I am creating a shaded map and really don't want to assign colors to each country in longhand. I created a function to color my MCs.
function colorMe(obj:Object, clr:uint):void
{
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = obj.transform.colorTransform;
colorTransform.color = clr;
[code].....
I store the needed color in the XML as something like <clr>0XE5ACEA<clr>.Shouldn't this work:
var b:Number = 0;
function loadXML(e:Event):void
{
var xml = new XML(e.target.data);
[code].....
Instead, I get this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@2ac36821 to flash.geom.ColorTransform.
I have a simple .fla file with a circle on the stage. I want to set actionscript to make the circle randomly change colors when playing. I've tried all sorts of script commands using math random but to no avail
View 4 Repliesreason is i'm copying this grayscale Perlinnoise smoke image and makig it such that the darker the color, the more transparent it is. (I'musingcopyChannel.RED/GREEN/BLUE->CopyChannel.ALPHA). But right now, it's the other way round at the moment (ie. the brighter the pixel, the more opaque it is.). I want it to be more transparent instead (inversely proportional), so if i could find simple & fast way invert the alpha channel, it would do me so much more good. (I need a fast method...performance is critical!)
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to automatically assign an object to a class during testing project? I know you can do so by assigning in a movie clip's property the identifier but I need to know if I'm say creating a game, and it gives the user the ability to choose a player, I need that player/movie clip that the user chose to be assigned to a specific actionscript class.

I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?

which if applied, would have no effect, but would be valid (actually not exactly that matrix, but you get the idea). i want to set the values of the matrix and the object should be affected by those values that i set by myself, no scale rotate or any predefined operations. how can i set my own matrix?
How you can assign a class to an object on stage.[code]...
This would make a new object, but the current object already exists, it just needs to be notified that it's of the type "ClassName" so it can inherit it's properties.I've also tried assigning the "ClassName" in the linkage as either the base path or the class name. But in either situations I get an error saying that the class needs to be unique when I use the same class on multiple objects.
This is a work around question:
lets say I have the following:
onstage:
this.someobject
this.someobject.x
this.someobject.y
is there a way to assign the x or y property
var xORybject;
so that the following is evaluated correctly
this.someobject[this.xORy] == this.someobject.x || this.someobject.y
I have created an object called myObj.
How do I create a class that I can call that will assign properties to myObj such that PHP Code:
myObj = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...?
BTW, I do not want to just say
PHP Code:
var myObj:Object = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...because in fact I am going to be creating a bunch of objects all having the same properties, and there will be many more such objects.
I am really confused with this tutorial as there is shown how to assign z dimension to the Sprite object. It is never declared, so I assume the z property should be implemented to the Sprite class. But obviously I get an error when I try to build the application does not matter if it is flash or flex app. From my point of knowledge I can not find z property for Sprite in the actionscript, so I do not know how Lee implemented his code to work. Below I put all the code from the tutorial, so you can quickly glimpse at it. How is it possible to assign z dimension to work it, or suggest what kind of class to import or whatever I should do, or know anything about the z dimension in flash player 10.I do not really think z could be in 10-beta and is not in 10 official.

I have written a framework that facilitates RPC calls between AS3 and PHP 5 called FlashMOG. I recently got a forum request that has introduced a pretty bizarre question regarding access control. This will be a lot easier to discuss if you have access to the FlashMOG 0.3.1 client source which is here:
[code]...
The basic idea is that I have a FlashMOGService class which has an RPCSocket member that it may share with other FlashMOGService objects. The idea is that you can create two distinct FlashMOGService objects and have them both connect to the same host/port via socket. I use my special RPCSocket class for two reasons:
1) Let developers use one port but separate functionality into two distinct services...a form of multiplexing i guess
2) RPCSocket adds functionality to the standard Socket class that works to serialize and unserialize data and get it where it needs to go. The essence of the problem here is that created a class with a FlashMOGService object as a member and has tried to assign a private method of his class as an event handler to the FlashMOGService object:
[Code]....
My initial thought is that this should be fine because it's all done within the class. However, when I consider the monkey chain that results in this function being called, it seems almost logical that it wouldn't work. The problem is that the browser freezes when a socket message arrives that tries to call the service's client method, _service.client.firstClientMethod. This client firstClientMethod is attempted when data arrives from the server on the Socket (an RPCSocket, actually). The RPCSocket class deserializes the socket data and extracts an array with a service name, a method name, and an array of arguments. It looks into its own private class variable (an array of services using the RPCSocket) and tries to invoke whatever function was assigned thusly:
[Code]....
I'm guessing there's some kind of infinite loop going on to check access control for the various intertwined classes.
I am exporting a RGB Illustration done in Photoshop with really strong colours. I export it for my website from the option save for web, (I also tried save as with all kind of formats) but the colors get really pale when I took it in Flash. I don't understand, the same image has really bright strong colors in Photoshop. I tried to play with the option from flash - color- advanced- alpha,but they just get darker or wierder.

In screentshot 1 you can see that the Logo_Anim is made up of the Logo_1 - Logo_5 movie clips.Each of the logo_# clips is a piece of the logo.I'm not sure if something in the Logo_Anim is controlling the change in color of each piece of the logo, but it doesn't seem like the indiviual logo_#'s have any kind of setting..
I 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 2 RepliesWhen I import layers from Photoshop CS5 into Flash CS5 the colors aren't nearly as bright or as rich. I can compensate by increasing the saturation in PS5, resaving the file, and then re-importing it back into Flash. But it's hit and miss to get it right. It also usually takes several tries. I've tried uping the color in Flash by using the Properties panel for the individual files or movie clip but it's not the same.
View 1 RepliesI've been using a pipeline of copying complex vector data from Adobe Illustrator and pasting it into Flash Professional.In most instances, especially in the first instance, the colors during the import will remain the same, but sometimes they come in faded.This has happened across several versions of both software.This is the typical AI Import dialog, with layers not maintained and vector.it could potentially save me a lot of time I usually spend tweaking back to it's AI appearance.
