Flash :: Color Object Problem

[F8] Color Swatch Or Change - Color Object?
You know how on retail sites or even a car site you can swap the color by clicking on the swatch and than the image changes the color. I wanted to do this in flash preferably with actionscripting but I have NO CLUE how to do it. Can anyone show me a tutorial or advise me o how to do this. This is just a BASIC example in flash five but this is the same concept I want. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/i...y/colorobject/ If anyone knows of a high level example with tutorial I would appreciate it.

Setting The Color Of Multiple MCs Using One Color Object
Hiya I am making a movie that has to be published to Flash Player 6 and want to set a bunch of movie clips to have the same color. Here is my function:

ActionScript Code:
var fillObjs_ar:Array = [square_mc, circle_mc];function colours(array:Array, color) { for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) { var my_color:Color = new Color(array[i]); my_color.setRGB(0x+color); }}colours(fillObjs_ar, FF0000);

My problem is that I get the error message:
"Hexadecimal digits expected after 0x" referring to the 4th line of my function.
If anyone could help me out it would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Color Object- Get Color Name?
Hello,

I made a color picker and I was wondering if the color object had any way of grabbing the actual color name?

I know I could put all the colors into an array and call them up as needed... I've done the same thing in C#... and the color object in C# has a color name feature, I was wondering if Flash's color object had the same deal.

The Color Object
Got a question.

Do you have any idea how to go back to the original color of an object after having used setRGB(...

For instance I have a red box with a black border.

Using the code below the entire symbol is changed to WHITE, which is desired.
headColor.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);

But if I want to change it back to the red box with the black border, it seems impossible. Picking another setRGB color does not give me the original symbol which was red with a black border, it just paints it all a different color.

How do i return to the default of NO TINT ?

Any clues?

Love to hear your solution here if you have the time.

The Color Object
Hi:

I have an interface I want to change the color of by changing the alpha and RGB values for an MC (Vector Shape).

The AS reference doesn't give a very detailed explanation of how to do this. The example used is in response to user input through a text field. I just want someone to be able to click on a button and and have the MC change to the color and alpha value I have predetermined.

I believe I need to use the .setRGB() and setTransform() methods of the color object, but I haven't used these before and haven't been successful making this work, thus far.

I have done this using tweening, but then the color jumps from one to the other. If, however, the current color is green, alpha 22%, I want to be able to change it to red, alpha 18%, for example, without going back to the original color first.

Does anyone have a script they'd like to share?

The above will do, but if some could share how to do this over time as well, that'd be even better. For instance, change the color over 50 frames. My movie is currently set to 24fps, and just using onClipEvent(enterFrame) will change the colors too quickly, so that it creates a strain on the eye. I'd like to slow the change down.

Thanks, in advance.

I've tried clear(), myColorObject = 0 ... nothing seems to work

Color Object -- MX
I am trying to dup an array of mc's and change the color of each -- I dup an mc 5 times and move it up one and left one from the previous, then change the color of each. It dupps all, but only changes the color for the first set of dupped MCs...here's the code:

why can't i change the color for the next mc I dup?

var t = new Array(mc_0, mc_1);
highlightC(t);
//
// Vars for dupping the passed mc
var c;
var MAX0 = 5;
var mcLevel = 100;
//
// Vars for changing the color of the dupped mcs
var cColor;
var cColorArray = new Array("0x000000", "0x333333", "0x666666", "0x999999", "0xFFB100");
//
// Dup the passed mc and change the color of it
function highlightC(temp) {
//
var MAX1 = temp.length;
for (k = 0; k < MAX1; k++) {
for (i = 0; i < MAX0; i++) {
mcLevel++;
trace(temp[k]);
c = temp[k].duplicateMovieClip("dup_" + i, mcLevel);
c._x -= i;
c._y -= i;
//c._alpha = (i+35)*(i+1);
//
colorC(c);
//
}
}
}
// Change the color of the dupped mc
function colorC(c) {
cColor = new Color(c);
cColor.setRGB(cColorArray[i]);
}

Color Object Help
I am trying to create multiple color objects, all with the same name, but on different MCs. If I go onto each MC, I can create the color objects with an onClipEvent(load) event, but that doesn't help me in this instance.

Why isn't this code creating these Color objects? What code should I use to create them?

Here is my basic code.

on frame of _root:

function colors(pathToMC){
this[pathToMC].furtherPath1.thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath1);
this[pathToMC].furtherPath2.thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath2);
this[pathToMC].furtherPath3.thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath3);
}

I have also tried:

function colors(pathToMC){
thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath1);
thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath2);
thisColor = new Color(this[pathToMC].furtherPath3);

Thanks in advance for your help.

Getting The Color Of An Object
I have a world map with each piece of the map as movie clips. Each MC is set to a color (using ColorTransform) based on some data about the state that i load in. When i click on the MCs I want to temporarily change the color to something else while displaying information about the MC and then change it back when i select another MovieClip. How can i find out what the current color of the clip is so i can store it in a temporary variable to know what i need to change it back to once i select some other?

I have a workaround but it is not 100% foolproof.

Color Object ?

[code]
function combineRGB(red, green, blue){
var RGB = (red<<16)|(green<<8) | blue
return RGB
}
myColor = new Color(_root.carColor);
[code]

I have two movie clips on the stage and I want to put the r value of the color into a text box when I rollover the movie clip. So I have this:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.myColor.setRGB(_root.combineRGB(255,0,0))
_root.red.text = "255"
_root.green.text = "0"
_root.blue.text = "0"
}
How can I get the actual value of the colors in the text box so I don't have to do what I am doing now,which is hard coding them in.?

Color Object With
Object A in flash

is colored as follow

colorchange = new Color("_root.A");
colorchange.setRGB(colorselected);

where colorselected is color picke dup from color pallette

Normally when we draw an object (circle , square or rectangle ) its is drawn with fill color (shown by bucket in tool bar) and stroke color (shown by pencil on tool bar).

These 2 buttons are found on a tool bar very near to each other.

My question is can how do we give "stroke color" to the object A

For example command

colorchange.setRGB(colorselected);

is used to color an object

then what is command to give stroke color to the object

Trying To Manipulate A Color Object
I am trying to create a color object that I can manipulate via sliders during my movie. I've got the sliders in place but can't seem to find any tutorials on manipulating color objects. I found one here in FlashKit which I really don't want to use if I don't have to (long drawn out function), now if that's the only way to manipulate the RGB values.. then that's what I'll have to do; just hoping that some of the "old school" could show me the light.

Is There A Need To Delet Color Object?
If I have say 1000 movie clips on screen and I have a function where I create color object for each one to change them to different color, should I delete the Color object (by setting it to null) when I am done? It seems like if I don't I will be creating lots of color objects as the movie is running and changing the color of the movie clips.

e.g.

// this function is being called a lot
// will I be creating lots of color object over time?
function ChangeColor()
{
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
{
var col = new Color("movie" + i);
col.setRGB(Math.random() * 0xffffff);

// should I do below?
// col = null;
}
}

Thanks.

Dont know if this is even possible to do, but I want to
be able to take an object and change the internal

a nice red picture, but the outline was in black and you only wanted to change the red inside parts (sort of like what you can do with Paintshop pro), is there anyway to do this. I cant create a seperate background for the inside color like the flashmx car example uses because these will be dynamically loaded images. Perhaps there is no way. Any ideas?

Color Object Problem
Working with Actionscript 1.0, Flash MX 2004.

All right, I've been working with the Color object for the first time. I've almost got it working how I want it to, but I'm making some kind of error with my naming (at least, I think that's where the error is). Here's the snippet of code that's giving me a problem:

Code:
piece1Color = new Color(piece1)
colorTransform1 = {ra: '0'}
temp = piece1+"Color"
temp.setTransform(colorTransform1);

I have an object called "piece1". I want it to change color, so I've created a new Color object called "piece1Color". I have then created "colorTransform", which I want to be the source to feed the color transform information.

Here's the problem... as it is, this code, when accessed, does not cause piece1 to change color. However, if in the fourth line I replace it with

Code:
piece1Color.setTransform(colorTransform1);

then it works absolutely fine, changing piece1's color to the bluish tint that I desire.

Can anyone give input as to what is wrong? Specifically, why "temp" is not equal to "piece1Color" even though I've specified that it should be?

Color Object Prototyping In AS 2
hi everybody-

previously, i've been using a MovieClip prototype to create and set a color object, like this:

MovieClip.prototype.setRGB=function(hex){
(new Color(this)).setRGB(hex); //creates color object + sets color
}

which makes it easy to change a MC's color like this:

MC.setRGB(0x00ff00);

now i'm working in AS 2.0, which seems to discourage using prototyping and extending the MC class methods--so my question is, what is the best approach for doing this in AS 2? i've created a new class to handle it, but it seems clunky to have to call an instance rather than having a MC call an internal method...

the bottom line, is: is it ok to extend the MovieClip class in AS2, and if not, what's the cleanest approach?

thanks in advance,
-David

Retrieving An Object's Color
Hello,

I'll start of with a little context.

I imported a DAE file (a model) into flash using papervision and give it a texture. For as far as i know, it's not possible to tween color in papervision so i set up a dummy sprite. I tween the sprites' color instead.

Now i need to retrieve the color of the sprite per frame so i can set the texture's color per frame update.

Question: How would i go about extracting the sprites' color?

[as1]odd Color Object Behaviour, HELP
I'm tring to use a Color object from within a constructor function and it's giving me some grief(See the function below). The Color object just doesn't want to point to the movie clip i tell it to. It correctly receives the RGB value i send it but doesn't cause the designated movie clip to change color. however if i target the parent of that clip "this.mc" the color change takes effect.

I've triple-checked that "circle_mc" is named correctly and exists where it should. Has anyone else had similar issues?

ActionScript Code:
_global.Dot = function (effect, timeline) {
var depth = ++_root.totalDots + _root.dotsDepth;
this.mc = this.attachGraphic(timeline,depth);
this.mc.parent = this;
//*****Color code here*****
this.mcColor = new Color (this.mc.circle_mc);
this.mcColor.setRGB(0x00FF00);
//*****Color code ends*****
this.mc.startDrag(true);
this.mc._visible=true;
_root.dots_arr[_root.totalDots] = this;

}
var DP = Dot.prototype;
DP.attachGraphic = function (timeline, depth) {
var mc = timeline.attachMovie("dot_template","d" + depth, depth);
mc._x = -500;
mc._y = 500;
mc._visible = false;
return mc;
}

Thanks in advance,

Color Object - Why Doesn't This Work?
Hi,

I've got a movieclip of which I want to change the color. I want to start from black then jump to blue and from there I want to change to green, to yellow, to red. Using steps of - or + 51 in the RGB-scale.

This is the code on the clip:

onClipEvent (load) {
//Mouse.hide();
// maak kleurobject voor deze clip
clip_kleur = new Color (this);
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
// check de kleur van deze clip
get_clip_kleur = clip_kleur.getRGB();
}

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
hexColor = get_clip_kleur.toString(16);
trace(hexColor);
// als deze clip zwart is
if (get_clip_kleur == 0x000000){
// spring naar blauw
clip_kleur.setRGB(0x0000FF);

} else if (get_clip_kleur > 0x00FFFF && get_clip_kleur < 0x00FF00) {
//anders maak mc groener
_root.actie_groen();
updateAfterEvent();

} else if (get_clip_kleur > 0x00FF00 && get_clip_kleur < 0xFFFF00){
// maak mc geler
_root.actie_geel ();
updateAfterEvent();

} else if (get_clip_kleur >= 0xFFFF00){
// maak mc roder
_root.actie_rood ();
updateAfterEvent();

} else {
// anders maak mc blauwer
_root.actie_blauw ();
updateAfterEvent();
}
}

These are the functions on the main timeline that are being called:

function actie_blauw(){
actie_clip = new Color("_root.ball");// moet nog dynamisch gemaakt
actie_kleur_trans = new Object();
actie_kleur += 51;

actie_kleur_trans.rb = 0;
actie_kleur_trans.gb = actie_kleur;
actie_clip.setTransform(actie_kleur_trans);
}

function actie_groen(){
actie_clip = new Color("_root.ball");// moet nog dynamisch gemaakt
actie_kleur_trans = new Object();
actie_kleur -= 51;
actie_kleur_trans.rb = 0;
actie_kleur_trans.gb = 255;
actie_kleur_trans.bb = actie_kleur;
actie_clip.setTransform(actie_kleur_trans);
}

function actie_geel(){
actie_clip = new Color("_root.ball");// moet nog dynamisch gemaakt
actie_kleur_trans = new Object();
actie_kleur += 51;
actie_kleur_trans.bb = 0;
actie_kleur_trans.gb = 255;
actie_kleur_trans.rb = actie_kleur;
actie_clip.setTransform(actie_kleur_trans);
}

function actie_rood(){
actie_clip = new Color("_root.ball");// moet nog dynamisch gemaakt
actie_kleur_trans = new Object();
actie_kleur -= 51;
actie_kleur_trans.rb = 255;
actie_kleur_trans.bb = 0;
actie_kleur_trans.gb = actie_kleur;
actie_clip.setTransform(actie_kleur_trans);
}

The problem is that only the blue to green functions works, the hexColor gives this output:
0
ff
33ff
66ff
99ff
ccff
ffff

After that it should shift to diminishing the green but it jumps to yellow, this is the output:
132ff00
ffff00
ffcc00
ffff00
ffcc00
ffff00
ffcc00
etc.
Example here: http://home.wanadoo.nl/d.roberts/stuff/kleur_test.html

Can someone please give me a clue where things are going wrong?

Can You Dynamically Color A MovieClip Object?
Hi all,

i am trying to dynamically color a movieClip instance name "square" by using string variables

the following code tints the movieClip a shade of orange
========================
var squareColor = new Color("square");
squareColor.setRGB(0xff9900);
========================

no problem, but i would like to define the "0xff9900" part elsewhere, maybe from a DB or a text file say.

so am trying the following code and i cant seem to get it to work

========================
userChoice="0xff9900"
var squareColor = new Color("square");
squareColor.setRGB(userChoice);
========================

does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work??

thanks in advance
