Flash :: Changing Object Color Using ActionScript

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

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?

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

Changing Color With Actionscript
Hi there

I've seen the tutorial on changing colours randomly with a button press but I was wondering if there was something slightly different available to help me.

I want to click on a button and have certain elements onscreen transition to a specific colour over the space of 2 seconds approx. the basic idea is to be able to skin the site and pick the monochromoatic colour scheme.

Can anyone help me out with this?

thanks much for any input!!

Color Changing Buttons With Actionscript
hello. right now i'm working on a menu for a flash movie. when you mouse over the buttons, i've got this neat effect where the background is filled with this pixel animation, which is hard to describe. for your benifit this is a link to a sample of my menu with the effect in place:

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~johns113/blog/menu.html

what i'm trying to do is make it so the blue color is scriptable via a hex color code stored in a variable in the main timeline (that way i can dynamically change the colors of the menu via parameters loaded into the movie from the html page the flash movie is on). the pixel animation is just a mask over a blue colored background area. I made the background a movie clip to try and use the color object so i could do setRGB, but that dosn't seem to work for some reason. if you need, I can email the .fla movie so you can see how i've got things constructed. thanks for your help, and I hope someone has an answere for this.

Changing Textbox Color With Actionscript
I am a little confused. I have a text box I named "letter". I want the background of the textbox to be the same color as a graphic it sits on top of.

In the first frame of the movie, I assign the text to the textbox and set the background color like this:

letter = "falskdfjakld j";
letter.backgroundColor = "FFE8D6";

I get the text but I don't get the background color of the textbox to change.

Where does the letter.backgroundcolor code go?

I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Changing Button Color Actionscript
How do I change the color of a button onPress with actionscript?

Here is what I have so far...

http://glennon.org/2004Tour/tour.htm

What I am looking to do is when a user clicks on say, "Ground, Floor1, Floor2, or Floor3" I want that button to stay blue just so they know what Floor there on.

How do I do that?

Right now for example on Ground I have this AS...

on (release) {
_root.subBox.attachMovie("ground","subbuts",1);
}

When I try to give the Button an instance name like "Ground" and say...

Ground.SetRGB("whatevercolor");

It does not work.

Please help.

Changing Text Color W/ Actionscript
Hi,

I am looking for a script that I can attach to a button that will then change the text (inside a dynamic text box) to a specified color. So, when I click the mouse on the button, the text in the dynamic text field will change to the color that I have specified in the script. Thanks so much for your help!

Changing Color (colour) Using ActionScript Buttons
Hey guys, sorry to bug you all, but I'm hoping you can help a budding ActionScripter!

I'm trying to make it so when the user clicks a button, it fades from it's current colour to a pre-defined one... simple enough in theory

Here's the AS I've got so far:

Code:
var startColour = {r:50,g:100,b:250};
var endColour = {r:250,g:0,b:120};

function fadeColour(startColour,endColour,t) {
var newR = (endColour.r - startColour.r)*t + startColour.r;
var newG = (endColour.g - startColour.g)*t + startColour.g;
var newB = (endColour.b - startColour.b)*t + startColour.b;
new Colour(but01).setRGB( newR << 16 | newG << 8 | newB );
}

but01.onRelease = function() {
t += 0.1; // Fade Speed
if (t < 1) {
fadeColour(startColour,endColour,t);
} else {
fadeColour(startColour,endColour,1);
}
}
So, let me just walk you thru a few things...

The script works, but not as hoped. The colour will only change when the user is "clicking" on the button, I want to it keep changing colour until it reaches the 'endColour' variable (like it should) - I have tried doing an "onRelease" statement, but this didn't help either

Secondly, like I said in my preamble, I want it to be able to fade from its current colour to a set colour, eg: I need var startColour to be dynamic, rather than fixed, but I don't know how to read in an objects current colour(!) - any ideas?

Thanks guys.
jonny.

[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?

Ok I hope that I can explain what Im after. I would like to make the color of a MC change (Morph) to the next closest value. Like gradually changing. Not just from RED to GREEN but more like red to reder to redest to dark red and so on. I hope someone can help..

Changing The Color On MC
ok i have found a script that will change the color of the MC gradually. BUT, I want it to change the R from 0 -255 then stop and staret to change the G from 0 - 255 And so on. What I have now is setting all the VAR to change the RGB al at once. Here is the code.

onClipEvent(load) {
colorFace = new Color(this);
var cnRedStart = 50;
var cnGtreenStart = 115;
var cnBlueStart = 152;
var cnRedRange = 150;
var cnGreenRange = 116;
var cnBlueRange = 80;
var i = 0;
var ldir = 0;
_root.lPlaying = 1;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
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.
