Is it possible to have a toggle button that has different font weights
upon it's selected and over state?
All I've got to do is create a number of links that when pressed, stay
highlighted -- and the highlight and over states just make the font
bold. Sounds simple, right?
Well, I used a number of text areas like this:
<mx:VBox id="vbox" left="10" verticalCenter="0" verticalGap="3" >
<mx:Text id="b0" text="What it is" click="{pages.selectedIndex=1;
switchIt(0);}" selectable="false" useHandCursor="true"
buttonMode="true"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed(source='dots.png')" />
<mx:Text id="b1" text="Who it's for" click="{pages.selectedIndex=2;
switchIt(1)}" selectable="false" mouseOut="{if(b1!=sel)
{b1.styleName='infoLinks'}}" mouseOver="{b1.styleName='onLink'}"
useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed(source='dots.png')" />
<mx:Text id="b2" text="What you do" click="{pages.selectedIndex=3;
switchIt(2)}" selectable="false" mouseOut="{if(b2!=sel)
{b2.styleName='infoLinks'}}" mouseOver="{b2.styleName='onLink'}"
useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed(source='dots.png')" />
<mx:Text id="b3" text="What you gain" click="{pages.selectedIndex=4;
switchIt(3)}" selectable="false" mouseOut="{if(b3!=sel)
{b3.styleName='infoLinks'}}" mouseOver="{b3.styleName='onLink'}"
useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"/>
</mx:VBox>
Well the trouble is - I want to make the selected text to be 'on' - so
I've been trying to set the selected text styleName to be the 'onLink'
by calling it in the switchIt function -- but this doesn't seem to be
working:
private function switchIt(num:Number):void{
for(var i:uint=0; i<4; i++){
if(vbox['b'+i] == tBut){
vbox['b'+i].styleName =
"onLink";
vbox['b'+i].mouseOver = "";
vbox['b'+i].mouseOut = "";
}else{
vbox['b'+i].mouseOut =
(vbox['b'+i].styleName = 'infoLinks');
vbox['b'+i].mouseOver =
(vbox['b'+i].styleName = 'onLink');
vbox['b'+i].styleName =
"infoLinks";
}
}
}
But it doesn't seem like I can set the mouseOver/mouseOut on Text
components?
