TextBox Background Color


http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...hreadid=525708


The above thread was great in terms of helping me figure out transparency in a text box... but what if I want to change the BG colour from white to a dark grey or something THEN do the _alpha thing... is there a way to change the bg colour of the textbox?

Color Of Text In Textbox
Hi all:

I have a textbox that is scrollable within my movie- I have the text different colors (i.e. my headers for the text is red and the content text is dark gray), however when I view the movie, it makes the text all red. I have embedded the fonts. The headers are also slightly larger but they are showing up the same size as the content text.

Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

TIA,
Sarah

Changing Textbox Color With Actionscript
I am a little confused. I have a text box I named "letter". I want the background of the textbox to be the same color as a graphic it sits on top of.

In the first frame of the movie, I assign the text to the textbox and set the background color like this:

letter = "falskdfjakld j";
letter.backgroundColor = "FFE8D6";

I get the text but I don't get the background color of the textbox to change.

Where does the letter.backgroundcolor code go?

Using Flash 5.0

I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Jef

OnRollOver, Change Textbox.text To New Color
So, I have a button on the main timeline( Let's call it button1) and a movieclip (let's call it movie1) with a dynamic text field (text1) inside. Currently, the text in the text field is white. The idea is that when you roll over button1, the the text field (text1) inside of movie1 will change it's color to a light grey. Now how do you suppose I do this? Here's the start of what's going on (and i could be wrong on the syntax).

Code:

button1.onRollOver = function() {
movie1.text1.text //this is where I get stuck
};

Background Color
Hello again, I have changed my background colors before and no problems, but now when I change my background color to a darker or any other color it does not work online. I change color and it works when I test, but after I upload, nothing. It stays the same. I can not even change it to black. It works fine until I upload and look at the live mc and it is still the same color.

Background-color <p>
hey,

I'm importing text with loadvars, and using a textfield with htmlText.
I was wandering if it is possible to style it, but also style it with different backgroundcolors.

for example: I want the first <p> to have a yellow background, and the next one to have a white.
As far as I know flash doesn't support a style-tag background-color... but maybe anyone here knows something?

Or maybe I have to simulate it with movieclips...?

I cant find good informations about changing flash background color from AS. I know that there are few different solutions - like loading "background sprite or mc".
Is it possible that there is no way for changing background color "directly" from AS?
As you see I'm new with flash so sorry if my questions are not as much ''clever'' as others! .

Help With Background Color
Posting this for a second time -

If I change the background color of my document, I can't see it, nor can I see the different fill colors of any symbols I add to Scene 1. The colors show fine when I run the movie. It is using the outline color to display all the objects on the work area whether I am in outline mode or not. I don't know what I did, but I could not find a menu item to turn it off.

Thanks for your help.

Background Color
Sup All —

I'm still "fairly" new to Flash/actionscript as I am growing wings and trying to get away from html. However I still intergrate my flash components into Dreamweaver and build everything out of Dreamweaver once I'm done in Flash.

However I have a simple question that I assume most of you would be able to answer.

I'm making a website for my band Kynosis. Check out www.kynosis.com fairly soon within a week, and the site will be up. Domain is there, just not he content.

Anyway :: back to my question. I have a preloader / flash checker for a splash page etc. . . .

I don't neccesarily want to detect screen size, but how do i have the image in the background—it's going to be a simple horizontal wash of black and white with the logo in the middle. 50% white on bottom and black on top. I want to this fill the entire window when one is looking at it, but want it to be able to be viewed nicely at 800x600 / 1024x768 / 1600x1200 etc ... i don't want to have the horizontal window bars on the bottom scroll, but just have the background wash exist to whatever window size the user has.

If anybody knows of how to correct this or any suggestions, all would be appreciated.

Thank you
michael

A Little Help With Background Color
Hello guys, I'm new here.

I was wondering, how could I change the background color in different scenes ? I tried changing through the document properties window (Where you could set your resolution, frame rate, background color etc), and the other scenes were all set at the same background color.

Is there a way to change this ?
Or perhaps should I create a rectangle on a single layer and lock it and apply the color I need ? Or perhaps thru AS ?

I hope to receive a favourable reply. Thanks.
