Question

This is an example of the code I have.
When the mobile application opens, you can type your desired colour (E.g. #811fb4 for a purple-ish colour), and when you click the button it should change the label colour.
However lbl1.color does not work. Any ideas?

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Custom Colour">

<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        public var customColourChosen:String;

        protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
            customColourChosen = txtInput1.text;
            lbl1.color = customColourChosen; // <------ //
        }

    ]]>
</fx:Script>

<s:Label id="lbl1" x="144" y="104" fontSize="36" text="Label"/>
<s:TextInput id="txtInput1" x="50" y="138"/>
<s:Button x="124" y="212" label="Button" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:View>

Answer 1

lbl1.setStyle('color', 0xff0000);

this way you can even use purple I think.. 🙂
