Color Picker
Hi,

I need to make a color picker. I have an image in my flashmovie which the user can color. So they can color the hair brown or yellow, etc.
I can make them choose from 20 colors ( I attach the hexadecimal code to the colorbutton), this I can do. I can also make a textfield in which you can type the code yourself. But I want the user to choose from all colors from a colorcircle. This are 6 million colors or something, so I don;t want to do it manually.

Is it possible to substract the color from an image? In this image will be all the colors. Can anyone help???

thanks in advance.

Color Picker
i am working on a project at the office. i am making a visual display aid where the customer can change the color of their car to simulate paint jobs. what i did was i took a picture of a car and then convert it to semi transparent png. and then i took the car's shape on a new layer and filled it with a solid black.

and then in macromedia flash, i superimposed the transparent image over the black one and then change the black image to a movie clip so the user can change the value of the color via three sliders (much like the one in the flash tut).

the problem in that the transparent image doesnt act solely as a highlight/shadow layer. it also carries with it the original color of the original car.

which is very annoying because if i make it too tranparent, the car would lose its contour and if i raise the opacity, the final color of the car wouldnt be right.

how do i seperate the highlights (and shadows) and the color of the car so i can make the color of the car totally tranparent?

i have been at it for so long my eyes are getting blurry....

[CS3] I Need A Color Picker, Please.
hellooooo. i'm havin a real hard time tryin to find a color picker that i can easily use. I'm making an interactive flash file that has a color picker for different colors of an object. the object would most likely be a bunch of individual movieclips. for instance, if the object was a smiley face, one color picker for the circle color, one color picker for the eyes, and one color picker for the smile. it would be great if i could have a variable that has the RGB color value of the last color clicked to keep for other uses. i've used many. if someone could point me in the right direction or show me some code that'd be AMAZING. thanks all.

Mulitple Text Fields - Same Color
Hopefully there is an easy solution for this, I'm an actionscript beginner and can't think of any way of doing this..

I have several dynamic text fields called "field1" "field2" "field3" etc. Is there a way I can assign the same text color to all of these fields without doing something like this:

field1.textColor = 0x0000CC;
field2.textColor = 0x0000CC;

?

Color Picker Sample
I'm using the script from the color picker sample to change the color of a movie clip at runtime.

I have a picture of a car with an overlay that changes to create the appearance of a changing paint color. I have everything working except i need to set the alpha for the movieclip lower so you can see the picture behind it.

I want the alpha to be set permanently at 35% without a slider. I used a "setProperty" command to change the movieclip but it changes to solid. how do set a permanent alpha?


Code:
// create colors
carColor = new Color(car);
color1 = new Color(previewbox);
color2 = new Color(chip.chipfill);
//
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set c1, c2, c3, hc1, hc2, and hc3 equal to the positions of their respective faders and vice versa
for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
this["color"+i].setRGB(rgb);
this["hexc"+i+"Text"].onKillFocus = function() {
hexMode = false;
};
this["hexc"+i+"Text"].onSetFocus = function() {
hexMode = true;
};
fader = this["fader"+i].knob;
if (dragging) {
this["c"+i] = fader._y;
this["hc"+i] = this["c"+i].toString(16);
} else {
if (hexMode) {
fader._y = parseInt("0x"+this["hc"+i]);
this["c"+i] = parseInt("0x"+this["hc"+i]);
} else {
fader._y = this["c"+i];
this["hc"+i] = Number(this["c"+i]).toString(16);
if (this["c"+i]>255) {
this["c"+i] = 255;
}
}
}
}
//
// combine c1, c2, and c3 into one variable using bitwise left shift and bitwise OR
rgb = (c1 << 16 | c2 << 8 | c3);
};
//
// make color chip draggable when preview box is clicked
//
// hide color chip and stop dragging when mouse button is released, and set car color if chip is
// droppped on the car or the apply button is clicked
previewBox.onRelease = swatchDrop;
previewBox.onReleaseOutside = swatchDrop;
//
function swatchDrop() {
with (chip) {
if (car.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
carColor.setRGB(rgb);
}
_y = -20;
stopDrag();
}
}
apply.onRelease = function() {
carColor.setRGB(rgb);
};
//
// set color values equal to the color of the clicked button
swatch1.onRelease = function() {
c1 = 127;
c2 = 0;
c3 = 97;
};
swatch2.onRelease = function() {
c1 = 130;
c2 = 0;
c3 = 0;
};
swatch3.onRelease = function() {
c1 = 10;
c2 = 106;
c3 = 0;

c3 = 127;
};

Creating A Color Picker
hello, what im basicly tring to make is this http://www.clydesheds.com/template/Quaker.swf however i dont know how to start it i found something that will do somewhat the same thing but not really because it uses colors instead of the images, what i want to do is bring my image and be able to change the color of the roof and so on using symbols or whatever

myColor = new Color(_root.carColor);
//Declare path and function for 4 color button objects
_root.blue.onRelease = function(){
myColor.setRGB(0x0000ff)
}
_root.red.onRelease = function(){
myColor.setRGB(0xff0000)
}
_root.green.onRelease = function(){
myColor.setRGB(0x00ff00)
}
_root.black.onRelease = function(){
myColor.setRGB(0x000000)
}

this is what i found but it uses colors only, i want to be able to click on the button and replace what is there for a graphic symbol. any help is appreciated

Help With Color Picker Component Please?
I am using a friends computer and he has flash cs3. I am just trying to teach myself how to put a "colorpicker" component on my webpage and use it as a UI for the person veiwing my page to change the color of an object.
For instance:



I want to use this colorpicker component, instance name - cPa
to change the color of this box dynamically box instance name - boxa
I don't know anything about action script.

I don't know how to get the rgb value from cPa after somebody chooses a color and apply it to the movie clip boxa. I know this is very simple but I can't figure it out. I am very new to flash. About all I can do is make tweened animations.
As you can see I can get the color picker on the stage and draw a box then convert it to a "movie clip" but, that's about all.

Color Picker Issues
hey guys,

OK, so i have this problem. i am working with a couple of color pickers. and i can select the colors just fine but i can't change them after i have made a selection.

VerifyError: Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at fl.controls::ColorPicker/onSwatchClick()

now i have read about this being common, but i need a workaround... here's what i have that works the first time but as i soon as i got to change the color spaz's:

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
cp.colors = new Array(took out the long array )
cp.selectedColor = cp.colors[0];
cp.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,
function changeHandler(evt:Event):void {
var tf:TextField = outputTB1 as TextField;
fmt.color = cp.selectedColor;
tf.setTextFormat(fmt);
}
);

any help is again appreciated

Color Picker For Drawing API
I used Color Picker components from Flash CS3 on the stage for allowing me to pick any colors for drawing api.

I put the codes:

ActionScript Code:
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
    graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down);
    cpColor.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, changeHandler);
}

function down(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,1);
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, startDraw);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, up);
   
}

function startDraw(event:Event):void
{
    graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
}

function up(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, startDraw);
}

clear_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, clearCanvas);


function clearCanvas(event:Event):void
{
    graphics.clear();
}

I played the screen and I didn't see the error output, but color change is not working when I picked to draw on the screen.

can you tell me why it does not work? thank you

Add-on Color Picker / Space
Does anyone else agree that the color picker in flash is weak?

I am colorblind and need all the help I can get when choosing colors. I don't understand why they don't just integrate the same color picker that is in photoshop.

Is there any kind of add on or upgrade for cs4 that will give me a more sophisticated color picker? One with sliders, HSB RGB CMYK and LAB (ideally)

Issue With Color Picker
I have a coloring book functionality. The user can select a color from a color picker palette and apply it to part of a person on the stage.

The color the user chooses is bleeding or the borders of the picture.

For example if the user chooses purple to paint the persons face the color bleeds over the outline of the character's eyes a few pixels.

or

the chosen color of the shirt bleeds into the color of the buttons a little.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Color Swatch Picker
I'm trying to make a color-swatch picker for a real estate site (swatches for house colors). I did a pretty good job (for me) of actionScripting the swatches. But I think I need assistance...

In the .fla the swatches gray MCs with related AS linked through separate AS/text files (which define's the swatch's color). They're text files so the client can change the hex numbers without knowing Flash. There's also a Tool Tip that shows the model number on mouseover, but this is NOT in that text file.

There are nine swatches, so I have nine different AS/text files for them.

How can I make it so all the info for swatch colors AND tooltips are in one AS/text file rather than in several? Would this be some sort of array? (I'm not sure how to set that up.)

Generate Color Picker
Hi,

I'm trying to make a color picker / swatch similar to the one in flash but I can't seem to go in the right direction,

there are 6x6x6 colors to be displayed in order, from top left 000000 to bottom right FFFFFF.
In each 6x6 square, horizontal adds Green, vertical adds Blue, each 6x6 square adds a shade of red.

The hex values for a color are : 00,33,66,99,CC,FF. each of them adds 1/5 of 255(51) to the color...

I've got the drawing part ok but what I'm missing is an array of color...


Any help / hint / advice / comment would be greatly appreciated.

Color Picker Problem
hi guys ... i have this simple color picker class, that creates a group of coloured squares, based on an array ... each of the boxes has a mouse click event listener linked to the colorSquareRelease function .... what i need to be able to do in the function is trace out the specific i value that relates to the square you clicked on. e.g if I click on the red square, I want to be able to trace out 3.

I used to be able to do this easily in as2 using a different method, but not in as3.

I hope someone can help

Regards

Flash Hex Color Picker Help
Im looking for a simple hex color picker, preferably with 256 colors.

i found a few on flashkit.com, but they were not customizable, i.e. you would have to go through and change each button to call your function.

anyone know of a free one of these that was made so you can customize the function call?

How Do I Change The Background Color Of Text Fields?
Hi,

Is there a way to change the background color of a text field? I have a text field with the border enabled, and the background color of the field changes to white. I would like to change its color to another color (or even to transparent, if possible), but I can't find a way to do it at design time.

I know that it is possible to change the color with ActionScript using the backgroundColor property, or even disabling it with the background property, but I didn't find anything about doing that on the Flash interface.

Can someone help me?

Best regards
Norberto

Eye Dropper-Like Color Picker - You All Said It Was Impossible
A while back I said it was possible to make a color picker. Everyone said it was impossible. Now, I didn't make this one. I haven't even tried yet, been busy with other stuff. But I just had to show you it was possible.

http://www.flashcomponents.net/compo...m?nav=2&id=113

If you look at his code, it pretty clever even if it does not detect the color like a real eye dropper tool.

Gradient Drawing API Color Picker
Hey,
Here is some code that I just thought I would share. Just paste it into a 550 x 125 pixel movie and it should work fine. Its all code driven and there are no "real" movieclips in it. Any suggestions would be appreciated on how to make it better.
Whats wrong with it? The only thing I could see is that the color doesn't exactly match up with the color the mouse is over. If anyone has any good ideas for that please pass it along. One thing I'd like to do is dynamically generate the colors array based on the distance of the mouseover gradient bar and color spectrum that are needed. Anyway, hope you enjoy.


Code:

//extend the movieclip class so its easier to set the RGB value of a clip - thanks to Robert Penner for this one.
MovieClip.prototype.setRGB = function(colorValue) {
new Color(this).setRGB(colorValue);
}


// create an empty clip to draw to
gradient_mc = createEmptyMovieClip("gradient", 4);
box_mc = createEmptyMovieClip("box", 3);

function drawGrad() {
gradient_mc.clear();
// define 6 colors
colors = [0xFF0000, 0xFFFF00, 0x00FF00, 0x00FFFF, 0x0000FF, 0xFF00FF];
// all of the colors should be opaque
alphas = [100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100];
ratios = [0x0, 0x33, 0x66, 0x99, 0xCC, 0xFF];
// this takes the mouse position and gets the angle from the
// middle of the gradient as radians.
angle = 0;
// this is our matrix
matrix = {matrixType:"box", x:50, y:50, w:500, h:500, r:angle};
// put all that together in the beginGradientFill
gradient_mc.beginGradientFill("linear", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
// draw the bounding box
gradient_mc.lineStyle(1, 0xffffff, 100);
gradient_mc.moveTo(50, 50);
gradient_mc.lineTo(500, 50);
gradient_mc.lineTo(500, 65);
gradient_mc.lineTo(50, 65);
gradient_mc.lineTo(50, 50);
// close up the fill
gradient_mc.endFill();

updateAfterEvent();
}

function drawBox() {

//box_mc.lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF, 100); // we dont want an outline.
box_mc.beginFill(0x333333, 100);
box_mc.moveTo(0,0);
box_mc.lineTo(550, 0);
box_mc.lineTo(550, 125);
box_mc.lineTo(0, 125);
box_mc.lineTo(0,0);
box_mc.endFill();
}

function changeBackground() {

var colors = new Array("FF0000", "FF1100", "FF2200","FF3300","FF4400","FF5500","FF6600","FF7700","FF8800","FF9900","FFAA00","FFBB00","FFCC00","FFDD00","FFEE00","FFFF00", "EEFF00","DDFF00","CCFF00","BBFF00","AAFF00","99FF00","88FF00","77FF00","66FF00","55FF00","44FF00","33FF00","22FF00","11FF00","00FF00", "00FF11","00FF22","00FF33","00FF44","00FF55","00FF66","00FF77","00FF88","00FF99","00FFAA","00FFBB","00FFCC","00FFDD","00FFEE","00FFFF", "00EEFF","00DDFF","00CCFF","00BBFF","00AAFF","0099FF","0088FF","0077FF","0066FF","0055FF","0044FF","0033FF","0022FF","0011FF","0000FF", "1100FF","2200FF","3300FF","4400FF","5500FF","6600FF","7700FF","8800FF","9900FF","AA00FF","BB00FF","CC00FF","DD00FF","EE00FF","FF00FF");
//50 is the offset from the left edge of the movie to where the gradient bar begins. I derived 6 by dividing 450 (length of the gradient bar) by the length of the array, to distribute the color spectrum evenly. Obviously its not perfect but still looks cool.
if (Math.floor(_root._xmouse - 50) % 6 == 0) {
box_mc.setRGB("0x"+ colors[Math.floor(_root._xmouse - 50)/6]);
}

}

// call the functions
drawGrad();
drawBox();

gradient_mc.onRollOver = function() {
mouseOver = true;
changeBackground();
}

gradient_mc.onRollOut = function() {
mouseOver = false;
box_mc.setRGB("0x333333");
}


gradient_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
if (mouseOver) {
changeBackground();
}
}

Color Picker For Image Not In Flas
Is it possible to detect the color of the desktop below the mouse? I want to make a very small Flash widget that will allow me to detect the color of a pixel in an image on a web page (not inside a Flash app) and then display it or pass it through to a web form.
Is this possible?
