I have a movieclip containing a vector drawing, can I dynamically change the color of the fill and line in AS2, or do I need to use setRGB and divide the movieclip?

Drawing a line runtime with the drawing API:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("line",1);
// with set color 0x000000 :
lineStyle (2, 0x000000, 100);
...
but after the line is draw, want to change the color of "line" The:
mYColor = new Color(line);
//mYColor = new Color(_root.line);
myColor.setRGB(0x00FF00);
is not working, for this Is there any other way to change the color or need to draw again the line?

I've created a colour palette and given each colour a unique number and name (E.g. V123 Plum, V456 Ruby). Also the colour names is being loaded from a mysql database.
When the name of the colour is loaded in to a dynamic box , I want to fill an object in that colour.
var mycol1 = V123 Plum;V123 Plum = "0xFF6600"colorchange.setRGB(mycol1);
var mycol2 = V456 Ruby;
V123 Plum = "0xFFCC00"colorchange.setRGB(mycol2);
I am struggling to find a way to animate a fill of text in Flash CS4. The concept I am looking for is that over a time period have the color rise from the bottom to the top. My initial attempt was to have 2 objects, one filled with the color and the other filled with white. I was hoping to just adjust the borders of the object or text to have it disappear, but that just reshapes the object, not cropping it. If you know how to crop into objects and reveal the object beneath, let me know.
I am very new to Flash so hopefully it is a simple answer, but I am not seeing it yet.
I'm trying to make a preloader in which a grayscale logo fills with color based on the number of frames loaded. What I've done is make a static grayscale version of the logo named border and a colored in version on top of it named LoadBar.I have this code in frame 1,
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code]....
but now it's telling me this.onRelease = function () { must appear within an on handler. I thought that onRelease was an on handler.
I'm creating a flash based dynamic electrical circuit board and have come across a problem. I have a function that is a fired from ENTER_FRAME event that loops though an array where each element contains the following:
'#parentObject1#ChildObject1#parentObject2#ChildOb ject2#Colour'
To Clarify - A line should be drawn from ChildObject1 to ChildObject2 in the saved colour. The above is a string. I slice at each '#', which is working. Each object gets added through my created toolbox so added dynamically.I can get the DisplayOBject of the parents by using - var obj1:displayObject = getChildByName(sliced[1]);
But cannot do the same for the Child object by - var subobj1:displayObject = obj1.getChildByName(sliced[2]);The reason for this is that each parent can be dragged so I would like the drawn line to move with the children.how to find the child objects
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
Right now I can create a straight line from mouse down to mouse up. What I can't quite get is a preview of that line. does anyone know of a simple way to show a preview of the line while the mouse is still down and the user is moving the mouse?
What I have now:
Code:
var clip:Shape = new Shape();
addChild(clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startLine);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drawLine);
function startLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
} function drawLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
clip.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xff9933);
}

View 1 RepliesHow can I make the color from a mc, a square with a flat fill, fade from one color to another (by using actionscript only) ?
View 4 RepliesHoping 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.
View 7 RepliesI am looking for a way to change stroke color via AS3. The objects I would like to change are created with flash professional. They do have a fill.

View 1 RepliesI am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.

I am developing a white board application which allows the user to draw line with arrow head (some like Microsoft Word line with arrow feature). I am using graphics property along with lineTo() method to draw a line. Now i have to draw a angular arrow on the last point of line. I am drawing the arrow by connecting the points around last points. As 360 line can pass through this point and each line can have a different angle of arrow.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a bitmap fill, but I can't seem to get it to work.I'm using FlashDevelop with assets imported from CS4 - this isn't the problem, I can instantiate the asset I'm targeting perfectly fine, so I suspect that it's a problem with what I'm trying to do. Here's my code:
Code:
//get the bitmap data from a grass symbol
//grass symbol IS present - can be added to stage fine
var grassBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(155, 80);[code]....
Nothing gets displayed in the box, so I'm suspicious that I'm not allowed to use bitmap fill in non-primitive shapes.
I what to make a function that is drawing a square without the fill only the lines in refresh(sometime fast, sometime slow). And I don't have a clue about the starting point of this function.

View 3 RepliesBasically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.

Im building a pretty simple drawing board in flash, i got this code from this forum and it works fine (there is more to it but this is the drawing part)[code]This works fine. But i want to be able to erase the drawings, step by step this is ths tricky part, ive looked everywhere(ok not everywhere) but in a whole lot of places but the only thing i found is how i could delete everything with removeChild and that in not what i want. Maybe i need to change the function abowe? Please help me to get in the right direction. What should i read about /look at?
View 5 Repliesok so I am trying to draw a curve and then make it into a mask, the problem is, flash only calculates the mask for a fill and thus using the line does not work. Does anyone know of a way to convert a line to a fill with as3 without using something like bitmap data as I would like to keep it as vector data if possible, below is my code:
ActionScript Code:
line = new Sprite();
this.addChild(line);

This is my scenario: I have a pencil that uses the simple drawing feature. When the mouse is pressed and dragged, the pencil draws a line. Basic stuff. What i want to do is have the line be a 'graphite' type of color, instead of the boring black, red etc. I'm thinking that i would use a mask with the graphite color layer on the bottom, and a blank white layer on top, then when the line is drawn, the pencil is actually erasing the top layer, to reveal the bottom graphite layer.

I am currently learning to use flash and i am following the ebook guide. On lesson 2 at the end, it requests you to select a complex shape, go to the bucket option and change the fill colour to dark brown. I tried that but the fill option has a red line across it and it cannot be selected. I need to complete this step if i want to finish lesson 2. I tried different things but it seems like the shape cannot be edited. I looked and it is not locked.[url]...
View 2 RepliesI've been working in flash for an independent studies course and I've come across an issue that is halting my class's progression. My Fill Color swatch is stuck as a transparent color and when i attempt to change it by clicking a color or typing in the color's code it doesn't change. Update:
-The issue is still there, but I've found that if I click the "black and white" option it enables the ability to change the fill color again, but only after that.-
-Another issue is that the color of text is also stuck on transparent unless I go into the color window, the box that allows you to select custom colors, and select a color from there.
I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class greenFillOne extends UIComponent {
