ActionScript 3.0 :: ColorTransform For An Element That Isn't Accessible?
Jan 8, 2010
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?

I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?

I have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.

I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().

Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.

In a game I'm working on, I'm using the ColorTransform class to the turn the 'enemies' red as they fall off the screen after they've been hit by one of the player's 'missles' with the following [code]...
Can I somehow undo the ColorTransform to an enemy once it has been applied, or does he have to stay monochromatic thereafter?

I'm trying to change the background color of my control panel but NOT the buttons using the function ColorTransform.
I have a feeling I'm doing something really silly so can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong here? Using the below code nothing happens...but if I change the line in bold to:
controlPanel.transform.colorTransform = cp;
Then the whole control panel does change colour! Here's the code...
var cp:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); var controlPanelColor:uint = config.controlPanelColor; var red_controlPanel:Number = (controlPanelColor & 0xFF0000) >> 16; var green_controlPanel:Number = (controlPanelColor & 0x00FF00) >> 8; var blue_controlPanel:Number = controlPanelColor & 0x0000FF; cp.redMultiplier =

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 have several buttons within a flash file. The hierarchy is this:mainmcholder workmc service1mc.All three are separate swf's loaded into holders. Now within service1mc, there are several buttons..clicking any buttons loads another external swf, related to that button, within an emtpy movieclip which is placed above these buttons. Now when one button is clicked, all the buttons are disabled and dimmed. When the user closes the external button-related swf, all buttons are enabled and _alpha is made 100 again.Everything works fine till the external button-related swf is closed. The buttons are disabled and dimmed, but when the swf is closed, the buttons are inaccessible.
I have placed the code within onLoadInit(), wherein the external swf (_mc), has an event listener attached to it. When the event is dispatched, (which is successfully completed), a function is executed, which is enabling the buttons. The function is also getting executed, but the buttons are not reachable. It seems to be a path issue.[code]I have used the same path for disabling them, and that seems to work.

I have installed eclipce and I want to work with flex.I found some site (url...) where somebody said that we need to install flex sdk. And than they said that we need to open window->preferences and on left side select 'Flex'. But I don't have 'Flex' item here... What is wrong? I also installed Flash Builder trial, but it does not make any sence.

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]

The 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.

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?

I'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?
Here is my code: You can also check the attached file

does anyone know how to make the flvplayback control accessible? meaning to be able to use the tab key to navigate the play,stop,fwd,back buttons? According to Adobe I should be able to load up a skin and its already set.
"All skins provided by Flash CS4 Professional support keyboard and screen reader access, so developers simply insert the FLVPlayback component on the stage in Flash no configuration is needed."
This is incorrect. I have tried to load several different skins and it fails, my coworker tried with her system "fail" I've managed to create my own playback bar (sorta) and was able to get the tab to work by assigning tab indexs however the flvplayback skins does not allow tab indexing.
I cant actionscript worth a lick so using my playback bar is not an option and the SkinUnderAllNoFullscreen playback was the chosen controller. point me in the right direction. Adobe and the forums over there were of no help.

I'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.
