Colour Picker / Colour Transform
Hi...

This query has been bugging me for a little while, and it may be easy to answer, I don't know.

I'm using a fairly simple colour transform script to change the tint of a mc...
code:
myColor = new Color(_root.bgdvideo);
if(!ccc){_root.bgdvideo.setRGB(0x990000);
}else{
myColor.setRGB(ccc);
}
MovieClip.prototype.beginFade = function(dstX, durationOfFade) {
this.myColor = new Color(this);
this.srcX = this.myColor.getTransform();
this.dstX = dstX;
this.startOfFade = getTimer();
this.durationOfFade = durationOfFade;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var r = (getTimer()-this.startOfFade)/this.durationOfFade;
if (r>1) {
r = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
var tX = {ra:this.srcX.ra*(1-r)+this.dstX.ra*r, rb:this.srcX.rb*(1-r)+this.dstX.rb*r, ga:this.srcX.ga*(1-r)+this.dstX.ga*r, gb:this.srcX.gb*(1-r)+this.dstX.gb*r, ba:this.srcX.ba*(1-r)+this.dstX.ba*r, bb:this.srcX.bb*(1-r)+this.dstX.bb*r, aa:this.srcX.aa*(1-r)+this.dstX.aa*r, ab:this.srcX.ab*(1-r)+this.dstX.ab*r};
this.myColor.setTransform(tX);
ccc = this.myColor.getRGB();
};
};

I know you have to change the ra, rb, (etc) values to alter the colour which you get (as in)...
code:
_root.bgdvideo.beginFade({ra:50, rb:204, ga:0, gb:0, ba:50, bb:255, aa:100, ab:100}, 1000);
...but I wondered if anyone knows a trick / way to find out the values you'd put in for (ra, rb, etc) to get a particular colour, rather than just aimlessly playing around with different values until you get the desired colour fade you want (which takes some time for me!)

Cheers

A Colour Palette For Colour Matching
I'm new to actionscript and trying to creating a pretty simple colour palette which can let users to choose up to 8 different colours. First of all users will be presented with a range of different shades, and each time they choose a colour it can be saved to a movie clip, so finally they will have all 8 movie clips showing all the colours they've chosen.

The way I do is create a movie clip that contain all the colour shades in the palette in different frames. Then make 8 copies of it and give them different instance names. When the user come to select a colour then the movie clip will change to that colour, keep it, then the other colour will go to the second movie clip... and so on... I've tried different ways to simulate the saving function but it still doesn't work (one of them is using if / else statement on the button and declare different Number value on the movie clips)

Pls bare with me if my explaination is not clear... but any help will be greatly appreciated!! Pls tell me if you got idea how to do it or any similar work that you've done. I can also email / msn the file if you wanna have a look. Thanks in advance!! vinkc@hotmail.com

Slider To Scroll Thumbnail Mc W/ Buttons Inside...onRollover Text Moves With Slider
I'm using a slider to scroll a movieclip made up of thumbnail images that are buttons. When I put my mouse over each button, I want it the image to change from black and white to color, and for a text description to appear in one fixed location on the main stage. Right now the image change to color is working, and the text appears as well, BUT the text scrolls as well, since it's within the scrolling movieclip. I want the text to appear static at a fixed location of: x=-947 and y=65. HELP!!!

It should look similar to: http://www.ehdd.com

Here's my code:

for my movieclip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.scrollMC._x = -.295*(_root.slider.b);
}

for my slider (set to scroll along "path"):
on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, 4, 270, 802,270);
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
a = new Object();
a.y = this._y;
a.x = this._x;
_root.path.globalToLocal (a);
b = int(a.x*2);
}

Volume Slider -- How Do I Center Slider?
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm

Using the tutorial above, the volume slider always starts at the left end which is starting to become annoying because you always have to move it in order to listen.

How can I place it in the center? I've attempted just dragging it in the middle while editing, but the file ends up not working.

Colour Changes By Day
Hello all,

I'm new to the forum - thanks in advance for any help.

I have an idea, but so far that's all it is.

I'd like to have a flash animation, with my logo, a small animation and...

I'd like the background of the flash file to change depending on what day of the week it is.

E.G.

array
If today = Monday, background colour = blue;
" " = Tuesday, background colour = green....

and so on.

Any help is much appreicated.

After that, I'd like to do the same with Javascript, but thats for another section.

Colour Problem
Hi,

Could you please help.....

I have assigned a hex color to a variable and fed this to a
movie clip using new color (variable) and then setrgb etc.

This changes the color of my mc but all i want to change is the Fill color or background not any text or other stuff on the same instance. Is this possible without having to layer all of my text etc....

The code used is as follows on an instance of change ........

onClipEvent (load) {
ToColour = new Color(change);
ToColour.setRGB(0x003399);
}

cheers

Colour Looks Grainy
My nav bar in my flash movie looks cool on my pooter, but its backgournd comes up grainy on the nasty ones the university has in the public computer rooms.

Is this cos my colour is not web safe, or is it cos it's got an Alpha effect on it?! I have to change every #@**P@~ symbol in every movie now so I don't wanna get it wrong again!

I Need A Ttraparent Like Colour
I was looking a movie done by some one else. In it he created a button that had a dotted like transparent colour. I know he did not add any effects to it because it woul showed up when I look at the effects added to the instance.

When you place it over another instance it looks like it changed colour. It is kind of hard to explain. I am willing email a copy of the instance if you guys do not understand what I am saying.

How can I get that!!!

Background Colour Should Be Nothing
I'm pulling out my freshly streaked locks in an effort to remove this bloody light green background from the swish sprite I imported into FrontPage. How can I get rid of it? In swish the "background" colour I have selected to work a simple text sprite on is "white"... when I import it into Front Page, my sprite works just fine, but I have a NASTY GREEN BOX behind it... HELP. I have tried deleting "bgcolour" in the html but this turns the box white and deleted my text sprite altogether...

Nice Colour..
was wondering if anyone knew how to make a MC change colour
dynamically? say from white to orange, when the user rolls over it and back to white again when the users rolls off it.

have done it using setRGB but i would rather have it so it eases in and out... my code is this...

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
buttonColor = new Color (this);

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.myColor5) {
buttonColor.setRGB(0xFF3300);
}else .. . . ... blah blah..

any help would be rewarded with one of those toys you get in a kinder egg... on joking..

thanks..

.txt Text Colour?
Hi there flash gurus

I usually create flash sites that get large text areas
from .txt documents, that way my clients can usually
change/add text without needing to open the .fla file.

Is there any way to assign colours in the .txt itself
(i.e. a red coloured text header)?

Thanks! Greetings!

Colour Morphing
i just started a new site, and its taking longer then i expected. i want the background to change colour when i click on a link to a different section, and depending on what page its going to will dpend on the colour.

so this means i need 4 or 5 backgrounds, and the colours morphing from each on to each other. this seems like it will take too long how im doing it, manually in one movie. is there a quicker, easier way to do it?

thanks a lot.

Colour Picker
Hi

While trying to sort out a car colour picker I stumbled on to this example (that is attached) and I was wandering how would be this converted to work on any level , like for example if I placed these frames into another movie instance - empty clip called "car". The problem seems to be with the sliders , is that to do with "this" used to refference the sliders ? Um if anyone understands the concept please let me know. Also would anyone know how they created the car so it looks like it's out of glass and it's easy to manipulate it's colour.

Menu Using Colour
I am trying to create a very simple menu bar - using only the colour of the buttons to indicate where the user is on the page.

Confused? I have a list of names - when the user presses one name it should change colour - and stay that colour untill another button is pressed. How do I achieve that?

How Am I Going To Do This? (colour Control)
Hello all, well here is my problem...

so try to keep up as im not very good at explaining...

imagin a background colour (blue). through the middle is the navgation (a row of buttons)

each button goes to a different section on the site whch is represented by a colour.

the animation i want is...

when a button is clicked, a colour block (the colour of that section) drops down from the button then expands to fill the bottom half of the page in that colour...

then when the next button is clicked, the same thing happends on top of the previouse colour. get it??

my prob is..

if i do the animation by key framing, then if have it goes back in the time line
say going from a contact page to home then the backround colour jumps back to what the previous colour for that section was, what i wanted to happen was from the colour to drop down in the block (over the top of that section) then expand to fill like before.

I was thinking about loading in swf's on top of each other but it would knock out the previous level (colour) before the new one had animated.

so im guessing either i animate everything for each button (so each combination is animated, very long winded) or there was some guru action scripter out there who could help me.

HHHHEEEELLLPP!!!

thanks guys, if you need any further explaination then just ask

sorry for any spelling mistakes as im not gonna re read this to check...submitting now!

edit, i did check in the end as what i had wrote didnt make sense

How To Set Background Colour?
I have 10 buttons for changing the background colour of a movieclip. Movie clip is a square with linear gradient. When I click 10th button I want to have the movieclip retain its original linear gradient colour, but right now it turns to some solid colour even though I have mentioned the RGB value of the linear gradient.

On the button I have
on (press) {
colour.text="#A0C4EB";
}

On the frame of the main timeline I have
myColor = new Color(colour);
c1.onRelease = function() {
myColor.setRGB(0xA0C4EB);
}
Is this right?
How to make the same linear gradient colour appear?
