Listbox 1

[coder1964]

Hi All,

I would like to copy an effect I saw on a site where the style of the listbox changes on mouse over.

Anybody know how to do this ?

T.I.A.

What do you mean exactly by style? And if it changes on mouse over, then the difference can only be seen on the first looks of that listbox, I mean only the main selection box, before you mouse over it, right?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer.

What I saw was that when you moved the mouse over the listbox the colors all changed. Text, background, scroll bar etc. then when you moved out it all returned to the original colors. It was sort of dull then with the mouseover it changed to bright colors.

I will try and find the site again so I can post the link.

Thanks.

just sounds like a normal fstyleformat with maybe some alpha thrown in

have a go with this and see how you get on...list is the instance name

list.onRollOver = function(){
var myStyle = new FStyleFormat();
myStyle.background = 0xffffff;
myStyle.face = 0xFF0000;
mystyle.textColor = 0xFF0000;
myStyle.addListener(this);
myStyle.applyChanges();
}
list.onRollOut = function(){
var myStyle = new FStyleFormat();
myStyle.face = 0x222222;
myStyle.background = 0x333333;
myStyle.textColor = 0x000000;
myStyle.addListener(this);
myStyle.applyChanges();
}

Thank you Bill. Why didnt I think of that!!! I already have such a statement formatting the listbox.

I am off to kick myself for missing something so simple.
