Flash :: Color Mixer

Color Mixer
I have a SWF with quite a number of different graphics I've created using the color mixer, both with linear and radial settings. There are probably about 10 of them.

Is there any way to set an object memory in Flash MX so that if I want to change on objects radial color settings slightly, Flash will remember what the original settings were and display those rather than whatever settings the last image created may have used?

What I am looking for would even carry across different projects. So if I open an old FLA from months ago and want to change the Radial settings slightly, I could just click on the object and Flash would open the color mixer with the settigns of the object.

Is this possible?

I know I can "save swatch" but my guess is there is a limited number.

Color Mixer
Okay, after much searching and pulling out of hair, I have failed ot find what I'm looking for. So I came here in hopes that someone knows somewhere I can look.

Anyway, I am looking to make a color picker - a simple color picker, like you would find to change font color. I need a small clickable box that opens up a color pallete with like 50-75 different colors (In fact, if someone knows how to make flash get a color from a color-swatch-bitmap that would be great). When you select a color on this pallete, it should close the pallete and then show the color you picked in the small clickable box. It should be simple, no? Well the only ones like that I have found cost $40 and up. I am just looking for a simple one or a good tutorial on how to make one.

Thanks a ton guys!

Bitmaps And Color Mixer
Heya,
Ok so I want to fill an area with a bitmap (from the color mixer) but the bitmap is filling it by tiling the area in small boxes? The graphic is plenty big enough... Why is this happening? better yet how do I fix it?!
Thanks in advance to all that reply,

Color Mixer - Linear
Is there a more convenient way of rotating a linear fill? I'd like to find a way to make a linear fill vertically without rotating the object, unless there is none. Thanks in advance.

Color Mixer Problem...
when you pull up the color mixer in flash and select linear you can then go down to that line below and click to add another gradient box and select a color for it. But now I want to delete these things and have just the two at each end of the line.

Why can't I just delete any that I click on the gradient line. Flash appears to not let you do this and this appears just completely idiotic. How do you get rid of extra gradient selectors on the gradient line in the color mixer?

thank you...

Custom Color Mixer
Hi;
I'm wondering how to make a color mixer just like the one that Flash o Photoshop have.
It's possible since I saw one working in a logo design site and now I need my own for a design tool that I'm making to put in my site.
But really don't have any idea how to make one.
Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!

Colorblind Color Mixer
Anyone here colorblind? Anyone like to have a color picker that's a little more intuitive?

I was just wondering if there was a demand for such a thing, and if so, is it possible to develop our own design panels for flash? I know we can create our own tools, but do panels fall in that same category?

A Little Help With Reflections And The Color Mixer
Ok, I'm new to this. I think I searched all the tutorials and none of them cover this. I don't get how to use the color mixer. I experimented a lot and I still cant really figure it out.
I seen a lot of flash artists change the color of a charcter's face in different parts. They also use the color mixer to create a reflection effect.I don't really get how they do that. Any help would be appricieted.

Beginner Question. "alpha" In Color Mixer
Hi everyone,
I'm tring to operate a very simple mission (flash 8) which apparently is impossible for me to do.
I try to create a circle which is filled red and another circle that is blue. I want to place the blue circle on the red so that the red part which is under the blue will be reflected through the blue due to blue's transparency.
With "fill color tool" i selected red and designed a red circle. Then, from "fill color tool" i selected blue and designed blue circle. Then while "blue" is selected, i opened "color mixer" panel and changed "alpha" to 28 %.
"Blue's" color became very bright. I moved "blue" upon "red" but couldnt see red behind ! Only the blue color became bright ! What can i do to make blue transparent rather then bright ?!
Thank a lot !

Audio Mixer.
Hi All,

Wonder if anyone can help.
I have created a working mixing desk, that looks like the type of thing used in recording studios. It has 8 tracks with a slider, eq and pan on each track.
Each track has a play and stop button and will start/stop an audio file.
The problem is at present if more than one track is playing I am unable to use the sliders to control individual tracks (which would enable the whole thing to behave just like a real mixing desk), at present all sliders control all currently playing audio at the same time. There is also a master slider for control of the overall audio. It looks good and nearly works.

Hope this makes sense!
Need help to get this finished.
Thanks.

Music Mixer
Hey everybody,

Does anyone know where I can find a flash music mixer? I need a music mixer that can save to mp3 or wav and send the saved file to a mail address. This is urgent! I'm willing to pay for it, so please, please help!

Mixer GUI Mp3 Player.
Let me explain, as some of you may be questioning what I'm asking about.

Well imagine a mixer, it has slides, knobs, buttons, LCD screen, etc...

Imagine creating a flash mp3 player with a GUI like that. XML reads for the mp3 files, and the knobs would adjust like VST plug-ins.

If anyone has ever used FLS or any other program similar you'll know what Im talking about.

The songs would be displayed in the LCD lit box. The start/start/pause would be buttons.

The volume controller would be a cool slider, as well as the balance controls, etc...

Am I crazy or can this be achieved?

I'd have to do a lot more reading to understand it all though

Track Mixer
Hi y'all
I'm trying to create a sound/track mixer in FlashMX. So far so good, I got one track working, but when I add multiple tracks they all seem to react to one slider instead of seperate sliders. Any help would be great, tnx

code:

//create the soundclips (2 atm, linkage : loop01, loop02)
for(i=1;i<3;i++) {
_root["sound"+i] = new Sound();
soundName = "loop0";
soundName += i;
_root["sound"+i].attachSound(soundName);
_root["sound"+i].start(0,9999);
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

for(j=1;j<3;j++) {
with(_root["track"+j]) {

//calculate levels according to knob positions
_root["sound"+j].setVolume(95-volume._y);
_root["sound"+j].setPan((this.pan._x+4)*8);

}//end 'with'
}//end 'for'
} //EOF

Building A Sound Mixer
Hi.

I am starting a new project in Flash, which is going to be a sound mixer. I will have sound loops and the user will be able to play with the volume of each loop.

Since I need the loops to be in perfect sync, I am thinking of playing them all from the start and mute them. When the user "activates" one loop, and mute will be off, and then he/she will be able to play with the volume.

Does anyone have any idea about how many sound files Flash can handle at the same time without breaking down the processor?

Thanks,
Uri

Video Mixer Export?
Hi Guys

Some of you may have already seen the Motorola Moto Studio where you can create video animations for your Motoroal phone.

The mixer is created in Flash obviously but what I was curious about was as to how they then export the compiled clips into one single movie file that a person can use on their phone or any where else for that matter?

Anyone with any ideas on how this is done please reply. As I am working on a similar project at the moment and it would be great to incorporate this kind of functionality into the project.

Thanks in advance

Advanced Music Mixer Question
I'm building a music mixer. It contains 64 pre-loaded loops that users can access randomly. The movie is scripted in such a way that the loops play on the first beat after the user initiates them, so that the mix is completely synced and requires no mucical talent. Sounds great in theory. Problem is that the loops are a little out of synch with each other because of the time it takes for the mp3s to decompress from RAM. Anybody know of a good solution for this?

Or if anybody has built a successful mixer with this many tracks before, I'd love to chat with you.

Thanks!

Client Want's A Video Mixer. Where Do I Start?
A client of mine just asked me to find out how they can have a video sequencer on thier site.

this is the reference point http://www.whensheshot.com/

As the PM where do I start to figure out how to get one of these going.

We have all the video clips but I what am I looking at as far as any database implementation, what about bandwidth? will I need to set up a flash media server? could I leverage akamai? How do one of these things work in a broad sense? once the clips are placed does it send a query string to the database to pull all the correct video files.

Anybody know some one that can build one of these?

Any help or at least pointing me is some direction whould be great.

Mash Up, Mixer Tool Compile?
I am currently redesigning a Mash-Up tool for my work.

It allows users to take assets and mix them within a video-editing-esque UI. The original product was developed offshore (I'm in the good ol' US). The product team and even the CTO were under the impression that the tool can create a binary that can be stored like a video on our servers.

Instead, the tool creates a description, an XML document that orchestrates assets into time-based media according to the user's input - a collage in a timeline that can include audio, video, images, transitions, and such.

There are a number of these mash-up tools out there on the web. Adobe has one on photobucket.com - the Remixer. Can anyone confirm for me definitively that these tools do NOT produce binaries (particularly videos) ?

If they in fact DO produce binaries, what wizardry is necessary to make that happen?

Thank you for any helpful information. It is much appreciated :)

Floop - An Interactive Loop Mixer
I'm posting this again 'cos I think it got lost as a result of the recent hack. Note that this app does rely heavily on Shared Objects (>300 Kb), but only to store some rather bloated arrays.

Floop - An interactive loop mixer.

Source code is for Flash 8 Professional only.

Demo here:

http://flashwebservices.co.uk/apps/floop

Source code here:

http://flashwebservices.co.uk/source/ (quick sign-up required, 10 Megabytes)

My favourite loop style is Soul Breaks - you can select this from the top right drop-down menu.

It's a veritable Frankenstein of applications, so credit due to any third party bits and bobs that may have found their way in there. There's more information in the readme.txt file and in the top layer of the FLA.

You MUST change the floopURL variable in the FLA (top layer), else you'll be uploading files to my server. Uploads in my demo are disabled, so, if I start to get requests for unauthorized files from my server due to lazy buggers not changing this variable, I'll simply take the source code down. You have been warned.

Oh, and the synchronisation is a bit tighter when you run it outside of the browser (standalone). If anyone comes up with a sample-accurate method of playing, stopping and syncing loops, please do feel free to get in touch. Till then, you may find manual triggering better.

Cheers.

Beat Mixer & Song Playback
Hello kirupa!

Okay, well I'm making this little thing called BeatBox. Basically you get to create little beats in a mixer, then submit them to a "portal" where people can rate them and listen to them.

You can see it so far here: http://flash.jonanin.com/music.html

Anyways, If you play it, you can see it lags and the music is a bit out of sync when you play it. So, I need help optimizing my code a bit!

For song playback, I use setTimeout and step through a 2-dimensional array at each interval. For each step, I use a for loop and loop through every block in the column it is currently being played and check if that block in the array is a 1. If its a 1, that means the block is "on" and should be played, and I start the sound for it.

heres the code:

Code:
playSongPart = function() {

for (var i=0; i < _root.map.length; i++) {
// if the current place in the map array is a 1, that means that that we should play a sound because it is "On". Otherwise it would be 0.
if (_root.map[i][_root.step] == 1) {
// play the song
_root.sounds[i].start(0,0);
}
}
// this just moves the little red playhead thing.
ph._x = rx + (bw/2) - bw + .5 + ((step)*bw);

_root.step++;
// loop the song when its reached the end
if (_root.step > _root.song_len) {
_root.playSong();
}
}
Is there a better way to do this? I really need help optimizing my code so that it doesn't lag -- especially on older computers.

Thanks in advance,
Jon
