ActionScript 2.0 :: Using SetRGB Overrides The Color Of Dropshadow
Jan 26, 2009
I am trying to set up a dynamic flash movie so i can set the color of text with a dropshadow applied using setRGB.
Here is the code i am using to set the text color (simple setRGB call):
var my_color:Color = new Color(this.tagLine_txt);
my_color.setRGB(tagLineColor);
Now here is the problem, setRGB automatically makes my dropshadow color the same as the fill color. The only solution i have found is to stack two identical text boxes on top of one another and then setting the dropshadow on the text behind to black to make it look proper.
I have tried using filter to set the dropshadow color as well with no luck:
// Makes the filter available to use in the Movie.
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
// Creates a variable with info about the Filter settings
[Code]....

I have imported an FLV file into Flash CS3, and chosen "Progressive Download from a Web Server" as my deployment option.
It appears that none of the stock skins make any provisions for a deployment in "pause" mode, so I figured I would just specify that in the Publsh Settings. It would also appear that when deploying in this manner, all (or many) of the Publish Settings are being overridden either by unseen code in the small generated .swf file, or in the skin's own .swf file.
Is there anyway to publish where the generated movie loads in the browser in paused mode other than embedding the video in an .swf and playing in the timeline?

Sorry for the lack of a better title. This is a clear as I can postulate the question, so forgive me lack of coding background. The situation is this: inside a MC there are frames with a pause script as such...

I'm using this code into a mouse over and mouse out listener , to change the color of a TextField.
Code:
var ct:Color = new Color();
ct.setTint(0xFF0000, 0.5);
mc.transform.colorTransform = ct;
The problem is that the dropShadow filter associated with the TextField (applied in the flash UI) is gone when this colorTransform applies.
Should I apply the filter dynamically, is that the only solution ??

I was wondering whether it would be possible to perform operations on Filters, specifically the DropShadow filter, such as resizing it (scaleX scaleY).

I am wondering how I could create a dropshadow on a container that would give the appearance that the container is lower than its parent. Normally the dropshadow is applied primarily to the outside of the right and lower sides. What I want to achieve is a dropshadow to be applied to the inside of the top and left sides. The idea is to give the appearance that the container is embedded into its parent.

I have an input Text Field with the autoSize property set to true, a DropShadow filter, and with a default text value of "Your text here".When the user enters text in the Text Field, and if their entry exceeds the length of the default text, everything typed after that length is reached APPEARS to have been truncated.
However, when I turn the DropShadow off, the TextField expands to the requirements of the newly entered text. This proves that the TextField actually autosized, but just didn't show the additional characters when the DropShadow was applied. I can then turn the DropShadow back on, showing all of the text in the Text Field. how to autoSize a textfield(so that the user can actually see the expanded TextField) when a DropShadow filter has been applied?

i have a for loop to attach a movieclip X times, and an Array with several color codes to apply in the loop.everything works fine with the setRGB. the movies have an internal background movieclip that gets the color i want to apply.
the thing is the movieclip's loose the animation i created to that internal movie (the one who get's the color). they do not respond to gotoAndPlay, or gotoAndStop...i disabled the setRGB lines, and the movie's play fine now. does setRGB transform my movieclips to a bitmap or something? disabling every animation inside?

col = new Color(this);[code]....
is how im doing it in flash - simple - but why is SWFO disabling it? .. is it something to do with the parameters?

I'm working on a game, and to keep performance good, instead of addChild'ing 50 new sprites to the stage every second, I decided to have each player draw to their own bitmap, and then to the 'master' bitmap. This introduces an issue though: the second player would override all data the first player has put into to bitmap...My basic debugging proof of concept:
Code:
// bitmap test
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Bitmap;[code]......

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
_global.tinta=0xFF0000;
tintb=0xFF0000;
box = new Color("_root.boxy"); //This instance is named "boxy"
} onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
box.setRGB(tintb); //Turns it red
}
This works and makes the box red. However, if I change it so it's "box.setRGB(_global.tinta)", it turns it black. Even setting "tintb=_global.tinta" and using the "box.setRGB(tintb)" doesn't work any more. Why doesn't setRGB() like _global variables?

See, I have a Symbol- in's an animation of a "Cycler" (bicycle driver) seen from above and I want to use a function to duplicate it with actionscript as needed.
So far so good, has been done before.
But in this Symbol I have "sub-Symbols" on the timeline (within the Cycler's animation)... how would I do it to use a setRGB on one of them for each duplicated driver individually? The way I tried it now (see attached files) makes the animation stop for the sub-Symbols I use setRGB on (in my example the shirt of the left Cycler and the helmet of the right Cycler).
Why does the animation stop? I had a similar problem before and I solved it by coloring a fixed simple square on a layer and the animation for the motion was really a mask, ontop of it... but why doesn't it work like this?
Feel free to test is yourself- I am open to suggestions. The Cyclers are called "Biker_1" and "Biker_2" and the sub-Symbols are called "Helm", "Koerper" and "Rumpf", for the Helmet, the Body and the "Rump" of the Cycler.

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?
