Possible to change color of text in a text layer?

Hi There,
Is it possible to change the color value of a text layer via ExtendScript? I scanned the documentation, but didn't immediately notice anything that would let me get to that property. Is it possible? If not, are there any workarounds?
Thanks,
Arie

It's in the AE CS6 scripting guide:

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?

I think it is very nice to include vnc server right into Leopard. But one problem, it seems it will only accept connection from clients when it is set to use full colors. This is painfully slow over WAN, any way to change the requirement from the server end?

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?
Yes you can modify your screen sharing application so that you can adjust the colour depth. However you need to issue a command in the terminal to get this to work.

Is it possible to change the selectedTab text color in SPRY Tabs?

Was working with SPRY tabs and the client would like the font color to change to white on roll over and select.
Is this possible through simply adding a single line of code to the css file of the SPRY file under
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected {
    height: 46px;
    width: 168px;
    background-color: #a7b9c3;
    color: #f7f7f7;
as you can see I already attempted to change the color and wasn't able to achieve the results on
http://ebnerproductions.com/index22.html
If it is possible, awesome, if not, I will replace with rollover images to get the desired result.

Thank you again to everyone in the forum as you have all helped me big time in the last couple of days!!!!!

I've gone through the coding now for a couple of days and still cannot get the font color to change on select.
I tried to inserted the recommended
<style>
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected,
.TabbedPanelsTabHover {
     color: #FFF;
</style>
coding that was offered earlier, and it did nothing....
here is the CSS for my tabbed panels... PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG, OR FORGOT!!!!

Shy layers? I see the words "Music Party" in two text layers in the timeline. Here's what you do:
Double-click on one of the text layers to highlight all the characters in the layer. Go to the Character Pane and change the color. Double-click on the other text layer. Instead of changing the color in the Character pane, use the eyedropper to match the color of the first layer.

Is it possible to change color on the line strip/code view in CS6?

Hello -
I did some research on this and cant seem to see if this can be done - I was hoping to change the color of the blue line menu on the code view screen.
Eric

I take it you're referring to that vertical line in the left hand side of Code View? I don't think it's possible to change the color. If you disable line numbers (#), it's a bit less noticeable.

ExtendScript Illustrator - Change color of text one character at a time.

I'm trying to write code for ExtendScript ToolKit to target Illustrator. I've been writing in JavaScript, but am open to switching to AppleScript if needed. The goal of the code is to change the characters in a text box one by one to the color of the image behind that letter. The end goal is to have the color of the text create the image.
Basically, I select a character. And lets say that character is at 720x648 (in pixels) in a 24x36 in image. Then I detect the color in the image layer at that location. Then turn the selected character to that color.
I have encountered two problems, finding a way to have the script detect the color of the picture at a given location (ideally in pixels) and then change that one character to that color.
So far my code is this, with a color hard coded in for testing purposes since I haven't figured out the detection part yet.
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
//get text from textbox
var numChars = 0;
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[0].contents;
numChars += textArtRange.length;
//loop through to select characters one at a time
for (x=0; x<numChars; x++){
     var selectChar=textArtRange.charAt(x)
     doc.characterStyles.removeAll();
     var charStyle=doc.characterStyles.add("NewOne");
     var charAttr=charStyle.characterAttributes;
     var detectedColor = new RGBColor();   //ideally the detected color would go here. But for now it is hard coded.
         detectedColor.red = 242;
         detectedColor.green = 51;
         detectedColor.blue = 51;
     charAttr.fillColor = detectedColor;
     charStyle.applyTo(selectChar); // I got an error here: "Object expected".
}//end for loop
To detect the color, I tried using the following code, but it only works in Photoshop and even there I can't find a way to store that color the way I need to.
app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll();
var pixelLoc = [UnitValue(16) , UnitValue(16)];
var myColorSampler = app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add(pixelLoc);
I have put in so many hours into this and just want to rip my hair out. Any help or guidance anyone can give would be SO appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

finding a way to have the script detect the color of the picture at a given location (ideally in pixels)
there's no native command to do this in illustrator,
I tried using the following code, but it only works in Photoshop.....
unless you get extremely lucky (working with matching Object names) photoshop code won't work in Illustrator.
a possible workaround, clip your text to your image, rasterize it, trace it, you might end up with a solid color per character, where you could read their color.

Change color of text in one field to white on a invoice form

Hello,
I have the following problem:
On our invoice document, I defined a frame in the upper left corner, where I want to print some steering signs
For our postal machine.
I want to change the printing colour only for the content of the defined field to u201Cwhiteu201D instead of black like the rest.
I found settings like, bold, underlined, hidden.... but nothing with color
Is there any possibility to do that ?
If yes can you give me a guide or whatever on information you have ??
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thread is not clear.If it is only printing of symbols you can do like this way.Add a Text node in SAP Smartform .Click the Change Editor buton to continue with a more advanced text editor.Then select characters,special symbols.

Changing color of text in the input field

hi
when i disable the input field , the text written in it has very light color. How can i change the color of the displayed text in the input field.

Hi Harsimran,
changing the text color of an input field is not possible. However, you can build a workaround:
1. take an expression box, place it exactly over your input field
2. change its text color and take the value of your input field as value being displayed
3. instead of making your input field disabled, make it hidden and show the expression box instead.
Thus, instead of enabling/disabling your input field, switch between expression box/input field to be displayed. I hope it's clear what I mean. If not, don't hesitate to ask again.
Best regards,
Benni

Edit a png file... change colors and text and then export to gif?

First I want to state that I am VERY new to Fireworks and I am trying to figure out how this works! I typically use Photoshop.
I was sent a PNG file (from a friend). The file has many buttons on it that I believe are somehow saved or exported out as gif images to be buttons on her website. All of the buttons are basic rectangles that are gray with black text. She was told she could edit all of the buttons quickly in Fireworks (change their color, font color, etc) and it would change them all together. Then save them all out so we would have the individual gif files for the buttons to save to the directory.
So... I am able to open the png file in Fireworks and I can select each button or all of them, but I cannot see how to change their color and font, etc. I know this must be very simple! Can someone help me?
Thank you!
Sharlyn

Have a look in the ocument Library panel to see if the buttons are Symbols. If yes, then double click on one of the buttons to open it in the symbol editor where you can easily make changes in all of them at once.

Typeface changes automatically when changing color on text within a bullet

Something very weird is happening when I change the color of the typeface within a bullet. As soon as I click on the new color in the Colors palette, the typeface changes to another typeface (one that doesn't even show up in the Fonts palette, so I don't even know what it is). I went back to make sure the slide master had the correct typeface, which it does, and I have the typeface installed on my computer.
This does NOT happen when I select the entire bullet, just when I select text WITHIN the bullet.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Many thanks for any help you might provide.

Is there a character style applied to the table or text in the table. I had many issues with this over-riding my paragraph style.

3D not possible to change color

When I type some text, I convert it to outlines. Then I apply the filter 3D >> extrude and bevel. Then I select the 3D text, select object >> expand appearance. Then I use the wand tool to select the different faces, I then want to change the color of the different faces but whatever I try, it always remains a greyscale!!
What am I doing wrong?? Thanks!!

When you outlined the text, it stopped being text. It became a group of paths.
When you expanded the 3D Effect, it stopped being a live Effect. It became a dumb set of many, many paths.
You don't have to convert text to outlines before applying 3D Effect.
You don't have to Expand 3D Effect results in order to re-color it.
But if you've already done all that, you have a Group, probably containing a kazillion paths (depending upon your 3D Effects settings). You can direct-select (white pointer) objects within that Group to re-color them individually. Or, you can globally alter their color at once by using the Edit<Edit Colors commands (depending on software version, which you did not provide.)
