ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Creating Color Swatches?
Apr 19, 2008
I have to do this drawing application, and I want to integrate almost as much colors as Flash has, in it's standard swatch picking thingy, i.e 18x12 = 216 swatches. In other words, A LOT of them The only idea I've come up with is creating an array of colors, but...this requires me to note down 216 different hexa codes and then writing them into an array. I may be lazy, but this sounds really tedious and annoying, really.

In coloring an object using the toolbar fill palette, I'd like to simply be able to double click on the color swatch in the toolbar, rather than click on the swatch and mouse down to the color and click again with the eyedropper. What's happening is that the color swatch in the toolbar contains a variety of colors around the one that it nominally represents. e.g. If the swatch is ff0000, double clicking on the swatch is likely to color the selected object anywhere from f30000 to fe0000 depending on precisely where in the swatch you double click.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3. I'm a designer by training and have been tossed into coding by happenstance. My perfect scenario: User sees an easily navigable list of colors, each with swatch (like a small square) and name (text). (I basically want something like the InDesign color swatch list, in dropdown or list form.) She selects a color. Appropriate movie clip is filled with said color. First of all I'm not even sure what component to use. I had a ComboBox that was working great except for only showing color names, not swatches. I could use a custom data provider with the ColorPicker, but the user needs to see our assigned color names.
Is a TileList my best bet? If so, how do I set up a TileList with color swatches and names to then change the color of a movie clip when the user selects a color? I can make it work (except for swatches showing) with my data provider set up with color name in the label spot and hex value in the data spot, with simple code of this sort:

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);
trace(i);
}

I'm currently working on a little practice .fla file I've been working on. What I have now is an altered version a 'game' I made recently. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a new instance and color by having the user drag the object into the black (target) area. In short I want the user to drag one of my shapes (movieclips) and while keeping the original shape in place, move the copy version into the target and have the copy change to a different random color. Attached is a copy of my file.
Here is code I have thus far, I have tried a few options but they seem to throw off my application.
var counter:Number = 0;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveObject);
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,releas eObject);
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,move Object);

I am currently working on a map of the US that is interactive. My goal is to be able to mouse over the states and have them turn red and then a window with contact information will open at your mouse when clicked. I am running into a few problems. I dont know the process for creating a color tween for my movieclips. my solution was to make a copy of the states, color them red and place them behind the gray ones and attatch an event listener to all the states that lowers their alpha when moused over. thats not really the problem though. for my code that i have used to call in the window is as follows. I will use texas as an example.

I'm creating a new Color object in CS5. Essentially I'm using a component slider and linking the value to 360 hue and converting that value to color hex to pass into a color object which will be assigned to an object (in this text case a standard square movieclip). However, when compiling I keep getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type Number.

I need a function that iterates i++ style to go from white to black or (even better) white full alpha to white no alpha.I tried messing with 255,255,255 stuff but its not the same as the hex 0xFFFFFF and if i try it i always get blue for the value 255. and 0 for black (in my experiments) also tried [255,255,255,1] (black no matter the value).

How can I change the color of a movieclip dynamically and still keep it's filters? For example:
I have a movieclip on stage with a bevel filter on it. I then want the movieclip to change from blue to red when it's moused over and vise versa when moused out.
The color values I have are hexidecimal: 0xff0000, 0x0000ff
How can I do this? I tried colortransform but when I use that it changes color but removes filters.

I am changing colors of an mc dynamically, in this way: I have an mc of the color green for example. What I want is it to turn to a specific color in time. I have in that mc a sprite, that is that specific color (red in this case). iIset it's alpha to 0 and put it in the layer above the green part. Now when I set its alpha to 1, it will be that colour. When I set it to 0.5 ofcourse it'll be a mix between those colours. Is it faster to do it, but changing 0xFFFFFF? I wouldn't know how to do it though. i want to be able to tell it to go 3/4 of color nr 1 and 1/4 of color nr 2, for example. i also want to be able to choose those colours specificly, for the sake of art. so just choosing 0xFF0000 for red, wont do, for artistic reasons.

In a nutshell, the swf contains four ads (which link to portions of the site) and each ad uses the Timer element, displaying it for 5 seconds before moving on to the next one. Everything has come together nicely (although I'd like to clean up the code and use classes at a later date - I'm currently taking AS training from Lynda.com).
What's giving me trouble right now is the navigation bar. What I want to do is create four numerical buttons that a) change color during a mouse roll over b) change color for a corresponding ad (for example, when the third ad displays, the number "3" changes from white to gray to show that it is active and goes back to white when the fourth ad comes up).
Right now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've tried making the numbers buttons, but I can't control color changes unless I create two sets of buttons: one with white numbers, one with gray numbers.This also makes for some really bizarre Actionscript coding ideas (ex: after I code the function for the gray nav buttons, I have to code functions that make the white buttons work - but this ends up screwing with the ad cycles). I tried making them as movie clips, but I lose the ability to assign a large hit area like I can with buttons.

I'm having issues changing a TextInput background color after the initial onLoad using AS2. On load, I have no issues setting the background color with this code:
Code:onClipEvent (load) { this.background = true; this.backgroundColor = 0x1E1C1C;}
However, I have a form validator run when focus is lost but yet I cannot set the background color at that point. For example, I'm trying to set the background color to orange and text to white if the field's contents are invalid. Even something simple like this doesn't affect the colors.

I am creating a program where a change in a value causes the color of a pie slice in an mx:PieChart to change dynamically.the code that is supposed to change the color is similar to this:(pieChart.pieChartSeries.items[i] as PieSeriesItem).fill = new mx.graphics.SolidColor(0,0.2); // black, almost opaquetracing out the results of this appears to apply the color to the particular PieSeriesItem, but the color does not change visually. I checked the AS reference and the fill property is of type iFill and should accept a solidColor instance. (note: I have also tried 0x000000 as a valid color, the first argument of SolidColor takes an uint)edit] Since I posted the question originally, I've added a few changes to clarify the question. am actually using an MXML component that extends < mx:PieChart > . Originally I was trying to set the color as listed above within an event handler in the main application. What I have done since then was invoke a method in my extended PieChart component, like so:
(in main applicaion)
private function someEventHandler(evt:someEvent):void{
pieChart.setPieSliceColor((pieChart.pieChartSeries.items[i] as PieSeriesItem));

I have a image declared like the following:
[Bindable]
[Embed( source="assets/banana.png" )]
public var iconBANANA : Class;
It is involving into itemRenderer, but I wish to change the color of the image when some event occurs (like clicking above or something). The rest of the objects used the image shall remain unchanged, only the object on which the event has occurred shall change the color of the image. But the biggest question is: How to change the image color mainly - like there is a Blue area on image - to turn it on Green, or Yellow?

Code:

Selection.setFocus(textFieldname);[code]....
but I guess 'sel' isn't a string, so i can't add textColor to it? Adding something like:
