Flash :: Gradually Changing The Color Of An Object

Gradually Changing Height Of An Object.
Hi guys,

I'm creating a flash game for kids. The basic idea is you click on various objects and a thermometer shows how hot the object is. Now I have got as far as the thermometer changing height for each object but what I want is for the thermometer to gradually increase or decrease when you click on an object rather than jumping to the right temperature immediately.

I am looking for either code examples or a tutorial to solve this problem rather than an explanation of the logic involved as I have worked that out already.

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS I'm running MX04 Pro.

Changing An Object's Color
i have this old piece of code:

Code:
if (Number(charinline)<=Number(linelen)) {
duplicateMovieClip("/fx_" add fx add "_0", "char" add i, i);
set("/char" add i add "/letter/lettercolor:char", key);
setProperty("/cursor", _x, Number(startx)+Number(charinline*kerning)-20);
setProperty("/char" add i, _x, Number(startx)+Number(charinline*kerning));
setProperty("/char" add i, _y, Number(starty)+Number(linenum*linespace));
charinline = Number(charinline)+1;
i = Number(i)+1;
}
... which duplicates and places mc named "char[i]" on the stage based on predetermined _x & _y values, now i need to change the color of said mc. how can i do that? i've been trying to find a way but i gave up after 3 hours.

any help will be greatly appreciated

thanks much

Changing Object Color With AS
hi I am trying to make a smooth color transition using AS2

the way I have now the mc changes colors just fine, but not smooth like when you use tween. I know there is a 'get Transform' function but I don't know how to apply maybe someone has an example??

Code:
function changeBG(col) {
var c = new Color(_root.bg);
c.setRGB(col);
}
changeBG(0xCC3366);

Can I Get Some Help With Changing The Color Of An Object?
I'm trying to make the following - I have 5 buttons corresponding to five sections in my Flash movie..I want to make it so, that when I click on a button it background color changes(to show that it was clicked and I'm in that section)...
The button is located inside a movieclip(not in the root timeline)...
For the purpose I converted the background of the button (which I want to change) to a movie clip, so I could use the "setRGB" command, but still I'm doing something wrong and nothing happens...
Can someone explain to me clearly the mechanism of changing the color of a movie clip?

Thanks in advance!

Changing The Color Of An Object At Every Execution
I have a problem:

I have one file, template.as, this file keeps color configuration to make changes of my site.
I would like to know if it is possible to change color of an object every time of execution (run time).
I am using setRGB() function to make these changes.
The variable that defines the template that will be used is loaded with loadVariablesNum() function.
My script works only when I compile my movie clip (generate .swf)
I want to change the colors without having to "compile" my movie every time.

If someone can help me with other functions or any other way to do this, I will be very grateful.

Thanks

Changing Object Color Using ActionScript
First hello to everyone from a newbie

And now to the problem..i want to change color of an object via AS, which seems simple enough but stay with me. Id already seen http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/color.htm but here the object processed is made of multiple rectangles and my object cannot be really made of it. To be more precise, i want to create an image of an house and change it's color. I tried drawing it with lines, then making it a symbol and change it according to the tutorial but all i accomplished is changing the color of lines.

Anyone has another suggestion?

Thanks in advance

So Easy, I Can't Do It - Changing Object Color
I draw a circle on the stage.

I select it and save as symbol, i call it mc_circle and "export to action script" as my_mc_cirle

I cannot get the circle to change color using what I imagine should be a 1 liner. Very frustrated

my_mc_circle.setRGB(0x0000CC);
and
mc_circle.setRGP(0x0000CC);

are doing nothing??

Changing The Color Of An Object/movie Clip
I had an object that I wanted to be visible and invisible at my choosing... had to change it to a movie clip (this seems silly to me... you should be able to do it to objects)... but now I want to change the color of this movie clip object at the click of a color... how would I go about doing this... I tried this without success:
c=new Color(img_boy);
c.setRGB( 0x000000 );

Thank you

Gradually Fading From One Color To Another
Hi all,
Im trying to do a fade tint on a button to another color like they do here: [url]
Does anyone know how this is done? Can you post some code to play with.

AS Gradually Modify Color
ok so I have MovieA, which loads MovieB.

MovieB wants to change the color of the first movie, slowly darkening it.

so I tried a for loop:

darkenBGColor = new Color(_level0.instance1.bg);
darkenCAColor = new Color(_level0.instance1.ca);
for(i = 100; i >= 50; i-1){
dark.ra = i;
dark.ga = i;
dark.ba = i;
darkenBGColor.setTransform(dark);
darkenCAColor.setTransform(dark);
}

but the change happens so fast that you can't even tell. Is there a way that I can slow this effect down so it looks like I have tweened the change in color over maybe 10 frames?

or if you think it can be more easily done in another manner, please let me know

Changing Colours With AC Gradually
hello,

what i need is this, i have as graphic which expands and contracts as the mouse moves over it. that works.. what i am trying to add is this..

when the mouse is at small size and not expanded, i want it to be blac and white, and when it expands, i want the colour to come in..

my animation is a button inside of a MC, the code on the button is this
<code>
on (rollOver) {
newscale = 130;
colorTransform = {rb:255, bb:255, gb:255}
}
on (rollOut) {
newscale = 100;
colorTransform = {rb:0, bb:0, gb:0}
}
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com, "_self");
}
</code>

the ac on the MC is this

<code>
onClipEvent (load) {
newscale = 100;
MyColor = New color(this);
colorTransform = {rb:0, bb:0, gb:0}

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._xscale > newscale) {
this._xscale -= 10;
this._yscale -= 10;
this.colorTransform.rb -= 100;
this.colorTransform.bb -= 100;
this.colorTransform.gb -= 100;
} else if (this._xscale < newscale) {
this._xscale += 10;
this._yscale += 10;
this.colorTransform.rb += 100;
this.colorTransform.bb += 100;
this.colorTransform.gb += 100;
}

}

Rotating An Object Gradually
I have created a clock face with a minute hand (called 'minuteHand'). When I click a button (btn_forward) the minute hand rotates clockwise by 6 degress to point at the first minute marker on the clock face. Each time the button is pressed, the hand rotates another 6 degrees. There is also a back button (btn_back) which does exactly the same only rotates the hand in the opposite direction. I want to make the hand rotate smoothly rather than jump straight to the 6 degrees position. I have tried a tween but this became incredibly complicated. So my question is: how can I rotate the minute hand by 6 degrees, and show the hand moving there?

My code for the forward button is below:

Code:
on(press){
_root.minuteHand._rotation += 6;
}

Gradually Increasing The Speed Of The Object Movement
Hai Dudes,
I am trying a new gallery like this http://www.amazon.com/ (In the middle of the page, the gallery would be appear, sometimes It won’t be appear. On that time please refresh the page again and again than you would see).

On that gallery, you will have two buttons like back and forward. If you click forward button the images rotating towards clock-wise and click back button images rotating towards anti clock-wise.

If you click any button(back /forward) the images are move their respective direction slowly. Otherwise if you click the button continuously(without release the button) you will see the rotating speed of the images will be gradually increased.

Now lets come to the point, I want to know how do move/rotate a particular object with gradually increasing speed.

Thanks for your understanding

[CS3] Changing Color (and Opacity Of That Color) Of Movie Clip
Hi. I have a pretty large movie clip filled with pngs. It's a sprite for a game and I want to change it's color. The setRGB method works, but I can't figure out how to set the opacity of the color. I don't want to change the alpha of the movie clip itself, just the color I'm applying to it so that it's just a shade over the normal images.

Is there any way to do this?

nBlueSkin = cnBlueStart+(i*.01)*cnBlueRange;
i = (ldir==0 ? i+1 : i-1);

colorFace.setRGB(nRedSkin<<16 | nGreenSkin<<8 | nBlueSkin);
}
}
What I want is to controll the colors one at a time not all at once.

Changing Color, Please Help...
hi,

i have a movieclip that consists of two other movie clips. i'm trying to change the color of the one sub-movie clip(sub_mc1), when you clicked on the main movie clip. the color is being decided by a variable ( _root.color ). i tried this code but it dosen't work...

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
c = new Color( this.sub_mc1);
c.setRGB( parseInt( _root.color, 16 ) );
}

but this code changes the main movie clip's color, but when you click enywhere (i want only on movie clip) :

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
c = new Color( this );
c.setRGB( parseInt( _root.color, 16 ) );
}

what is wrong with the firs one ??? please help...

Please Help With IF, ELSE And COLOR Changing
Hi everybody,

I'm just trying to build an actionscript, which makes the following:
When I rollOver a button, a MC changes its color to RGB #666666. When I click on the button, the same MC changes its color to RGB #999999. Now I want to make the following: When I rollOut the button, the MC should change its color again: If the last setRGB is #666666, it has to change to #0066CC, if the last setRGB is #999999, it has to stay in #999999. I simply don't get, how this works. Until now, I've got the following script for the button:

on (rollOut) {
outColor = new Color(movie);
statusColor = Color(movie);
statusColor.getRGB();
if (statusColor = "0x999999") {
outColor.setRGB(0x999999);
} else {
outColor.setRGB(0x0066CC);
}
}

Please can anyone help me getting the right script?? Thanks a million in advance,

Color Changing
I have downloaded several movies from the gallery to disect and inspect, and from my studies I've found a strange color problem. Whenever I change the color of a fill, I sometimes have trouble getting back to the original color. For instance: Image1 is an odd shade of dark gray. Image2 is the same color. I change Image 2 to white. Later, I select Image2 and click the color box to select a color, and I use the dropper tool to get the color from Image1. Then I click the fill tool onto white Image2 which becomes a color which is dark gray, but not quite as dark as the Image1 color. Anybody else seen this?

Changing Color Of Mc?
I have a movie called card. I want to change the color when a different button hits it. The code I am using changes the mc once and then stops. A friend looked at the FLA and told me I have to write a path to the array-but that did not work -here is the code

cardColor = new Color(hand.card);
cardColorArray = ["0x342286", "0x00cc66", "0x996699", "0xFFFFFF", "0x000000", "0x000000" ];
if (top = [0]) {
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[0]);
} else {
if (top = [1]){
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[1]);
} else {
if (top = [2]) {
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[2]);
} else {

if (top = [3]) {
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[3]);
} else {

if (_top = [4]) {
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[4]);
} else {

if (top = [5]) {
cardColor.setRGB(cardColorArray[5]);
}
}
}
}
}
}

In the same Mc I have a Var called top

On my main timeline I have an array that looks like this
top = ["A", "P", "C", "E", "P", "S"];

Thanks for the help

Color Changing A MC
Okay, I have a MC (mainbox) within which I placed this code:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
myColor = new Color(_root.mainbox)
switch (_global.colour) {
case 1:
myColor.setRGB(0xA3A3D1);
break;
case 2:
myColor.setRGB(0x8787C2);
break;
case 3:
myColor.setRGB(0x5252A0);
break;
case 4:
myColor.setRGB(0x414183);
break;
case 5:
myColor.setRGB(0xEFEFF8);
}
}

This should work out that, if i set _global.colour to different values, the color of the box changes accordingly. Now, on my navbar I have a set of buttons, that have the coding that if their x position is at a certain point, then _global.colour = (1,2,3,4,5). Firstly I had it set that as soon as you click on a button the color changes, but that's not as professional. I would like it so that only when the button is finished its animation (slides left) that the color changes.

Thanks,

Gradually Changing The Color Of An Object

What I want to do is to transition the color of an object to a different color gradually. In other words, in frame 1 i have a light gray circle. In frame 30, I have a dark gray circle. I want to show a smooth transition from the light gray to the dark gray. Can this be done with a motion tween?
