Changing The Scrollbar Components Color? 1

[danielh68]

Hi,

I've actually checked out the "help" file on how to change the color of a scrollbar...or at least I thought I did. It went into FStyles and about eight arrow clicks later, I still didn't understand it. Changing the color of the scrollbar shouldn't be that tedious...should it? Does anyone know of a simple way of doing it?

Thanks a million,
DanH

there are 3 ways really but you might find this the easiest.
just add this to the frame actions and change to suit

formStyleFormat = new FStyleFormat;

formStyleFormat.scrollTrack = "0x123456";
formStyleFormat.highlight = "0x000000";
formStyleFormat.highlight3D = "0x000000";
formStyleFormat.arrow = "0xffffff";
formStyleFormat.face = "0x003366";
formStyleFormat.background = "0x123456";
formStyleFormat.shadow = "0x000000";
formStyleFormat.darkshadow = "0x000000";
formStyleFormat.addListener(myscrollBar);
formStyleFormat.applyChanges();

with myscrollbar the instance name of the scrollbar

When you say "frame actions" does that mean I go into the actions palette, click Flash UI Components, click FScrollBar and then paste in the above code while viewing it in expert mode?

Actually, I tried just pasting it to see if I would get any changes, however upon testing it, I got the same look. I guess I'm not really sure on how to implement it.

the frame that the scrollbar is will have a number...firts frame 1 and so on

right click in there and copy and paste the code. you must be in expert mode.
