my current idea is that I'll have a sprite as a swf. This sprite has 2 dynamic colors (if you don't know what that is, imagine a sprite that has a color depending on which team he is in, something like that). So I'll have 3 clips on 3 layers.
- non colour
- colour 1
- colour 2
thing is, I don't want it to be solid colours. (and i'm not the artist.) Am I heading in the right direction?
i have been doing this tutorial http:[url]..but i am stuck on PART 8, i have done everything the tutorial has said so far (although my image and the colors used are different) but the large blank box at the top of the color pallet isnt changing color when i click on any color from the pallet.
Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.
I am creating a dynamic text box, defining it as html, and reading a text to it from xml file. is there a way for me to pick some words in the text and color it in a different color from the one defined when creating the text box?
View 2 RepliesIn my AdvancedDataGrid, I am adding dynamic values to cells by dragging a cell value to other cells. While copying, I am setting the value to listData and setting the Red color to the value in ItemRenderer. Everything is working fine, but when I scroll down/up, the values remains in the cells where thay are supposed to be(as I am setting to listData) but the coloring behaves wierd(as I am trying to set the color in ItemRenderer).
I don't want to store the color of the value, but I should be able to see the dynamically created values in Red color. Is there a way, I can do this? Do I need to set the color to actual dataprovider object and then check in ItemRenderer?

I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

I've done color transforms elsewhere but I can find an example, and I'm pretty sure they are very straight forward... yet. I keep getting this error:1119: Access of possibly undefined property ColorTransform through a reference with static type flash.geom:Transform.

How is it done? All I've seen on the web is how to change the color. Well how about going back. I'm talking about a MC with many colors. I can't just change back to a single hexadecimal color.
I can accomplish the change as it passes over a frame, but I can't get it to change back.
In the frame is this:
Code:
cHurtColor = new Color(_root.compMC);
cHurtColor.setRGB(0x00FF33);

View 3 Repliesi have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:

And It seems to work but this is creating a new rect. Which I do not want.
And I have tried ColorTransform, and that changes everything, even the border, which is not what I wanted. And I am not able to colortransform and then set the border color.
So how can I change the color of a sprite without changing the border color?
I have created a sprite as below:
var arrowHeadRight:Sprite = new Sprite();
with(arrowHeadRight.graphics){
beginFill(0xDDDDDD, 1);
moveTo(50,0);
lineTo(0,50);
[Code]...
On Mouse Over, I wish to change the color of the fill on this shape? Can this be done or do I have to re-draw the graphics with an updated beginFill line?
Detail: I am reading some data from SVG and getting them as Sprite objects; now I need to change the fill color of these sprite objects dynamically without affection the outline color. I gave it a try with ColorTransform but that changes everything in the object.
PS: I already tried searching the forum for the same thing but search seems to have some technical issues... therefore had to

We're trying to find the most optimal memory solution to doing Player Color in a flash game for sprite animation. We're using CS3 Action Script 3.0. Basically we're using sprite animation but currently for every player we create a duplicate set of animations with just different color. This is very expensive. Vector graphics tend to slow down performance too much for our games so we need to use bitmaps and would like to stick to that. So for a bitmap the alpha channel really only needs 2 values 0 for transparent 1 for draw the pixel. Is there any way I can use the other 254 values for a player color algorithm. The best we've come up with is to do 1 set of animations & 1 set of color mask animtions. So in total we would have 2 full set of animations for 2-x players. The Color mask seems to need to be 32 bits. So what I have is 2 questions.
1) Is there a way we can make 1 set of bitmap animations but use the 254 other values in the alpha channed to do player color?2) Is ther a way to use a Mask set of animations but only use 8 bit not 32 bit?

Is it possible to have dynamic sprite names? For example if I am constructing a tile map from an array how can i give each sprite object a different name and referense it later?
in actionscript you could just do
attachMovieClip("blah"+i+"_"+j...
and reference it with root[name]
how could I achieve this with actionscript 3?
I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.
View 1 RepliesI'm tryin to set the global focus to a specific class that already exists on the stage after I remove a popup dialog from the screen. I pass the name of the class that was on the stage before the popup dialog is shown by string to the popup class.So public function PopupMenu(pClass:String)after I remove the popup dialog, I want to restore focus back to the previous class so it can accept key events again.How would I set focus to an instance of an object on stage. Currently I have something like this:
Main.mainStage.focus = (InteractiveObject)(getDefinitionByName(prevClass));
but it returns this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.cox::IdleScreen$ to flash.display.InteractiveObject.

I'm wondering (based on scoping rules) how I might do the following: I want to draw to a sprite that exists on the main stage in which I have a class instantiated.
So something like
public function MyClass(reference:String){

Would I use super() in this case, or what's the usual methodology?
I am trying to build a flip clock that utilizes filmstrip pngs. I have the main class instantiaing instances of the flipper class to hold the different number postions of the clock and then I want to tell the flipper instances to animate when the timer reaches a certain point in the main class. The problem is when I tell the flipper class to start animating I get a null value error from the flipper class.[code]Ok I guess writing it our helps figured out that the flipper wasn't through loading when I tried to call its properties, duh. Now can someone refresh my memory on how to broadcast an event to the Main class when the flipper class is done animating? I know I have to set bubbling to something but can't remeber exactly what it is. Also its not letting me create a singleton instance of the Main class in the Flipper class, I've done this before in other projects can someone tell me what I am missing on this one?
