Input TextField text color [SOLVED]

[Doccie]

Hey all,

 

I wanted to tween the text color of an input textfield, using the tint or ColorTransform plugins, but it seems that as soon as you set the border and background color of a textfield, you can't tween the text color anymore, but instead, it tweens the background color of the text field.

 

Is there any way around this?

When you tween the tint of a DisplayObject (a TextField is a DisplayObject), it affects EVERY PIXEL of the DisplayObject. So yes, that includes the background if you have one. That has nothing to do with TweenLite/Max specifically, though - it's just how Flash works.

 

If you want to only affect the text, you'd need to use the hexColors plugin to tween the hex value of the text and then use an onUpdate to apply it to the text each time it updates.

Thanks for the fast reply Jack

I'm gonna try and see if I can come up with something that works.
