I am trying to add alpha to a colorTransform, but it doesn't seem to be compile the alpha value, which is the 0x88 (50%) part :
Code:
//specify error color and add it to the 'crosshair' mc
var safetyLimitColor:ColorTransform = crosshair.transform.colorTransform;

If I have a movie clip that contains stuff with transparency, and then I apply a colorTransform on it, the the transparency is gone...how can I tint a movie clip but maintain its transparency?
View 4 RepliesI have two sprites with a yellow ring around them, of alpha 0.4. The sprites move around, and when they come in contact with each other, the overlapping portions of the rings gets darker (I guess its alpha 0.8?). Is there a way to prevent this? I would like the overlapping parts to look the same as the rest, ie, alpha 0.4.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to construct an animation illustrating the angle of a circle.The user types in a value and the handle gets rotated on a timer tick. (Press Enter or the ndra-button to see the effect): Example So far so good.Now - my problem is when the rotation gets bigger than 360 degrees. I would like the arc's alpha to get darker, to see it draw upon the "existing" arc line. But I don't know how to do that and I can't find code for doing it, either.[code]The DrawingShapes.drawArc method comes from here.If anyone could point me in the right directon on how graphic updating works. I tried not removing the lineHolder from stage when it's updated, but that just made the line's alpha 1 instantly. I would like it to "gradually" get filled in when the arc exceeds 360 degrees.
View 1 RepliesI have embedded a font type in my application. Its working fine inside a text area. Now i need to add 60% transparency to it. In fact I need multiple transparency levels. Like -
60 % transparency for TextARea
70% for WindowShade Header etc.
How do I add alpha values to it?
I have this FLV movie file that's got a premultiplied alpha channel and I want to insert it into a webpage to play as an animation, I imported it into flash and that's where I'm a bit lost as to how to make it appear transparent
The video looks to be inverted so background is black and the animation is white so if I try to publish it like that it just stays the same so it doesn't look right

[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;

using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.

I've got a class that I'm using to set a menu button. the class has a rollover and roll out state, and on init of the class i set a color transform to set some colors in that button since i'm reusing five of these so i thought it'd be best to do it in a class and just reuse one movieclip.
anyway, when i roll over the clip for the first time, it works fine and the proper color shows, as soon as the roll out is initiated, the color switches back to my original color that i just used as a dummy color, and from there on out it won't show the proper color in that clip anymore. it's really odd to say the least.

I am trying to use the ColorTransform.color method to retrieve the RGB value of a ColorTransform object, but there's obviously something about it I don't understand. The implementation is:
-public function get color():uint
-public function set color(value:uint):void.
I don't understand how to use this type of function. The functions I am used to only have one word in their name, like getColor() or setColor().I can get a number to return using the color method by doing this: trace (someDisplayObject.transform.colorTransform.color) ; but it is not a good color number.[code]
Basically, I have been asked to develop a function on a Flash player so that you can change the colour of the control panel using a variable.The control panel's background elements aren't accessible from the main class; they're private members because the panel's layout and appearance are something I might want to change without having to change the main classHow on Earth can I directly modify a control panel's colour transform when they aren't directly accessible? I've looked at various forum posts but nothing matches exactly what I'm after I guess this will involve using colorTransform but how do I invoke this on something that sits in the fla file?
View 3 RepliesThe official docs say:
You must use the new ColorTransform() constructor to create a ColorTransform object before you can call the methods of the ColorTransform object.
So does this mean every time I want to tweak the color transform, I have to create a new instance? If so, the setter properties seem pretty pointless and my tests are showing this is the case.
So if every render I want to cycle say the redOffset based on time (to get a pulsing effect), do I have to manually create a new ColorTransform passing all constructor args from this.transform.colorTransform:
var newRedOffset:Number = ...
transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform(
transform.colorTransform.redMultiplier, transform.colorTransform.greenMultiplier,

(Flash Professional, AS3) I'm working on a custom avatar system where you can select various festures and colors. For example, I have a "hair" movieclip that has 10 hairstyles. Each frame has a movieclip of a different hairstyle (HairStyle1, HairStyle2, etc.). I also have a colorPicker to change the color. Here's my code:
[Code]...
This correctly changes the initial color. I have a "nextHair" button to advance mc_myAvatar.hair to the next frame. When I click the button, I get an error message saying that I have a null object reference. I added a trace, and mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null on frame 2. I've clearly named HairStyle2 as "colorLayer" in frame 2. I think the problem is related to me using the same name for different classes/movieclips, but I don't know how to fix the problem...
I added a square movieclip below my hairStyle movieclips, named the square "colorLevel", and deleted the name from my hairStyle clips. When I click the next button, the square correctly maintains the color from frame to frame. However, having a square doesn't do me much good. I tried converting the hairStyle layer to a mask. Doing this, however, results in yet another "null object" error - mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null after frame 1. I even tried "spanning" my colorLevel across all frames (no keyframes), thinking that this would give me just one movieclip to work with. What's going on, here? Why am I getting these null objects, when they are clearly defined in my movieclip? I'm also open to suggestions on a better way to do multiple frames and colors.
i missed something in the Aplly of ColorTransform, but i can't see...I made a background for the menu buttons that changes depending to the container x position.the problem is that it changes the text color too, and I don't figure why... here is the code :

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

How can I pass in RGB values to a ColorTransform object? I set the red, green, and blue multipliers but I'm not getting the desired results.The movieclip is grayscale originally and then i do this and all i get is black (it should be yellow):[code]I adjusted each color's offset to 0 and I still had the same results. Do I need to convert to hex values?

View 4 RepliesI'm using flash 8 professional with AS 2. I'm trying so set a tint using actionscript on a dynamically created mc using the ColorTransform method. I'm trying to set a 50% black tint, similar to the effect one would get when doing it in the properties panel using the Color setting.
My code so far:
Code:
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
colorTrans.blueOffset = -127;
colorTrans.redOffset = -127;
colorTrans.greenOffset = -127;
This is applied elsewhere in my project and is working fine. My problem is that this is pushing up the saturation of the mc's, thus all orange colors appear red etc.
I have faced a very funny problem. My requirement was detection of a MovieClip color. I have used ColorTransform method to fetch the color but failed.Then I went through the getPixel method by creating a Bitmap of the Mclip and then used getPixel method. It is working fine, but whenever I am changing the color of theta Mclip by colorTranform method and then again creating a Bitmap of that Mclip, it is drawing the old Bitmap image again and again.
Is there any solution of getting a color code of a Mc except getPixel?What is the solution of this problem?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to apply a colorTransform to certain indecies of an array. So far, I've had no success. I think the issue I'm having is with using the proper syntax... I've tried
PHP Code:
nArray[0].transform.colorTransform = 0x000000;
b0.transform.colorTransform = 0x000000;
etc.
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 ??
