Question
Help with changing properties of textbox
I created a textfield on the stage with the following
properties specified in the property inspector:
type: Dynamic Text
instance name: events_txt
line type: multiline
font: _sans
character position: normal
font-size: 24
text color: black
align: left
selectable button, render text as html button, and show border button are all active
When I write the following code, it does not work:
events_text._alpha = 85;
Also, the only way I could get the following line to work was when I clicked the show border button (was not originally selected).
events_txt.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xCCCCCC); // this only works when clicking border button in property inspector
This code is in frame 1 of scene 1 in my move. I am using a component in my movie as well, and this textbox is supposed to be on top of the movie, with the background of the textbox slightly transparent. I am fairly new to flash and actionscript, and I am supposed to be modifying an existing document. Most things have been easy enough to do, but for some reason I can't get this to work.
Can anyone tell me something what I am doing wrong?
