ActionScript 3.0 :: Manipulate Saturation / Make Movieclip Grayscale?
Aug 20, 2009
in the filters panel, there is an "adjust color" option.. and inside of it, there is an option there for "saturation".. setting it to the lowest (-100) will turn the movieclip / whatever object you're applying the filter to, to grayscale..i was wondering, how would i go about this using code?
for example, if there was a movieclip on stage called "thePic" and i wanted to decrease its saturation slowly every enterframe until it finally becomes grayscale, how would i go about it?i know how to manipulate the other filters like GlowFilter and BlurFilter through code, but it seems like there is no "AdjustColorFilter".. there is a ColorMatrixFilter, but i dont event understand how it works..

I have a movieclip (instance name preload), inside of it, I have another movieclip (bar) ... what i'm trying to do is a preloader for external files... i have a custom class and i what to manipulate my movieclip preload from it... you know verify the progress of the load:
Inside my class a have this function
public function loadProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void { percent=e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal*100; rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX=percent;
}
rutaDos is a reference to the stage... it works, I'm sure of it... the problem is:rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX; I upload the files but it doesn't verify the progress of the load.

I have searched the archives here, but cant get a clean answer on this.I am loading an external SWF sucessfully, but I need to manipulate a MovieClip instance within that external SWF from the main file.
Code:
// SLIDE 1 IMAGE LOADING
var slide1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var image1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("slides/1.swf");
slide1Loader.load(image1);
slide1.slideImage.addChild(slide1Loader);
That is the successful code to bring it in - but now I need to be able to use a movieclip within it called COPYMC

We are working on a pretty robust "shirt design" application that allows users to create custom t-shirt designs, create vector output automatically and send the files to a printer.
Inside of the application, you can select high resolution artwork in PNG format and add that to your shirt design. We would like to add the functionality to :
1) Change the Hue and Saturation of the PNG in question (probably using the ColorMatrixFilter class, or something along those lines). 2) Be able to change the hue of different parts of the PNG... (I know , this is probably tricky).
For example, if you have a PNG of a Red Convertible with black tires, how would we even go about changing the color of the convertible and the tires seperately?

i just recently started programming in flash and so far I have learned a lot, but new questions keep coming up
My problem is that I want to load an external swf in an empty movieclip and then manipulate this loaded swf from my main movie. For example tell it to go to a certain frame. Is such a thing possible?

John Ulliman uses actionScript3 with Flash CS3 and I have Flash CS5 which is the main difference. It appears he uses a classic tween (from CS4 and CS5's perspective).I have a thumbnail which is created as a movie symbol and when I double click on the timeline I have a tween of zero saturation (frame 1) to 100% saturation (frame 10) back to zero saturation frame 20. When I scrub the timeline the classic tween fades up and down correctly. But when I trigger the rollover (and rollout) event from the main timeline which should goto the movie instance called mThumb0.gotoAndPlay(2) starting at frame 2 for ROLL_OVER and Thumb0.gotoAndPlay(11) for the ROLL_OUT event it seems to only change the saturation a little but not touch the saturation filter.
I don't know if there is something about the different tweens (Classic and Motion) that I need to know. I don't know what the sync checkmark does but I tried it on and off with no help. I put trace statements that indicate the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are being triggered and the functions the events trigger are being called correctly but I don't know how to debug what is happening with the timeline after the mThumb0.gotoAndPlay occurs.

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.

I would like to make a mask that both converts any colors to grayscale and then reduces their alpha value. The intended purpose is for the masked region to be in grayscale and lighter so that the unmasked region is more prominent. Most tutorials I've seen for alpha value masks are far too complicated and use the Flash GUI. How do you accomplish the same thing in ActionScript?
If the following is my image:
Then a traditional mask over some selection would produce the following:Instead, those parts that are masked out completely, I would like for those to be converted to grayscale:And their alpha value decreased, so they're lightened:

I'm dying here. I'm making an interactive image that's grayscale. Whenever the _parent MC is clicked, the different elements of the image randomly shift in grayscale.I have patchworked a thing together that works, but the code is so clunky that it basically kills the machine. I've tried several different color methods with varying success (can't even get colorTransform to work). how to build a function or something else that can basically shift the color to a randomly generated "target" value over n number of frames?
Code snippet:
Code:
imageHolder.onRelease = function() {
grass_color = new Color(imageHolder.grass);
oldColor = grass_color.getTransform();
//gets previous color value
[code]....
One of my big issues has been trying to create a function that can be applied to several different objects, or generate the objects for each mc. There are 5 color objects that color shift. This has been driving me nuts for days.

I've written a function that makes all white pixels in an image transparent. This works OK, but the resulting image looks jagged because it only replaces pixels that are solid white. What I'd really like to do is set the alpha value for each pixel proportional to the amount of white in that pixel, then set the RGB value to #000000. I think this would produce a very smooth semi-transparent image. However, I'm not very good at bitwise operations. Can any of you lend a hand?
As an added bonus I'd like to overlay the resulting bitmap on top of another image. I know this is possible via other means, but it would be nice to do it all in one function for performance reasons and simplicity.

I am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.

I'm using AS 3.0, and I'm trying to change the frames inside a specific object's timeline.The change will be triggered by keyboard events, but I don't know whether to add the eventlistener to the stage or to this. Also, it doesn't seem to be responding to anytime I use a gotoAndStart() or gotoAndStop() it just ignores it completely. Is it calling the stage's timeline when I call this? It also doesn't help when i add this.gotoAndStart() or this.gotoAndStop(), so how do you change the frames outside of the main timeline?

I'm working on an application where I'm drawing some rectangles on the screen, and then will need to manipulate the shapes (change their size, location). I tried to do something with .drawRect and clearing the shape each time I was manipulating it, but the RAM usage was spiking and then falling (presumeably because i keep reinitializing a new component and then removing it, and garbage collection was cleaning it out). This seems like its probably not the most efficient way to do it.
Is there a way for me to just create a shape once, and then move it around on a canvas (and change its width and height without all this RAM usage?

I have a flash map of the UK which is divided up into the counties, a user clicks on a county and is then directed to a new url, eg. [url].... The flash map remains on that new page in case they wish to select a new region.
What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the [url]...then london remains highlighted on the flash map. I presume I will have to use some AS which is fine as long as it is AS3.

I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.
I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:
package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.

What are the inbuilt functions available in flex,actionscript that I can use to find a node with a specific name inside xml variable and what functions could help me manipulate it? Something like Xquery in SQL! I dont want to use for loop everytime I want to manipulate a xml variable. For example, if I want to "cut" node inside this xml and add another attribute to it named enabled pro grammatically. Or how could I find "Find Next" node and delete it?
<menuitem label="Edit">
<m label="Cut"/>
<m label="Copy"/>
<m label="Paste"/>

I am trying to create an interactive flash that users will be able to manipulate certain events in the game. I was was wondering if it was possible to1. Make objects appear or disappear in a frame if a variable is set to a particular number.n example being a window, if you click on it, it opens and closes if clicked on again. If you open the window and go to a different frame, is there a way to make it be open when you go back? 2. Determine the next frame. An example being a door, if the variable is 1 then the door would open when clicked, to the next frame. If it is 0 then it would tell you you need a key or such.I wrapped my head around creating variables and manipulating variables using basic functions.The only thing I am having problems with is if there is an "if"chieve these two tasks.Edit: Figured out number 2:'blueButton' is the variable, when pressed it changes its stored number by two. I linked it to another button which this code is attached to...
PHP Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.blueButton == 2) {
[code].....
