause the above dont work.
i've been playing with the following code, but it does not have a rollOver property
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x00FF00;
tf.font = "Andale Mono";
tf.size = 14;
So please help, does anyone have a clue?
PS, normally when a programing language is changed, is is done at an easing speed, but AHHH! NO!!! not with AS3, it has changed 101%
Sorry just letting some frustration out.
Thanks for the help.

Component Rollover Color Change
I am using the checkbox component and I want to change the color of the default green that I get when I rollover the component. How is that done?
I have the following to style my component otherwise. Is this the right way to do it? Or should I create a combined declaration?
this.checkBox.label = "Subscribe to Mailing List";
this.checkBox.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
this.checkBox.setStyle("color","0x000000");
this.checkBox.setStyle("fontSize","10")
Text Overflow In Combo Box Component
This is weird. I am receiving some recordset back from a remoting call, and using DataGlue.bindFomratString() to populate a combo box:
code: AdminDataHandler.prototype.getNews_Result = function(result){
//this handles the result from a getNews service call
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(this._tl.sectionClip_mc .editNewsForm_mc.newsStories_cb, result, "#newsInfo#", "#news_id#");
}
Everything work ok, excpet for the fact that the text is overflowing for the labels in the combo box:
from what i understand, the text is supposed to just get clipped to fit if is too long to fit.
This is in Flash MX, and AS1.
Any ideas what it could be? I have been searching around but can't find any answers.
Thanks,
Rich

[F8] Text Color In A List Component
I have searched for this and nobody seems to know the answer!
I have a list and want to change the text color of individual rows.
The background color can be changed thus:
Code:
list.setPropertiesAt(number, {backgroundColor:0x999999});
but replace 'backgroundColor' with 'textColor' or even just 'color' and nothing happens! Surely I am not alone in thinking that changing the text color would be more desirable than changing the background color!
Anyone got any thoughts?

Change Component Text Color
I am working with flash CS3 in AS3 and I'm currently skinning my component. The component I'm working with is a list box and I have visually changed all the colors of button states from the library, which is a breeze. However, some of the colors I used do not work well with the standard black text. I was wondering how to make text in my listbox change with the button state changes that I've made.
Thanks,

[CS3] Changing Text Color In List Component?
Hallo,
Just switched over to CS3, still adjusting to the many many changes.
How on earth do you change the text color styles of a List component in AS3? I know it was easier to directly access the .color, .rollOverColor properties in AS2, but I can't find *ANY* comparable feature in AS3. I can see how everything else is skinned, by navigating the layers of symbols within the component. Can anyone help me, or explain how I'm thinking about this wrong?
Thanks,
Dylan

Update Text Size, Color And Font Of A TextArea Component
Hi All,
I'm using Adobe CS3 and writing in AS3. Many people are having the same problem as me, all across internet land, so if you can resolve this you will be helping a lot of people.
I have two textarea components that I'd like to change the font, size and colour of the text in each. Both have to remain editable, and if possible I'd like to do it from within the CS3 IDE.
Here's one of them:
Code:
var playerlist:TextArea = new TextArea();
playerlist.move(530.5,375.9);
playerlist.setSize(200,173);
playerlist.editable=false;
Can anyone give me (a newbie to this!) step by step instructions as to how to do this please?
Please do not direct me to the Adobe help pages or anywhere else. I have scoured the web and cannot find/understand anything that helps me resolve this problem. Among the solutions I've tried include:
1) Accessing the TextField component within the TextArea directly (I thought I was on to a winner with this, but found out the variable is protected)
2) Setting the style directly e.g.
Code:
playerlist.setStyle("fontFamily", "Times");
(for some reason, simply doesn't work)
3) Setting up a TextFormat object and applying that to the textarea (doesn't work)
And probably a whole lot more that I can't remember...
Your help... ANY help that gets me closer to a solution.. IS very much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks,

Combo Rollover
I have a bunch of boxes, which will have images in them.
I want to have a combo onRollover, where the target box gets much larger AND the other boxes are pushed to the side out of the way.
I could use a suggestion in terms of how to approach the structure.
I have attached a fla with a couple of scenes. I have an expansion for each box and was going to make a scene for the enlargement of each box also, but I think I am going in the wrong direction.
These effects will also be used to show gallery images which will be dynamic (using php probably), so I will want to re-use this elsewhere in the fla.

Combo Box Component
Hello,
I'm running flash v8pro and having problems using the combo box in a movie. When I add a combobox using the combobox component I just get a white box where the combobox should appear. However, if I open up a new .fla and try to use the cb it works. I'm trying to add the combobox to the main timeline in the last frame and it's not working. Is there anything specific I need to look for to solve this problem?

Yet Another But In AS3 Combo-box Component
only yesterday i faced one bug with the combo-box component, which i
mangaged to overcome (with some help from Luke867), and today i have another
one.
to remind you - i have a swf containing combo-box which i load into the main
movie behind a mask. it works fine, except for one minor thing - the
selected item isn't displayed.
for testing purposes i made an empty movie, containing a mask and an empty
MC below it ('con'), into which i load my combo-box-containing swf, which
not surprisingly doesn't display the selected item, unless i remove the
mask. of course i've tried embeding the fonts - but guess what, no luck.
here's my code:
var ur:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("C:\Users\eRez\Documents\AllOfMe\Timeline019\swf\balloon.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
loader.load(ur);
con.addChild(loader);
function loaded(evt){
evt.target.content.cb.setStyle("embedFonts",true); // the instance name
of the combo-box is 'cb'
}
i've also tried inside the 'loaded' function -
evt.target.content.cb.getChildAt(1).setStyle("embedFonts",true); // knowing
that the combo-box' child #1 is the text-input
no success here either.
any suggestions?
thanks,

Combo Box Component
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to put a comboBox in my Flash form and normally I just use something like:
countryList.dataProvider = ["Country1", "Country2", "Country3", "Country4"];
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evtObj:Object) {
// code placed here executes
// when the event is triggered
trace("Selected Item: "+countryList.selectedItem);
};
countryList.addEventListener("change",listenerObject);
This will give me the selected item's value which I can chuck in a variable and send off to my form...
Well that is usually good enough but now I want to have a Label AND a Value so that when the user does the drop down they see the Label but I am actually sending the Value. I am messing around with the Flash Help code and I kind of see how this is working yet I can not get at the data I need which is the Value not the Label.
my_cb.dataProvider = [{name:"Gary", gender:"male"}, {name:"Susan", gender:"female"}];
my_cb.labelField = "name";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evtObj:Object) {
// code placed here executes
// when the event is triggered
trace("Selected Item: "+my_cb.selectedItem);
};
my_cb.addEventListener("change",listenerObject);
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
XML Component To Combo Box
I am loading in an xml document through the xml component. The xml is the make and models of bikes. I want only the unique bike names to appear in the combo box component. Is there a way of filetering this out in the scheme and bindings tabs
XML example
<bikes>
<bike make="x" model="a"/>
<bike make="y" model="b"/>
<bike make="y" model="bb"/>
<bike make="z" model="c"/>
</bikes>
In the comb box I want to list only x, y,z. Do I need to write code to do this.

Gallery Component, Combo Box, XML ?
Hey,
My name is Jason, and I'm working on a project where I use the new Photo Gallery component to load pictures of albums. and you can view the track listing, then download the track you want.
1. The component works fine, and loads the images, along with there attribute to a text box, which is the name of the album (IE:
forgottenfreshness3).
2. I am able to import an XML of the track list to a combo box, and choose the song, and click the download button. It all works great.
Now the problem is that I want to make it so when you click on the album (IE: forgottenfreshness3) that it will load the track listing of that album to the combo box from the (forgottenfreshness3.xml). Then when you click on another album, the track listing for that album will load into the combo box
Every still with me???
Here is the AS I have it is on FRAME 1 (the only frame)

***ACTIONSCRIPT***
In the actionscript I already told what xml file to load, and the image Gallery component, and combo box ,arent communicating to eachother yet. Some Ideas i had might be to write a "watch"
or a "while loop" checking the value of the textbox, so flash knows what XML file to load into the checkbox, but I'm not sure how to write it out....
If anyone can lend a helping hand I would greatly appreciate. I'm trying to get this up and going by Thursday or Friday.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
