ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Get Color Value Through Variable
Dec 23, 2004
I read the tutorial on this site about changing the color values of an object, or of a movie clip. My question is: How can I get the value of a color from a variable. If I click the button, some rgb value should be stored in a variable and through some function I should get it. I wrote the function something like this:
on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(myVariable);
}
But it's not working.

I want to use a variable to set the color of text and graphics input by the user. I use the following code to set the variable:
var setColor:String;setColor = "0xff0000";
strokeColorBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, setStrokeColor);
function setStrokeColor(event:MouseEvent):void { setColor = "0xCCCCCC"; trace ("the new color is " + setColor);}
This works, and I am able to use the variable to set the color of type in a text field:
textFormat.color = setColor;
But when I try and use the variable to set the color of a graphic element:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor, 0.1);
I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to and unrelated type uint.
So I thought that I might have to cast the String as a uint, so I tried the following:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor as uint, 0.1);
That eliminated the error message, but it does not change the color.

I have two variables:
var defaultMainHexidec:Number = 0xFFFFFF;
var mainHexidec:Number;
If a value isn't assigned to mainHexidec I assign the default value as follows:
mainHexidec = defaultMainHexidec;
trace("mainHexidec = " + mainHexidec);
The trace returns the same value as the value returned when tracing the defualt value. But if I use mainHexidec as the fill for a rectangle, the color is black while the default value is white (or any other color). If I set the color using the default variable the fill appears correctly. If I set the number using the number traced in either defaultMainHexidec or mainHexidec (it traces the same number) the color is correct.

The fill function that I made works as long as you only need one color. How do I make a variable that will store the color? flash keeps giving me an error for trying to do it the way I am doing it.
Code:
fillit = function (d, e, f, g, color) {
color2 = "0x"+color
_root.lineStyle(1, 0x666666)

I am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?

i have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?

I'm making a flash app that allows you to create text, edit it. At some point, I need to get the text's color.
[Code]...
Then, you can stick the text on the movie and make a new one. During the creation of the movie clip holding the created text, all the format parameters of the text are passed to the movieclip. When I call back the .color parameter, it shows a value that isn't hex nor RGB... I've been googling for the last hour trying to find how to convert this back to RGB or hex values with no success. In this case, the value is : 65535

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.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this. Instead of creating a button and nesting movie clips for each state, I'm trying to script an animated button of a square (no fill) where on rollover the stroke color changes from one color to another (tweening the tint). I want to do this to the button symbol so it's the same for all instances. Is this possible or do I have to go the button > nested MC route? Sorry if this is lame...it's been awhile since I've used Flash and I've forgotten quite a bit.

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.
