I'm looking for a way to customize the text, color, and size of a radio button
in my flash presentation. I only ask because I have a dark background, and
need a light text. Thanks for the help.

apply a style format to the instance names of your radiobuttons,

aformat = new FStyleFormat();
aformat.textColor = 0x59DF60;
aformat.textSize = 18;
aformat.textIndent = 10;

aformat.applyChanges();
aformat.addListener(rb1,rb2,rb3,rb22);

Ok, so when you say:

aformat = new FStyleFormat();
aformat.textColor = 0x59DF60;
aformat.textSize = 18;
aformat.textIndent = 10;

aformat.applyChanges();
aformat.addListener(rb1,rb2,rb3,rb22); <--This Line

is there an easier way to state ALL radio buttons should receive that format?
I will have 140 radio buttons within my movie, and I want them all to look the
same. How can this effect be achieved?

~Brett

apply a global style format, note that this will affect all components,

function setGS(){
globalStyleFormat.face = 0x7DC6BD;
globalStyleFormat.highlight3D = 0x7DC6BD;
globalStyleFormat.textIndent = 10;
globalStyleFormat.textSize = 18;
globalStyleFormat.textColor = 0x59DF60;
globalStyleFormat.applyChanges();
};
setGS();

Ok, I understand that. Thank you.

My only question is in your styleface, and textcolor you have 0xZZZZZZ. How
do I get those numbers and letters so that I get the look and feel of what i
want?

~Brett

0xZZZZZZ is the hex of the color you set,
open the Color Mixer, click inside the color panel
and drag the lightness/darkness handle to see
the hex number for that color. apply it to your format.

Ok, so it's still not working.

Is the OxZZZZZZ number the RGB or is it the normal #00FF00 you would use in
HTML font coloring?

Also, where can I find the .face hex numbers to change the font? (<-- if it's
possible)

Thanks.
