Flash :: Hex Color As Variable In Color Object?

How To Use Variable In Color Object?
I would like to use a variable in the color object but dont know how to. What I am using is:
myColor = new Color(bg);
myColor.setRGB(bgcol1);
Here the RGB value is stored in the variable bgcol1 which is '0xffffff'. But its not working. I am getting the variable bgcol1 from a database. Is there a way to use the variable in the color object?? I have a book in which I want the pages in different colors and so I have taken a variable bgcol in the database and bgcol1 corresponds to page 1's color and so on. I am being able to get the correct values in the variables but somehow in the color object it doesnt work. Kindly help.

If it can be done.... am I just using the wront syntax?

[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.

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.

How Would I Go Changing Lots Of Movieclips Color And Border Color Seperatly?
I am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come.
I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"?
I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.
thanks.

Color Object How To?
I want to change the the color of a movie clip with actionscript, but i want it to change in increments.
I have been messing with the color objects but i have not used them before so i am no quite sure what i am doing. Could someone tell me how i can go about getting this done.

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.

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;
//

//
var MAX1 = temp.length;
for (k = 0; k < MAX1; k++) {

mcLevel++;
trace(temp[k]);

c._x -= 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 ?
in the first frame of my movie I have this code:

[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 Help Please
hello
i am sure you know the color picker sample from the flash samples (http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/sample_files/...)

I want to have 2 sets of sliders, and 2 preview boxes, so i can change their colours individually.

This is what i have so far. Only the second part of the script, for the second slider, works. Can you please tell me why? it's something with the function, there seems to be some conflict and overwriting going on...

thank you

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

Thanking you in advance

[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?

Assign Color To New Sprite In Order Of Color Wheel?
Is there a way to know the offset from one color to the next?

For example, I would like to create Sprite Balls, and have each be assigned a new color. But, I don't want it to be completely random color. I'd like it to be in order of the color chart slightly.

So if the first color is Red lets say, the next color would be a Yellow, then Green, then Aqua, then Blue, then Magenta, and back to Red. They don't need to be the absolute color, but in the general vicinity. Is this possible to do dynamically? What would the multiplier need to be to get to the next grouping of colors?

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.
