ActionScript 3.0 :: Transform Multiple Colors Accordingly Without Taking Each Individual Color?
Jun 27, 2009
I have a project where I've been asked to allow a user to choose between multple color themes of a character. This object is complex in that it has multiple colors and that each color needs to change differently based on the theme's color scheme.
Is there a way to take a movieclip with multiple colors and apply process to it that will detect different colors and transform them accordingly without taking each individual color, making a movie clip from it, then modifying the movieclip's colors? Each character has a pretty limited color pallette, so this process would only have to find and then change maybe 3 or 4 colors. But the character in question is hand animated and has a LOT of frames, so I'm hoping there's a chance that I can handle this programmatically rather than doing it all by hand with a few hundred extra movieclips to make color changes to.

I've been looking for a JSFL command that might do this, but haven't come across anything even remotely similar to what I'm trying to achieve. Perhaps there is another solution besides JSFL that someone might know of.Question: Is there a way that I can select multiple symbols (either in a single frame or across multiple frames) and apply a scale transform that will adhere to each symbol's registration point?
Scenario:In an animation sequence, a movieclip of a tall rectangle is tweened on the timeline using "classic" tween. There are 20keyframes, where the mc changes position and rotation.In a duplicate of that animation sequence, I want to change the height of all instances of the mc in the animation, but keep the position and rotation. The rectangle should stay a rectangle, only shorter.I go to a keyframe, select the mc, and enter the desired scale percentage for the height in the transform pane. Then I repeat this for the other 19 keyframes. Imagine the pain and suffering I go through when this is done for several sequences!
Ideally,I would want to use the "edit multiple frame" mode in the timeline, select all instances of the mc across all 20 keyframes, and apply the height transform to all mcs via JSFL or dark magic.Flash's default behavior transforms multiple objects as a group,so not only will it squash and shear the different mc instances(creating diamonds),it will also shrink the distances between the different positions(changing the path of the tweens).I'm looking for a way to apply the transform so that each instance scales to their own registration point,preserving their position and respective of their rotation.

I am creating a chart using mxml. The mxml tags only create a chart with a horizontal axis and vertical axis. My result event handler has actionscript code that loops through the xml result set and creates all the series (line series and stacked bar). This part of the code works fine. Now I need to use the functionfill function to set individual colors to each series. All the examples I have found call the functionfill from within an MXML tag, like so:

I am downloading an external swf file, which contains a library movieclip which I want to go through and extract bitmapdata of each frame. to do this I am using a for loop on this bit of code:
Code:
var tmpBMData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(baseObj.width, baseObj.height);
tmpBMData.draw(baseObj);
Problem is, when I stick that bitmapdata in a new bitmap and put it on the stage, the bit of the mc I am interested in is surrounded by a white square. Not sure if this is something I need to handle in the Flex AS3 or the Flash CS5 used to create the swf.

If I brought in a sunburst vector into Flash cs5 and made it an editable object, and made it a Movie Clip (lets name this movieclip, sun1_mc) and than made another (lets call this one sun2_mc) the only thing that changes in between these objects is the color. How would i acess the advanced feature through Actionscript 3.0 so that when the user clicks on a button (lets call this button button_btn) it transforms the color color smoothly from one frame to another. I know i could do it old stlye and make a shape tween and than put sun1_mc on frame 1 and sun2_mc on say frame 15 and just put a motion tween between them. But i was just wondering if there is a way to do this via Actionscript 3.0?

I've done color transforms elsewhere but I can find an example, and I'm pretty sure they are very straight forward... yet. I keep getting this error:1119: Access of possibly undefined property ColorTransform through a reference with static type flash.geom:Transform.

I have a list component which contains exhibitors who have rented booths in the floorplan layout...when you mouse over the list, the highlighted exhibitors booth(s) should light up...they do...but they do not highlight back when they are moused out...here is the code I am using to do the highlighting...
Code:
var listHandler:Object = new Object();
listHandler.itemRollOver = function(evt_obj:Object)
{
var shp:XMLShape = new XMLShape;
[Code]....
the two trace functions there return the same data...so for example when you mouse onto the first element in the list...it will trace "0" then mouse out of the list to not have any selected...and the hLback function will trace "0"...but the color transform back doesnt happen...why?
test it here (launch "07 WIT" for quickest load time) [URL]

1. Is there a function in AS3 player 9 or 10 to greyscale a Loader.load()ed jpg image? I don't even think it is feasible to manually calculate the greyscale values for each pixel. If there is no such function like photoshop does, then the other option is to have 2 images - one colored and the other greyscale - to switch between each other on mouseover. Am I right, or what else?
2. Why is it that the barbarabarry dot com images doesn't get downloaded into temporary internet files folder? I am using Loader.load to get the images loaded into flash. As a side effect, I noticed that these images gets downloaded into the temporary internet files folder (Internet Explorer). Not that it's bad, but I am curious how barbarabarry images do not get downloaded. I noticed this while trying to confirm whether the grey scale is dynamic or just 2 different images.

With get- and setTextformat I can set the individual color of a section in a TextField. There is a problem with getting and setting a textformat from and to a TLF (set- does give an error message when putting the TextFormat back to the TLF).Now if I have two strings and want them to have different color and size in one TLF what would be a good way to do that. I don't want to programm all TextFormat propertys for every different Text in my application.

I have a movie clip with 4 frames. I programatically create 3instances of it, and send each one to a different frame. If I laterapply a color transform to one of the clips, it plays through allthe frames and goes back to it's correct frame. Why does it dothat, and can I stop it from doing that?

I would like to know why does AS3 colorTransform only transforms the border of a shape [code] Only the border of a shape is transformed.I've tried to redraw on everyframe the object with different fill but it's an overkill in performance, about 10 3d planes were performance killers.I can only think of that because beginFill() does not use a pen set by lineStyle() and that may be causing the problem, however I would really like to know the problem as I need my uber-super-semi3d-spinner to spin while changing colors and not his borders!

My situation: I have a looping animation that contains multiple keyframes, and each keyframe contains a movieclip symbol I want to apply a color transformation to through actionscript.When I apply the color transformation once to the symbol, it works the first time around. But when the animation loops and plays again, the color transformation is gone.If I apply the color transformation at every keyframe each time in code, I can only display a few instances of the animation before the FPS suffers. Is there an efficient way to apply a color transformation once and have it stick?

I have a movieclip where I create a child display object (another MovieClip) in the constructor and show it with addChild();. However, later on in the code I modify the tint of the parent MovieClip using colorTransform. The child object then vanishes. Even if I do a removeChild/addChild after the tinting, it does not show. I don't understand why this is happening.. tint should just modify the color of everything, not hide children, right? See attached code for the way I am showing the child and changing the tint.

I wrote earlier about this InterpolateColor class that I have just written... now I am wondering about why I seem to only be able to use it on one object at a time and not on two objects at the same time.I want to use it to increase the brightness on my background image, while at the same time decrease the brightness on my navigation link text. It works on either one if done alone but when they are done at the same time, only one executes.
My InterpolateColor class:
ActionScript Code:
package com.bee.utils
{
import fl.motion.Color;
[code]....
The code in my controller class:
ActionScript Code:
InterpolateColor.tweenBrightness( background, .8 );
InterpolateColor.tweenBrightness( footer.navControls, -1 );

I'd like to know, how, through actionscript 3, to get an array of ARGB (hexadecimal) colors, that is close to a given color. Example: 0xFF00FF00 A green. How to get variations of green? I'm trying to get some green colors of a bitmapdata. I've tried to get it by making a loop getting the colors using getPixels32. The problem is, I think the bits colors of each position are different from the bits of the bitmap rendered. It's for a pathfinder. Each green bit sets a node in a map, as walkable. So I need to know what are these colors to set it as walkable for the pathfinder.

I got some text that has a background, and the backgroud color can change to any color.
So, I need to find a way to figure if my text will be readable or not, the text should change to black (for example, yellow background) or white ( dark blue background ) if the contrast is not good enough.
So, is there a method to do this?, what would you use to make this work?

I have several movie clips of the main character (one for each primary and secondary direction), each of which contains 7 or so layers, one for each body part, and each layer then has about 6 keyframes, each keyframe containing a different graphic of the body part.All I want to do is create a shadow of the character. Originally, I just duplicated the main character movie clip, changed the _yscale, _rotation, _alpha and applied a color via setRGB(). It sort of worked, but because I was applying the setRGB() to the collective group of graphics having multiple colors, the variances showed up in the shadow, so you could make out the character's features.
