View 2 RepliesI'm trying to take a png and create two images, one that represents the color data and the other a grayscale version of the alpha channel.
Extracting the correct data was no problem, i'm just embedding the png, creating a new instance (as a Bitmap) and then extracting the relevent channels of it's bitmapData to two new bitmapData instances.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source='/../deploy/images/alpha_test.png')]
public var image : Class;
[code]....
The problem that i'm having, is that when i assign the colors bitmapData to a bitmap instance to display it, the background color is showing as black, even though the default fillColor of a bitmapData instance is white. how i can use the alpha channel data to create an 8 bit, grayscale image, that's the reverse of the channel?
I'm loading in some data from an XML into Flash then searching a level and returning a number depending on how many nodes are on that level (at the moment is "2") Then I collect bits of info from each and trace the results which works fine, problem is I can't seem to create a separte textbox for each result?
Code:
_root.total = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
venue[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[8].firstChild;
team_a[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;
team_b[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild;
kick_off[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[5].firstChild;
trace((venue[i]) + ": " + (team_a[i]) + " v " + (team_b[i]) + ", Kick off at " + (kick_off[i]));
I thought I would just need to write something like:
fixture[i].text = (venue[i]) + ": " + (team_a[i]) + " v " + (team_b[i]) + ", Kick off at " + (kick_off[i]);
But that doesn't work..it just displays the 2nd result
What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?

View 3 RepliesI 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).
View 3 RepliesI need to use actionscript to change the color of a movieclip..
Heres my setup: need to change the color of head.stripes using a palette of colors. Whats the easiest way to do this?
If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
View 6 RepliesThis is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 RepliesHow 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.

View 8 RepliesI 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.

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?
how can I change the color of a selected piece of text dynamically? I tried somethings like this (the function is called by a button):
Code:

but I guess 'sel' isn't a string, so i can't add textColor to it? Adding something like:
Code:
sel = new String(begin, end); doesn't help much.

in FlashBuilder I want to dynamically generate approximately 1200 rectangles from a CSV file (these are all different colours) which will perform an action on Click.
What is the best way to go about doing this? I've read that the drawing API on Air and Android is not a good idea, and am thinking about using the Spark Rectangle class, but I can't seem to work out how to apply a colour to it if I'm generating them dynamically using AS?

View 1 RepliesI am attempting to dynamically change the color of a subset/portion of text in a Spark TextArea control. Using the MX-based TextArea, I could leverage the mx.controls.textClasses.TextRange type and change the color directly as follows:
TextRange tr = new TextRange(theTextAreaControl, false, beginIndex, endIndex);
tr.color = somePredefindColor;
Input Parameters to TextRange constructor:
1st argument: The TextArea control that will provide access to the underlying textField property
2nd argument: Indicates the TextRange will not modify the content of the TextArea
3rd argument: The beginning index position in the TextArea text string
4th argument: The ending index position in the TextArea text string
How would I go about doing this for a Spark-based TextArea control? I am looking to dynamically change the font color for a range of text, not just the entire TextArea AND I cannot statically specify the font color. The problem I run into when trying to re-use the TextRange type is that the 1st argument is expected to provide the textField property, which is currently not on the Spark-based TextArea control. I thought about extending the Spark-based TextArea control to provide this accessor property but that seems like overkill and is probably not the best approach.
