Flash :: Changing An Object's Color

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

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?

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

It works quite fine but I afraid that it's quite resource consuming using enterframe and bitmap drawing. Is there any better method?
Thanks for help.

[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?

var cnRedStart = 50;
var cnGtreenStart = 115;
var cnBlueStart = 152;
var cnRedRange = 150;

if (_root.lPlaying) {
nRedSkin = cnRedStart+(i*.01)*cnRedRange;
nGreenSkin = cnGreenStart+(i*.01)*cnGreenRange;
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,

Changing Color
Hi,

I've read some tutorials and checked the help of flash, but nothing seems to help.

This is my problem:
I have a movieclip "colorsquare" that just has a square in it with a certain color ( color isn't important since I want to change it ).
This movieclip acts just as the color of my background where the content is coming.
the path of the movieclip is _root -> content_frame_mc (instance: content_frame) -> colorsquare (instance: bgcolor)
so the path is _root.content_frame.bgcolor , right?? no problem here.
Since I want to use a different color for each section on my website, I put the code on my buttons of the website. My navigation-buttons are sitting in another movieclip called "nav_menu". So the path is _root -> nav_menu so it schould be _root.nav_menu . No problem there either.
So on one of the buttons I want to change the color of the 'bgcolor' with an "on(release)" event.
I used the "
kleur = new Color(bgcolor); <- and also with new Color(_root.content_frame.bgcolor)
kleur.setRGB(0xFF0000);
"
and I also used that "myColorTransform" thing. And 2 tutorials at http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ge...-526/index.php and http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-185/index.php but none of them seem to help .

Can anyone pllllzzzzeee help???

Changing MC's Color.
Hey Guys,

Alrighty, here's what im looking to do. Im currently working on an interactive designing program for some products for a client.

I have already built a class for 'objects' or 'changeable' elements. All it does at the moment is show a bounding box around the object on roll over, no biggie, what i would like to add is the ability to change the color of the element, lets say on click, a 'color picker' will roll out that i can use to change the color of the object.

So, if I build an MC, of my 'color' panel with the choices, (various colors/patterns), how would i go about filling the selected element with these?

Obviously on click of the object will bring up the colorpicker, but while click on the object i need figure out how to A) pass the correct object i am on, b)actually change the color of the passed object.

I hope this makes sense, or.. if someone has a better solution i would love to hear it! thanks!

-Mike

colorHex.color = xml.setting.param.attribute("hex");
invVideoBtnMc.transform.colorTransform = colorHex;
