I'm trying to dynamically change movieclip colors. My MovieClips (on the main timeline) are named box_mc1, box_mc2, box_mc3, etc. I have the following code, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.[code]I don't quite understand why the trace statement doesn't work either, but the mouse pointer changes to a hand when I move over the MovieClips.
View 2 RepliesI am a scientist who knows molecular biology well but is a neophyte to Flex/ActionScript. I created a ColumnChart representing a probability histogram. I want to allow users to select a range of values on the X-axis via 2 sliders separate from the chart itself (one for the minimum value, one for the maximum.) By default the column bars are blue. But when the user selects a range, I would like to highlight that range in the chart a different color (eg. orange). How can this be done using ActionScript?
View 0 Repliesi work at this place that does tons of partner sites for our main company, that all the same site, just with different color schemes and logos. i'm in the middle of redoing a lot of the elements and making them flash based. i realized if i can have a way of maybe dynamically loading the colors on the page from an exteral php or xml document, that i would save myself and other much work in the future. does anyone know if a way to do this? to load the color of something from an external document? i'm taking about fill colors here. i think i've seen it done with componients, but is there a strictly actionscript method?
View 6 RepliesI have a movieClip on stage with the instance named btn1_btn. The original movieClip is just a white box with a black stroke created with the box tool, but when its clicked I want it to change color.
I have created an event listener for the btn1_btn and I have tried numerous properties of the movieClip class like color, fill etc but I am having no luck.
Also, would it be a better way to have another box on top with the alpha at 0 then when the event function runs, have the alpha set to 1?
think.. in as2, i just want to make a movieclip change colors over a period of say 30 frames when i release a button.. is there a simple way to script this?

View 3 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.
the only thing I found in the documentation was loadBitMapdata and methods of that type. Not sure if that's what I want.
In particular, I have an existing movieclip that is linked in my library. It has a graphic, a timeline, etc. However, I want to dynamically change it to another graphic and timeline.
Do i have to create a new movie clip with the new graphic and timeline? But I still want to keep all the attributes of my original movieclip, I just want the new graphic and timeline.

View 1 RepliesI have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately.

I used the example of the "Changing Colors Using ActionScript" from your site to add to a rollover state on a movieClip. It works fine but how to I reverse the state when I rollOut. eg goes to black on rollOver and then back to its original full color image on rollOut?

View 5 RepliesI imported a .psd file that I created with Photoshop CS4 into Flash CS4 and the colors did not transfer over correctly. The colors (specifically the green text coloring) is a lot lighter/paler than they were in photoshop. How do I import a .psd over to Flash without the colors I used in Photoshop. Attached are a .jpeg image of what the photoshop file looks like and the resulting .SWF file after importing the .psd file.

View 1 RepliesI've got a few problems with this project at the moment. I've got the function to colour tween the shapes through actionscript. As you look through it seems ok but I am trying to get all 3 boxes to change colour. Unfortunately I can only get one to change. When looking at the functions called by the buttons the second box seems to take priority over the first one. How can I get all three boxes to change to my desired colours? [URL]. This is an MX 04 fla file.
View 5 RepliesLet's say a user can pick fifty different hat colors and styles to put on an avatar. The avatar can move his head around, so we'd need the same types of movements in the symbol for when that happens. Additionally, it gets which hat should be on the 'avatar' from a database. The problem is that we can't just make 50 different frames with a different hat on each. And each hat symbol will have the same movements, it'll just be different styles, colors and sizes. So how can I make one variable that is the HAT, that way we can just put the appropriate hat symbol into the variable and always be able to call Hat.gotoAndplay('tip_hat') or any other generic functions.... Does that make sense?

However I also need to change the colors of the button backgrounds and one of the display fields...I have macromedia flash 8, the fla and swf files.

I want to change the color of my image when I move the mouse over it. So I've prepared 2 images and this is the eventListener:
[Code]...
Unfortunately when I move the mouse over, I only see a blank image (error, image not found). However the compiler doesn't give me any error, and I tried to use the same path of the original image, and also to remove "../" in case he is referencing from root directory in run-time. But still nothing. The image is stored there, of course. However if I can apply an effect to change the color from blue to orange to my image (by preserving the transparency), I could solve differently

I have movie clips which I made act as buttons, (Previous, Pause/Play, Next).[code]...
The button is a non-filled circle with the proper symbol in the center.

How would I change the colors of the buttons in my movie clip? They are pre drawn images, that are stored in my library.

I'm building a project for a gaming website and i have an interesting dilemma. How do i make the font color change based on the data loaded from the external .txt file.
Example:
In text files i could have... yes yes yes no no maybe yes no. If the text says yes i would like for the font to change to green, if no to red, or maybe to orange/yellowish.
So basically if i went in and changed the No to a Yes on a .txt file, the next time i viewed that flash section the yes text would be in green instead of the default set by the flash core itself.
I hope i am making sense. I don't even know how to go about starting and i stared at the actionscript list for awhile to no avail.
