Using The User's Time To Display A Message Or Change Colors
I'm trying to find some resources on how to use the user's time to display a message (such as good morning, afternoon, evening) and to change the color of a background to fit the time of day.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking!

Replacing The Gradient Colors In A Display Object
Hello everyone,
I have a question about replacing gradients.
Suppose I have a movieclip that is created in Flash CS3 with a gradient. For example a star with a radial gradient so the middle of the star is blue and it turns to green towards the outside. Notice this is a pre-made object, not something I can draw at runtime as it is too complex and it animates.
How can I replace those gradient colors in actionscript 3? For example, I want to change the middle of the star to red and the outside gradient color to yellow.
Is there any way to do this? It seems like the gradient colors should be something you can get access in a display object but I can't find any reference to them.
Thanks!
Display Message On Drag
My site isn't loaded yet but what i am after knowing is kind of at http://www.typographic56.co.uk where you drag on a little square button also results on the caption following the mouse at all times.
My caption appears on mouseover/out but not on drag:
//the buutton graphic called bit-sm
on (press) {
startDrag ("/bit-sm");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}
//call dynamic text in caption movie
on (rollOver) {
_root.caption(" This button", 5);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.caption("This button", 10);
}
*************
somewhere there needs code to show the
caption following the mouse when being dragged
I have tried on (release, press) it must work on a different principle
Getting An Swf To Display My Message Board Text
infopop's "ultimate bulletin board" forum program has the ability to dynamically pull information from the message board and place it somewhere else. for example, you can display the 5 most recent posts on the board within a little table on your homepage.
i'd like to do something similar, except display the most recent posts within a flash movie on my homepage.
the message boards allow you to output the data in a few different ways:
ssi includes (html file)
javascript include (js file)
rss agent (xml file)
outputting the information dynamically is easy enough -- its just a setting inside the message board program that, when set properly, gives you the xml, html, or js file string that you can then take and enter somewhere else -- in my case, a flash file.
i just don't know what do do in flash once i have the above. i was hoping someone here could walk me through how i get the flash movie to display the information?
thanks
Display Message Upon Array Choice
I'm trying to display a message in a dynamic text box if the user types in a specific name in a search box, based upon an array. If the user types in "choice 3" for example, I want my "message" text box to display a message about the user's choice. Here's the code I'm using:
var choice:Array = [{label:"choice 1"}, {label:"choice 2"}, {label:"choice 3"}, {label:"choice 4"}, {label:"choice 5"}, {label:"choice 6"}, {label:"choice 7"}, {label:"choice 8"}, {label:"choice 9"}, {label:"choice 10"}, {label:"choice 11"}, {label:"choice 12"}, {label:"choice 13"}];
autoComplete.dataProvider = new DataProvider(choice);
if(choice = "choice 3") {
message = "choice 3 message text"
}
And here's are the error messages I'm getting:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Array.
Any ideas?
How To Change Colors ?
I have some variables, which are set to 0x000000 for example.
how can you change that value, and then make the resulting change populate throughout the movie?
or do you specifically have to target all the objects that need to be colored?
Can you use a Listener ? any code examples or tutorials on this subject, it must be a reasonably useful thing to do.

Periodically Display Message According To Timer & Array
Hi everyone, i have a movie going at 12 FPS i built a timer countdown script.
Basically i want to have random elements pulled from an array at regular time intervals. My problem is figuring out how to calculate the interval at wich the element is sopposed to be pulled from the array based on the timer....
My code is
ActionScript Code:
var level1 = new Array();
#include "levels.as" // Contains the level1 array with 11 elements in it
seconds = 120;
time_left = seconds*12;
total_time = time_left;
function countdown() {
time_left--;
if (time_left<=0) {
// Action when script is done
}
minutesLeft = Math.floor(((time_left/12)/60));
secondsLeft = Math.floor(((time_left/12)%60));
if (secondsLeft<10) {
secondsLeft = "0"+secondsLeft;
}
_root.remaining.text = minutesLeft+":"+secondsLeft;
}
function dropInterval(levelX) {
levelLenght = levelX.length;
//timePrecent = Math.floor((time_left*100)/total_time);
//levelPrecent = Math.floor((total_time*100)/levelLenght);
//this is what i need help on.....
//my above formulas are useless.....
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
countdown();
dropInterval(level1);
};

I have a big group of layers that I'd like to make the same color. Is there a way to change them all at once. I tried to select them all and change the color of one, but it just changed the one and not all of them. I would think there would be an easy way of doing this.

Change Colors And SharedObject
Hi all,
I have a quite difficult problem (well, for me it is). I mean, that I've got an attached mc from the library and it's duplicated with xml. Mc has a function of an button (getUrl). I need Mc to change a color when "rollOver" and "rollOut" and then when "on release" to change a color forever by using a SharedObject. For example there are about 60 of these mcs and only the one, which will be clicked, has to change the color.
Could someone please help to make a small sample for me? I would really appreciate it.

Error Function: Display Message And Stop Further Execution
How can I stop execution of Actionscript but without exiting the whole application (an AIR app)?
So far I have this function:
ActionScript Code:
function as_error(msg, obj_internal_info = false) {
var msgHTML = "<b><font color="FF0000">Sorry, an error occured:</font><br><br>"+ msg +"</b>";
if (typeof obj_internal_info == "object") {
msgHTML += "<br><br>Extra info:";
for (var i in obj_internal_info) {
msgHTML += "<br>"+ i +" : "+ obj_internal_info[i];
}
}
show_pagewide_msg(false, msgHTML);
throw new Error("An error occured.");
}
This shows a nice error message to the user and then I want it to stop executing any further actionscript until the next event triggers some code. I have managed to make this kind of function in both Javascript and PHP (PHP was simple - as always!) so I hope it can be done in AS as well.
The above example almost works, but I would like to not have it come up with the standard dialog box saying "An ActionScript error has occured: ...blablabla...". I would even like to be able to control if script should continue or not.
How would I do this in AS?

Change Other Buttons Colors On Mouse Over?
Hey guys,
I have very little flash experience so please bear with me.
I have 4 buttons in a row that are all different colors. I want to have it so when I mouse over / click one button, the other 4 change to the same color as it then return to their original states when the mouse moves off.
I tried just drawing the effect i wanted in the up,over,down frames for each button (and placing all the buttons in the same layer) but because of the arrangement only the front button works.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Dynamically Change Bordercolor Up/over/down Colors
I am building a map of the US. Each state is a button with a black border and gray as the up color, red as the over color and pink as the down color. I am trying to use and XML file to allow me to dynamically change the bordercolor, up color over color and down color of the states depending on what site I want it to be on.
I have already made it dynamic on if each state button is enabled via xml. I know about the color object:
myColor = new Color (_root.WA);
myColor.setRGB = 0xFF0000;
but that turns the whole thing red. I just want to be able to access each individual part of the button. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
MC Color Change With Thousands Of Colors
I came across a site (URL below) that uses a very large color palette to let the user pick the color for the movie clip. It looks and acts just like a standard color picker in Photoshop, but with click and drag functionality to change colors
Can anyone tell me how they did this? I've found many tutorials for doing this with a relatively small number of pre-defined color swatches. I find it hard to believe that the author actually manually defined each color pixel in the palette to accomplish this one. I am relatively new to AS, and have Flash 8 Pro at my disposal.
Here is the site: http://www.southernmotorcompany.com/ -- click Palette button on the left.
Any help would be appreciated!
