Flash :: Changing Fill Color And Line Color Dynamicly And Seperately

Changing Color Dynamicly
Hi all,

I got a map of The Netherlands divided into zipcode areas. I want to create a rollOver that works for all mc's (where each area is a different mc).

I've got this so far.

Code:
//Variabele active declareren:
active = 0;

//Hoeveel easing in de motion:
Ease = 6;

//Interval Variabele aanmaken
var nInterval:Number;

//Motion calculatie naar nieuwe positie
function calculation():Void {
mcArea._xscale += (endX-mcArea._xscale)/Ease;
mcArea._yscale += (endY-mcArea._yscale)/Ease;
}

//Button motion function zoom IN
//---------------------------------------
function activeFunction():Void {
endX = 120;
endY = 120;
calculation();
updateAfterEvent();
}

//Button motion function zoom OUT
//---------------------------------------
function inActiveFunction():Void {
endX = 100;
endY = 100;
calculation();
updateAfterEvent();
}

mc78.onRollOver = function():Void {
active = 78;
mcArea = this;
clearInterval(nInterval);
nInterval = setInterval(activeFunction, 30);
}

mc78.onRollOut = function():Void {
active = 0;
mcArea = this;
clearInterval(nInterval);
nInterval = setInterval(inActiveFunction, 30);
}
Now i do managed to change the scale of the MC number 78 (one of the areas), but i'm a little stuck on changing the color. How do i change the color of the MC('s) on rollOver?

Also any other suggestions on how to make it even easier would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!

Changing Text Color Dynamicly?
Is there a way in F5, through ActioScript, to change the color of a font contained within a dynamic text field?

For instance, if I have on my stage a text field with a variable name of "link1", I'm wondering if I can on(rollOver)change my font color from say #999999 to #00FF00. Maybe through set property?????

Fill Color With Line Boundaries
What i need is the ability to "fill" an area of "color" in an imported image onto the stage to whatever color i need, and for it to fill the entire area until it reaches a boundary.

Now, if your as lost reading that as i was when i typed it, what i need is exactly what you have in mspaint (Microsoft Paint) basically i need my own paint bucket tool, so that i can fill an area of an imported image to whatever color i want.

I have played around with the BitmapData.threshold function, however whilst it works, if a user colors area1 blue, and then area 3 blue, then decides he really wants area 3 red, when he repaints area3 red, he will also paint area1 red too...

Threshold just works too well, i need to re-painting or "filling" to stop when it hits a border, and not change other parts of the image that are the same color.

An example of the image is located here: http://www.xavierit.com.au/lineDrawing.JPG i want the user to be able to paint individual cells any color they want, but i cannot find an approprate way of doing this.

Changing The Fill Color

Changing Fill Color Of An MC By Clicking Button
I have an MC, a picture of a shirt. I also have a color chart (ie rows of little colored squares that are buttons). If i click one of the squares, lets say its green, how can i make the color of the shirt change to green? Is there a way to do this with ActionScript? If so, where would i put the necessary code?

Fill Color And Stroke Color Option Not Working...
I am a faculty member at American River College who needs a word or two on how Flash CS3 works.

Specifically, how do I get back the option to add fill color to an oval drawing that I have made in Flash CS3? It appears that I have flipped a setting that makes that seemingly simple option unavailable.

I have several other documents where I have added fill color without a problem; however, as of this morning CS3 will not allow me do add such. When I open Flash, I draw on the Stage, the outline color is usually green, no matter what color I select for as Stroke Color and Flash will not allow me to change the Fill Color. I make a selection and nothing happens (just moments ago I opted for red as the Fill Color and the Fill remains white).

Is there a setting in Flash, that a rookie like yours truly could activated by accident?

Please help.

Changing Sprite Line Color Through AS
Hello,

Is it possible to smoothly change the color of the line in this sprite over a period of time?

Code:

var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sp);

sp.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0x31FF1A);

I saw a bit of code that used Tweener to do this with a movie clip, but I can't make Tweener work with a sprite.

[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?

Loading Color Value Dynamicly
Hi, I'm curently working on a site loading all it's parameters and content from external files. I actually have a problem setting the background color for some items.

I use this method where I tried in many way to load the rgb value from my external text file:

Code:
myColor = new Color(main_txt.bg_main);
myColor.setRGB(0x566D96);
Actually the line "_root.:couleur_header = myLoadVar.couleur_header;" load the rgb value 566D96, if I test it standalone with a text field it loads the value properly. Then I try to load this value to my actionscript, I tried with or witouth the eval argument:

Code:
_root.:couleur_header = myLoadVar.couleur_header;
myColor = new Color(header_status.status_bg);
myColor.setRGB(eval("0x" add couleur_header));
Right now the result is a blank value and a black background.

Any suggestions how I could get it to work?

[F8] Color Fill A Dynamic PNG
I am creating a banner which dynamically loads a png image through xml, no problem yet. The question i have is,

Is there a way to color fill the loaded image?
for example i have an png of a man loaded in with it's transparency. I want it to first appear filled white so it looks like a silhoutte which then fades into the image?

any simple fills i apply to the MC just don't seem to do anything once the png has loaded.

Fill Color Using Actionscript
hi guys,

How to do something like this:

ActionScript Code:
on(release){
myMc.color = red
}

i've tried:

ActionScript Code:
on(release){
myMc.color = "#FF0000"
}
but it didn't work!

Auto Color Fill
Thanks to Inhan I can now do colorTransform. This question might be getting ahead of myself, but I was curious.

I've got something where users drag a color (MC) into a space (another MC) and the space becomes the color of the dragged MC. It's like a coloring book of sorts.

Now when the two MCs have a hitTest the color simply changes instantly. I thought it would be a cool effect if the color gradually filled the space like paint poured on the floor. I am thinking of a slow way where the dragged MC locks into the center position and then shape tweens into a preset fixed area, but I thought there might be some way to detect the shape it's in and just slowly fill that area.

I have a headache just thinking about this.

Thanks.

Color Fill Png Dynamically?
Hi,

Didn't now where to put this, but AS3 looked like the best option.

So I'm developping a product configurator in Flex, and at a certain point the end -user should be able to "drag" a color to the product.
The product outlines are all dynamic loaded png's.

Now my question is how can I color fill these png?
With an underlaying sprite that i fill with a color is an option. But i've heard it's possible to use the png outlines as vectors, is it (maybe CS3 only)?

Thx!

Choosing Gradients As A Fill Color

How do I customize my own gradients?

Thanks,

Color Fill In Real Time?
Hi,

I've been looking at a post made, using some action script that will target a movie and fill the color according to to the color of your choice.....the problem i'm having is that i want to fill an image, but i want the image to retain it's original shading (so it still looks 3D without just completely filling it with one shade!!)

Is there any way of doing this??

Dynamic Color With Gradient Fill
Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out how to use dynamic colors within a gradient fill. This borrowed script works fine with hex colours, however when I use a dynamic field in there it doesn't take (line 2). It seems to not like the square brackets -the line style (a few lines down), has no problem taking the dynamic field. Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks

fillType = "linear";
colors = [_root.rollcolour,0x0000FF, 0x0000FF];

How To Modify Outline OR Fill Color?
Is it possible with AS to change outline OR fill color?

I need somehow to highlight selected movieClip. But colors used in each particular movieClip can vary (as well as the background environment), so using colorTransformFilter on the entire movieClip instance does not work as needed.
Adjusting outline and fill color separately would help. Is there a way to achieve that at runtime?

Change Color Of Fill In Drawing API
hi,

can I change the color of a fill that I've added to a sprite using the drawing API? This is not working:

Code:
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();

sp.graphics.beginFill(0xCCCCCC, 1 );
sp.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 60, 60, 10);

addChild(sp);

sp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeColor);

function changeColor(e: MouseEvent):void{

//sp.graphics.clear();
sp.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1 );
sp.graphics.endFill();
//sp.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 60, 60, 10);

}

Isn't it possible or am I missing something?

thanks :-),

Jeff.

Change Fill Color On The Layer
Hi everyone:

I can't seem to be able to do the obvious I have a symbol (movie clip) in the library - let's call it Ball - that consists of two layers. One layer has the outlines and the other layer has the fill. The goal is to create the Ball dynamically with a certain fill color:
Code:
var ball:Ball = new Ball(0xff0000);
addChild(ball);
The movie clip symbol is linked to a class like this:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

public class Ball extends MovieClip
{
function Ball(color:uint):void
{
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = this.transform.colorTransform;
colorTransform.color = color;
this.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
}
}
}
But my problem is that when the code above is run everything changes color (the outlines and the fill layer). What I need to know is how to do this ColorTransform on a specified layer only?

(Or maybe there's a better way to change the fill color of an object?)

Don´t Color A Word But Fill It With Bitmap
Hi!
I have once seen a tutorial on how to fill a word by bitmaps. I can´t find it now. I have a word, kind of a logotype that I want to stand out from the background. I know you can do a lot of things in flash8. I would appreciate any tips of tutorials on this subject.

Controlling Mc Fill Color Externally
I have a project that demands control of the fill color of a rectangle shaped mc externally. So the user would have the control to change the fill color of a movie clip by editing something externally, not having to edit the flash file. Is this possible?
