Fri Oct 1 00:02:34 BST 2010

Googled setStyleProperty + highlight3D and found a chunk of code for changing scrollbar colours.

Cool. I knew of arrow and face (I’ve used those to style
buttons, including the combobox button, which uses arrow for the downwards
pointing triangle). I’ve been looking for a list of the other properties. Where
did you find the other properties?

ooh, ooh, Mr. Cahtah, Mr.Cahtah!

Way better than drawRect.

Found a few others. 

Adding darkshadow has a nice effect.

//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("arrow", 0xFF0000);

engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("highlight", 0xFFFFFF);

engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("highlight3D", 0xFF0000);

//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("shadow", 0xFF99CC);

engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("darkshadow", 0xFF0000);

//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("scrollTrack", 0xCC6666);

//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("face", 0xFFCCCC);

Thanks Paul. Nice nugget.

ckbox.setStyleProperty('highlight', 0x00FF00);

ckbox.setStyleProperty('highlight3D', 0x00FF00);

I’m not sure of all the style property names, but the two above
will make at least part of the border of a checkbox green. I’m sure there are
some other style property names that will finish it off, if you can find a list
of property names somewhere.

Ok, I tried a dummy file and it looks like
when I try to draw into an rs (like a checkbox) the default colour is yellow
and lineweight 1.

The rs has a drawRect function, so I guess that's why it will accept the
direction.

There is a setStyleProperty and updateStyleProperty in the rs.

Are those for addressing text styles only, or can I goose them to affect the
drawRect?

Clear()

Then lineStyle()

How do I change the colour of the outline of a code drawn artifact:

//engine[cboxArray[i]].beginFill(0xFF0000,100); //doesn't work

//engine[cboxArray[i]].lineStyle(3,0xFF0000,100); //doesn't work

engine[cboxArray[i]].drawRect(-3,-3,16,16);

Cheers,

Dave
