Changing a Button Colour

[sb64284027]

Is it possible to change the color of a button once it has been pressed?  Say, from white to red.

[Nesa Nurani]

As "Mouse UP" event of button use this code:

event.target.fillColor = color.red;

That's brilliant!  Thank you.  Final question, is it possible to deselect the button so that it returns to it's initial color?

Do you mean toggle its color with each click?

[sb64284027]

Yep

Use this:

event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(color.white, event.target.fillColor)) ? color.red : color.white;

Is there a place/list where I can find out what colors are available to choose from?

Like this 'color. ' you can only use these colors:
red,green,blue,cyan,magenta,yellow,white,black,transparent.
But you can use any color using either RGB codes or CMYK.
As example Il use RGB colors, for black,white and transparent you can also use like this:
transparent - ["T"]
this.getField("Text1").fillColor = ["T"];
Black - ["G",0]
White - ["G",1]
and any shades of grey between black and white ["G",0.1] ["G",0.2]...
For RGB colors you can use like this:
lets say dark green color RGB code is 0 82 33 you divide each number with 255
0 is 0, 82 is 0.32 and 33 is 0.12 so the code would be ["RGB", 0,0.32,0.12]
or you can also use it like this:
["RGB", 0/255,82/255,33/255]

Hi Nesa,

Thank for that.  I've almost got it.  How do I substitute the dark green to say the red or white from what you've said above?

[Nesa Nurani]

There is lots of sites where you can get RGB codes like this one:

Sorry, I ment how to I write the correct code to subsitute say the dark green (or any other RGB) in the script you provided below?

event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(color.white, event.target.fillColor)) ? color.red : color.white;

[Nesa Nurani]

Replace color.red with ["RGB", 0/255,82/255,33/255]

EDIT: full code would be:

event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(["RGB", 255/255,255/255,255/255], event.target.fillColor)) ? ["RGB", 255/255,0/255,0/255] : ["RGB", 255/255,255/255,255/255];

Or

event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(["RGB", 1,1,1], event.target.fillColor)) ? ["RGB", 1,0,0] : ["RGB", 1,1,1];

Can we use the button to change the color of a shape with the above code?
