Change color in shapes

I've selected the shape, double clicked it, gone to inspector, changed the color in the color chooser, but it has no effect on the selected shape. What's up?

After selecting your shape, go to the Inspector and select Graphic inspector
In the Fill pull-down select Color Fill and click on the color
The crayons or other color method should open and after you select a new color it should appear right away
if you don't pick a fill nothing will happen
hope this helps...

Changing color of shapes

I have a lot of vector shapes which I need to modify the
color of. I need to change the same colors to a different set of
colors, is there a fast way to do this?

there is! :) called 'edit multiple frames' here some info:
http://forums.flashgods.org/editing-multiple-frames-t447.html
however this writing doesn't include the concept that once
you have 'selected' all of the needed frames, you can 'click' on
one of the shapes within any frame (while they are all still
selected) and then change them as a group. but this will only work
with vector shapes, not graphics or MCs (which should work out for
you just fine) but be careful that you only selected the shapes or
layer(s) that have similar shapes you wish to change or it will
change them all.

How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.

How to change colors in 2 different shapes one at the time?

I have 4 different groups. Every group has 4 different shapes/colors. If i change Group 1 Shape 1 color then I want that Shape 2 in Group 2 color would be automatically same as Shape 1 in Group 1. Is it possible?

That can be done in Illustrator, if vector-based artwork is a possible alternative.
Have a look at the concept of a "global color" in Illustrator.
This concept does not have a direct counterpart in Photoshop. Indexed colour mode comes close—but an image in indexed colour mode can't have layers.

ALL SHAPES LAYERS SUDDENLY CHANGED COLOR WITH SOME ACCIDENTALLY USED KEYBOARD SHORT CUT PLEASE HELP

I was working away in photoshop on an INCREDIBLY important file and suddenly all of my shape layers inverted... there is NOTHING in the history and I have literally tried everything I can think of. this is seriously a crucial issue and i really need this to be fixed. if ANYONE knows anything please help. I'm posting a screenshot of what it looked like and what it looks like now. naturally adobe wont let me call them or do ANYTHING to get immediate help with this absolutely infuriating problem so if someone out there could help that would be great. SERIOUSLY regretting using photoshop, it is so infuriating even after 7 years of using it.
^^ this is what the colors looked like
and VV this is what they look like now. as far as i can tell, its only the shape layers that have changed color. I have tried everything and nothing works.
roughly, all the yellow turned green and all the red and white turned black? I have no idea. please PLEASE someone help me.

The colors are present even when I exported Jpegs from the photoshop file. Gamut warning is off. the difficult thing with screenshots is that the image appears in different colors at different sizes... which is bizzare.. at the full shape, some of the shape layers appear fine as pictured below
and then when i zoom in this happens

Changing the Color of Shapes

For some reason when I insert a new shape its always a dark red color and I can't seem to find how to adjust it. When I select it and use the Color button it doesn't change it at all. Any ideas?

I see this is marked as answered.
If not the color of the shape is changed from the shape area of the inspector.

Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!

Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.

Can I change color of all objects at ones ?

Hello guys
I understand that's very fundamental question, and I promise I search the forum prior to posting, but perhaps it's my bad english and wrong phrasing, that leads to poor results. So if that has been discuss, please kindly don't waste your time, just link me to the post and I will read away.
I have very complex file, with hundreds of paths, shapes, text, outlined text, etc... It's a brochure with graphs, scematich drawings and text.
Last moment, the client like the reverse the colors from (current) Black on white, to all White on dark gray background.
Problem is, I can't seem to find easy way to just change the colors, without selecting one by one, every single object. When I selest all and choose white, it start filling paths with solid fill... Editing it wastes allot of my time and I have many pages to do.
Is there any way to simple change color of everything at once, just from black to white ? Or do I have to go object by object manually ?
Thank you very much, for all the help so far, and I'm sincerly sorry to waste your time if that has been covered previously.
Good day
ciao ciao
Monika

Thank you both for such prompt follow up. I know it's just typing and it's easy but I sincerly mean it. Thank you.
The INVERT work on some images.
The "SAME" seem to work funny way. When I select STROKE COLOR, it does nothing, but when I select WIGHT then it does and in fact I'm able to change lots of strokes at once with ease. Even tho I'm left with few small bits here and there which I need to change manually, it is certainly far better than doing one by one.
Thanks a lot for the help, it's what I was looking for.
By the way I not once used the SAME menu. Feel so lame, given I use AI (not daily but often) for few years now... Shame.
Thank you and you guys have a great day
xoxo

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

Moving a rectangle or change color in "Run-Time "?

First step, the objects of decoration you can modify its properties in "Run-Time "?
Moving a rectangle or change color in "Run-Time "?
I want to develop a mini SCADA application, where I have to do some animations usingsimple objects like Shapes.

Yes, it is possible to modify decorations in runtime. An example is below.
As you can see, you just need to get a reference to the front panel containing the decoraitions, and then use the Decos[] property to get an array of references to the decorations. These can be passed to a property node.
Unfortunately, the decorations cannot be given a unique identifier, such as a label. So if you have multiple decorations, it can be tricky to modify the properties of a specific one. If you are only dealing with one shape, this won't be an issue. One roundabout way to pick out a particular decoration would be to search through the array references until you find the one with matching size and location on the front panel. Alternatively, you could use a disabled control, such as a boolean push button with no caption, and refer to that directly.
Hope this helps.

Changing color though it does not change

Using CS3, I double click on the foreground color and enter CMYK colors and use the Rectangle tool to draw a shape on screen.
Next, I double click on the foreground color again and enter different CMYK colors and use the Rectangle tool to draw a new shape. Even though the foreground color properly reflects the newly added second color, it still uses the original color.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

After you draw the fist rectangle, you have to click on the Color swatch at the far right of the Rectangle Tool option bar to change colors.

Pen tool changing colors on gradient when saving

I am having issues when I save a file.
The shapes I have created (with the pen tool) and added specific gradients to, change colors. When I reopen the fill all the shapes have changed to the two colors that are currently on the foreground and background. Hence all the gradients are just those two colors and all the work matching and adding colors has been lost.
What am I doing or not doing that will prevent this from happening?

Which operating system are you using?
You need to go to Help>Updates in photoshop to install the latest updates.
If in photoshop cs6, if you go to Help>System Info and look at the top line, what version does it say?

Newbie Help! changing color

Hey guys, new to After Effects and Ai.....so basically I imported an Ai file into illustrator and animated it....it's just the letter (H). I want the H to turn from green to blue, I opened the change color effects just fine and selected it and made the key frames on the correct layer but it just isn't changing, even as a working preview the colors just don't change but all the other animation and effects work. Is it because it doesn't have a fill? or do I have to make it a shape?

I'd make a second separate letter in Illustrator in the color you want -- on a different LAYER... why is it that illustrator people so often ignore layers, anyway?... import the new illustrator document as a comp into AE, then match up the positions and animate the opacity of the layer with the second colored letter.

Changing the JButton shape

Hi All,
The shape of JButton is usually a rectangle
=========
btnName
=========
but I want to change it's shape to Triangle or Circle like this
o
oooo
o o
o bntN o
ooooooooooo
can I do that with swing?
Please help.
Thanks,
Long

The easiest thing to do would be to create a triangular icon and put it on your button, then make the background of the button the same color as the background of the rest of your page. You may also need to remove the border by doing
setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));

Why do I get a program error when changing colors?

I get a 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to change colors on both the forground/background palette or from the color picker palette. Is there a patch for this?
I am using Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.x64

Hi. Because this forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
