Is there a way of finding out the color of a graphic? For example if i have an array of rectangles, each with a different color set using graphics.beginFill(), can I then do something like:
color = rectangleArray[i].getColor();
I need a function that retrieves the average hexadecimal color values of a group of pixels in a square. Like a 4x4 area, and I want to be able to calculate what the average color is by retrieving the color of each pixel.
View 4 RepliesI'm currently making a color picker (pretty standard one, pretty much the same as photoshop with less options at the moment: still in early stage). Here's the picture of the actual thing : [URL] The problem is : to retrieve the color of the pixel that is under the color selector (the small one, the other is the mouse), I have this line that I thought would do it :
_currentColor = Convert.hsbToHex(new HSB(0,
((_colorSelector.x + _colorSelector.width/2)*100)/_largeur,
((_colorSelector.y + _colorSelector.height/2)*100)/_hauteur
));
Just to clarify the code, I simply use the coordinates of the selector in order to create a new HSB Color (saturation is represented on the X axis and brightness (value) on the Y axis of such a color picker). I then convert this HSB Color to Hexadecimal and assign it to a property. The hue is always set to 0 at the moment but this is irrelevant as I only work with pure red to test. It partially does what I wanted, but the returned color values are inversed for most of the corners:

I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.
I have used SO's to save and retrieve simple variables successfully, but I am a problem saving and retreiving array data in the following example: [URL] A user selects several options using radio buttons. All that happens is that the SO should store in memory which buttons the user clicked on. If run through flash with the output window, you can see that when the save button is clicked, the data is saved. But when you load the activity a second time, the array data that was stored in the SO only gets recalled as 'undefined'.

I have a few movie clips that change color when they are rolled over and rolled out of which is great and works correctly but now I have add glows to those buttons to serve as borders or a stroke and when you roll over the buttons the color and the filter color changes.

View 7 RepliesI made a color picker and I was wondering if the color object had any way of grabbing the actual color name?
I know I could put all the colors into an array and call them up as needed... I've done the same thing in C#... and the color object in C# has a color name feature, I was wondering if Flash's color object had the same deal.
I am curious if this is an okay implementation of the Array.filter() method.
[Code]...
I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?
Maybe I'm missing something really obvious but does anyone have a way of getting (not setting!) an object's color? I have no problem setting the color and animating it (with caurina Tweener). Here's an excerpt of what I'd like to do:

import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

As you can see from the trace(_btnColor.color), the following if-statement will not work. What gets returned, looks like a number that gets thrown when something is out of bounds or not the right type. It's weird because you can SET the color like this:
_btnColor.color = 0xCC0000;
but you cannot GET the color the same way. Where's the logic/consistency here? Has anyone an idea of how to get a (hex) color of an object?
i have a shape on stage that i need to randomly change color using as3 i've tried doing this a few ways and have had no success.
View 1 RepliesI've created a colour palette and given each colour a unique number and name (E.g. V123 Plum, V456 Ruby). Also the colour names is being loaded from a mysql database.
When the name of the colour is loaded in to a dynamic box , I want to fill an object in that colour.
var mycol1 = V123 Plum;V123 Plum = "0xFF6600"colorchange.setRGB(mycol1);
var mycol2 = V456 Ruby;
V123 Plum = "0xFFCC00"colorchange.setRGB(mycol2);
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?
View 1 Replies i've been using a MovieClip prototype to create and set a color object, like this:
MovieClip.prototype.setRGB=function(hex){
(new Color(this)).setRGB(hex); //creates color object + sets color
}
which makes it easy to change a MC's color like this:
MC.setRGB(0x00ff00);
now i'm working in AS 2.0, which seems to discourage using prototyping and extending the MC class methods--so my question is, what is the best approach for doing this in AS 2? i've created a new class to handle it, but it seems clunky to have to call an instance rather than having a MC call an internal method...the bottom line, is: is it ok to extend the MovieClip class in AS2, and if not, what's the cleanest approach?
i have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?

View 14 RepliesWhy is it that I can never change a vector object's color? I mean I would think it'd be as simple as changing the fill color but that does nothing.
And why is it that copying and pasting vector objects from illustrator very inconsistent? Sometimes I get the exact copy, and other times their's three anchor points missing, very much screwing up the look of the object. Also, when I import a vector png image made in photoshop to flash, the fill is hollow at times.

View 1 RepliesI know that you can change changeobject's color with AS3 is using colorTransform. However if I do this, then I can't really use filters. For example, if I apply DropShadowFilter on an object which color is changed with colorTransform, then the color of a shadow is the same as object's color. So I tried to use ColorMatrixFilter to change object's color. And it works with colors like FF0000, but it doesn't with colors like FFFFFF. IS there a way to change objects color to white using ColorMatrixFilter? I use the following methods:[code]
