Quick Question about flash radio buttons

Mrtee

I am trying to figure out something. I know it must be very simple if you know what your doing. I am trying to change the colour of the radio button's label/caption. I don't see anything in the component inspector. Do i need to write some actionscript?
:rolleyes: :eek: :mad: :cool:

You can't "hard" edit it as you would another movie clip in the library (well you can, but it's a long process), however you can easily change its properties using actionscript.

For example, if your button instance was called 'myButton', the following code attached to a keyframe would change the text color to red:

myButton.setStyle("color", 0xFF0000);

or

myButton.setStyle("color", "red");

(the latter method will only work for a number of default colors)

You can set other properties in the same way, e.g.:

myButton.setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");
myButton.setStyle("fontSize", 16);
myButton.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
