set the background color of a contentpane with AS

[torfnase]

Hello alltogether....

I have a little problem with changing the background Color of a contentpane with AS...
the name of the contentpane is contentpane1... and onClpEvent(release) I would like to change the background Color auf the contentpane (and also of annother shape....)...

I allready tried the following code-line:

_parent.contentpane1.setBackgroundColor("0xffffff");

but nothing happened...

What is wrong with this statement.. ?

kind regards

torfnase :-)

Hi torfnase,

I've never seen this before/wasn't aware you could use this but I don't think you need the _parent.. so it would just read contentpane1.setBackgroundColor("0xffffff" );

Hope that helps??

There is no function like that to set the background color.
If you place one on stage using the gui, you can select the color you want.

thank you all,
I managed to solve the problem...

I am working on a TAB-Interface, where the content is displayed in a contentpane. The active TAB has to be in the foreground, to make it look naturally. OK I could not change the background color of the contentpane, but now I change the "face" of the TAB, which has the same effect....

This is quite easy by using the following statement:

_root.button2.setStyleProperty("face",0xff0000);

to make the face red :-)

greetings :-)

Very nicely done and you clearly explained the possibilities of the contentpanel in the text.

Tschüss! :)

The content pages don't show when viewing the site with FireFox.
It looks like you typed you url's in a way IE understands and FireFox doesn't.

uupps
I only tested the interface with IE. It is obviously a problem with the Flashvars...

I put the names of the html-Snippets to display in a Flashvar like this:

<param name="FlashVars" value="schritt_1=1&schritt_2=2&schritt_3=3&schritt_4=4&schritt_5=5&schritt_6=6&schritt_7=7&einblendung=1">

but that does not seem to work in the FF :-(

[torfnase]

allright, I fixed it :-)

now it is working fine even in the feuerfuchs :-)
