Change color on button down instead of skinning?

You can change a buttons look as follow
<mx:Button label=""
        upSkin="@Embed('images/text_button_up.png')"
        overSkin="@Embed('images/text_button_over.png')"
        downSkin="@Embed('images/text_button_down.png')"
        disabledSkin="@Embed('images/text_button_disabled.png')"
    />
but I was wondering is there a way to change it without a graphic? I would rather specify a color for instance
upSkin: #ffffff
disabledSkin: #fcfrtr
for instance? Is this possible?

could you try using the .color property? http://www.adobe.us/livedocs/flex/2/langref/mx/controls/Button.html

How to change color of button on windows on 6i forms

currently we are porting forms from unix to windows.
All the items got the correct color but the buttons are not changing even
though if you changed it from the property window of item or canvas.
Please help !!!!!

This is because Windows sets the default color for all buttons in the windows display properties.
If you run your application on the Web, you'll have the correct color on windows clients too.

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

Drop down menu button will not change color

I have built a 6 button rollover dropdown menu bar in Flash CS4
On five of the dropdown menus I can get the buttons to change color
On the fifth dropdown I can see the button, but when rolled over I can't get the color to change.
I have moved the buttons on the fifth drop down to the first drop down button and they work perfectly.
Is this a bug in Flash CS4 or......
thank you
Sb!

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

Turning Buttons Off & Changing Color

I have 9 buttons at the top mf my scene that play 9 movie clips, but when you arrive at the clip and click the button again it replays the clip, which I don't want it to do.
For example, in many sites you will notice that when you arrive at a page, the button that took you there becomes unclickable while you are at that page and usually changes color. Is there anyone who can please give me the code (AS3) to temporarily disable the button and have it remain on the "down" frame until the user navigates away? Thank you.

What you should be able to do is set the mouseEnabled property to false for the button. If it is a SimpleButton object, and you are using AS3, you can set the upState to equal the downState.... btnName.upState = btnName.downState;
You might also consider dimming the button instead of juggling the states by setting its alpha property to something < 1.

How to create a radio button that changes colors

I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
Any ideas?

I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

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.

Theme colors - Change the color of buttons

Hi
I went through the tuttorial, "Adding Styles to Components"
I were able to change different properties of buttons by creating a Style Class with the same name as that of the theme but with different style attributes.
This had the desired effect except for the background color.
I played around abit with the style editor settings of a button with a theme applied on it, and found that when you are in the background tab of the editor and you select your desired new color, that there are no changes EXCEPT for when you select the " Repeat-y" from the "Tile" drop-down list. Only problem is you get a funny stripe through the middle of the button.
Is this the only way to change the color of buttons, linked to a theme, to a new color?
Any Advise
Thank you

To find the style properties defined in class Btn2, go to the theme's read-only css_master.css file:
In the Projects window, expand Libraries > Default Theme > com.sun.rave.web.ui.defaultheme.css.
Double-click the css_master.css file to open the file.
Search the file for the style class of interest, such as Btn2.
For example, to set a Btn2 background-color, both background-color and background-image must be defined to override the existing style class. Since you cannot make edits to the read-only css_master.css, use the style property editor to set the background-image to null and the background-color to the one desired for your component.

Does anyone know how to select text in Appleworks, click on the font button and then be able to scroll thru all the font so that one can see the text change as you scroll down the list, at present I have to do it one font style at a time and then repeat

does anyone know how to view text in Appleworks, to be able to click on the font button and then be able to scroll thru all the font so that one can see it change as you scroll down the list, at present I have to do it one font style at a time and then repeat? Thanks jl

Welcome to the Apple forums
Your question really belongs in the AppleWorks community/forum.
You can turn on fonts in actual type in the AppleWorks preferences.

Button change color on select, then change back

I have 3 buttons, named but,but2,but3. What I want is if you
click a button it changes color to show what page your on. But when
you click a different button now that one is highlighted and the
original one goes back to the original color. Here's the code.
but3.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("banner3.swf", "container");
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0 ;
I figure I have to add some kind of if statement?
}

I got it. I added this code for each button.
but.gotoAndStop(2);
but1.gotoAndStop(1);
but2.gotoAndStop(1)

DIALOGBOX.vi ‏16 KB

Hi trout00;
I think it will be better if you create your own dialog window. Create a vi with all the features you want the dialog window to perform. Edit the connectors of the vi so they return what you want to retrieve (Right-click the upper right icon in the fron panel of the vi and select "Show Connectors"). Then, edit the configuration of your vi so it behave like a dialog box (Right-click the upper right icon again and select "VI Setup..."). Finally, add your vi to your main application vi.

Changing color of arrow button in JComboBox

Hi all,
Can somebody please help me to change the color of arrow button in JComboBox

The default color uses to draw the arrow is UIManager.getColor("controlShadow"), so if you put a different color there, that would be used for the arrow buttons. Of course, that color is likely used other places as well, and so any other place where it is used would get your changed color too. For example, the scrollbar buttons for the scrollbar in the popup list would likely use that color.
Further, the current look and feel can override this; for example, the Metal L&F creates its own button, which uses its own icon which ends up using a hard-coded color of black when painting the arrow.
