RE: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox color ?

2005-02-25 Thread Tracy Spratt 
Well I used this and it works fine, but the color is purple, I want red,
and I am clueless how to set all those properties, even after I looked
in the docs.

Red offset?? What the heck is that?

I tried changing things at random and managed to blow away the down
arrow completely.

Will someone tell me what I need to do to get a red background? Right
now I'd take any shade!

Yope, here it is, looks like:

class com.r0main.EnhancedComboBox extends mx.controls.ComboBox {
...
private function changeState() {
var colorTransform:Object = { ra: 70, rb: 0, ga: 70, gb: 0, ba:
100,
bb: 0, aa: 70, ab: 0};
var bg_color:Color = new Color(downArrow_mc);
bg_color.setTransform(colorTransform);
}

private function restoreState() {
var colorTransform:Object = { ra: 100, rb: 0, ga: 100, gb: 0,
ba:
100, bb: 0, aa: 100, ab: 0};
var bg_color:Color = new Color(downArrow_mc);
bg_color.setTransform(colorTransform);
}
...
}

 Thanks Alistair,
 using your idea I started to look at movieClips used by the ComboBox
 component, and found that downArrow_mc represents the whole closed
 uneditable box, ie using setTransform I can change the box color !
 
 Thanks a lot, r0main

  If the combo box is editable, then backgroundColor can be set; as
 soon as
  editable is false, changing the style seems to have no effect. Eg,
try:
  
  ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application

  mx:ComboBox id=combo editable=true
backgroundColor=#ff
  dataProvider={ [ 'a', 'b' ] } /
  
  /mx:Application
  
  When I looked into this a bit last year, I played about with setting
 color
  styles on the combo box's textField property (the display part of
 the combo)
  and even text_mc (the physical TextInput exposed as textField), and
 although
  it works slightly differently, still doesn't do anything when the
 combo is
  not editable:
  
  ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application 
  xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
  
  mx:ComboBox id=combo editable=true
  creationComplete=combo.textField.setStyle( 'backgroundColor',
 '#ff' );
  dataProvider={ [ 'a', 'b' ] } /
  
  /mx:Application
  
  The ability to set the background color wasn't really needed by
us, so 
  I didn't investigate long.
  
  Let us know if you get any further :)

Title: RE: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox color ?






This one is Purple:

var colorTransform:Object = { ra: 70, rb: 0, ga: 70, gb: 0, ba: 100, bb: 0, aa: 70, ab: 0};

This one is Red:

var colorTransform:Object = { ra: 100, rb: 0, ga: 0, gb: 0, ba: 0, bb: 0, aa: 70, ab: 0};


Basically I set the green and blue percents to 0 and the red percent to 100. Actually makes sense.

Still don't know what the offsets do.
