ActionScript 3.0 :: Shift Color(s) Of All Nested Objects
Apr 28, 2011
Say I have a video tutorial. This tutorial is one MovieClip we'll call oneMC (with text, movieclips, and sprites within it).I have a color picker that allows the viewer to change the background color.Any ideas on how to shift the color(s) of all the nested objects once this happens? I need everything to contrast with the background color. (hence black text wouldn't disappear on a black background).Changing the blend mode of oneMC to Invert. This works except ALL nested clips then have the same color. No good.I changed the .color attribute of oneMC to a tint of the background color's opposite (for anyone curious as to how you get it, subtract the user's selected hexadecimal color from 0xFFFFFF). This is ok, but not ideal. Colors appear washed out.Changing the hue. This works on everything but black objects/text.I don't want to resort to colorTransforming each individual child because the EnterFrame requisite is too cumbersome. I really need an elegant solution to keep processes down.

i'm doing a school project of mine and i am having trouble doing the changing color objects. here is an axample of the script that i;m using:
on (rollOver) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(0x003366);
}
For this script it does change color, but how do i make it to stay the same color that user selected after going to another scene?

I'm a long-time Flash animator who is somewhat new to AS3. I have created a set of buttons to control the actions and the color of a movieclip on the main timeline. I gave all buttons and movie clips instance names for proper control via Actionscript.I can control the start and stop of my movie clip (which contains animation) and I can change the alpha of the entire movie clip. However, what I really want to change is another movie clip which is nested within the main MC. When I try to apply a color change to the nested clip instance, that instance changes color but freezes in place, while the other elements of the clip keep moving. It will behave this same way if I try changing the alpha, rotation, anything of the nested clip.The nested clip is a separate movie clip symbol and a separately named instance from anything else in the movie, so there should be no conflict there.[code]

if you have object inside of object inside of object ... etcwhen you want to completely remove it is it enough to just say:removeChild(topObject);or you need to go inside and start cleaning from there?

So I am trying to populate a user state from XML in such a way that a new user will start with a set of default variables.
An example default state might be:
Code:
state={obj2:{foo:"bar"}};
This would then be changeable by the user so his foo could later be "bar2" and that would be saved to a database.
Now, let's say I want to add a new node to the xml, so the default would be:
Code:
default ={obj2:{foo:"bar", foo2:{foo:"bar"}}};
An earlier user would have no foo2, so an attempt to use state.obj2.foo2.foo on a text field would generate an error.
What I'd like to be able to do is see if state has a value and if not, fill the user's data with the matching node in the default (in pseudocode):
Code:
if (some function (state.obj2.foo2.foo ) is not there) {
// fill with default
state.obj2.foo2=default.obj2.foo2
}

I am creating series of rectangles dynamically and placing them into a grid pattern under a function called createGrid(). I am than creating another single larger rectangle in a function called drawTimelinecontainer. I than want to place all the objects that were created in the createGrid() function into the object that was created in the drawTimelineContainer function. It seems I get an undefined property error when I add it to the display list like this timeLineContainer.addChild(timeLineCell). Is there a way to do this and have the creation of both objects done in separate functions?

Any accurate description of the relationship between the Display Object hierarchy and nested movie clips? I have a movie clip, that has a few movie clips and text fields inside of it. I need access to those MCs and text fields. So, I start off with stage.addChild(container_mc). (These are just examples, by the way). Then I do
container_mc.addChild(movieOne_mc),
container_mc.addChild(movieTwo_mc), and
container_mc.addChild(textOne_txt).
I've made sure to import the necessary classes and declare my variables accordingly. Now I need to access the stuff inside the container. Let's say I need to change what the text box says. So I try
container_mc.textOne_txt.text = "Hello, world!";
That throws an error, so I try
parent.container_mc.textOne_txt.text = "Hello, world!";
That throws an error, too. So I try
MovieClip(parent).container_mc.textOne_txt.text = "Hello, world!";
That throws an error... Finally, I try
MovieClip(parent.container_mc).textOne_txt.text = "Hello, world!";
And then I give up and come here.
I've had this work before, but only by referencing the name of the movie clips in question.
Ex: MovieClip(parent.getChildByName(currentVideo.toStr ing())).gotoAndStop(2);
Is that the only way to access nested movie clips? I don't mind giving every single object a name if I have to, I'm just failing to understand if this is the right way to do things or not. And I foresee issues in the future with objects that aren't movie clips, or with dynamically generated objects.

I have a Flex tree with an ArrayCollection as data provider. The collection holds an array of CategoryVO objects. Each object can have another array of CategoryVO objects inside it's "child" attribute. This way the tree displays the data correctly. Now I want to get the parent of a specific item, e.g. tree.selectedItem. Using XML as data provider the item parent is avaiable thorugh the parent() method. But I can't convert my data to XML. How can I get an item's parent? Perphaps using the tree's dataDescriptor?

i am creating an object like this:
var myObj:Object = new Object();
myObj["someProperty"] = {
anotherProperty: "someValue",
whateverProperty: "anotherValue"
}
now i want to send it to a web server (rails):
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
service.url = "http://server.com/some/path/entry.json";
service.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
service.send( myObj );
the problem is that the server receives the json like this:
{"someProperty"=>"[object Object]"}
is this a problem with HTTPService? should i use the good old loader/urlrequest and serialize myself? by the way, serializing and then passing the string doesn't work, webserver receives empty request as GET.but i kinda want to use the httpservice class though...

I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol);
trace(i);
}

i've got a function (a 'for' loop) that creates 20 movie clips on the fly. in each movie clip i dynamically draw an object with the api tool and all these objects follow a path.
what i want is that when the mouse is in the frame of the piece, i want the colors to change. i'm not sure if i can even do that. i've attached the .as file.

I've got a world map with an instance name of map_mc. Inside map_mc, every country is a movieclip object. So for example, the United States is a movieclip. I'm using the GreenSock tint plugin (TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]) to color transition the countries from white to red.
Here's my goal:
I want to randomly color transition (using Tint) every country from white to red over 20 seconds.
Here's my issue:
Is there a way to do this without having to give each movieclip an instance name, creating an array and randomizing the array. Is there a simple loop I could create that color transitions every movieclip object inside map_mc?

Is there a way you can change a text objects color with AS? For example Giving the text object the instant name: my text. Then changing the color of that instant name??? The way I have been doing this in the past is by making the text object a movie clip and just making a second key frame with the second color. However this means I now have a lot of movie clips floating around.

I am trying to make a class that will allow me to manipulate the color of a series of objects and I�ve gotten this far with ColorMod.as which does this manually. I would like to be able to somehow generate a series of ColorTransform objects such that I can manipulate their parameters (particularly redOffset, greenOffset and blueOffset) while I am generating them, and then push them into an array that can be accessed by another class. I can do this manually as per the code below, but I would like to be able to do it using a for loop as per the pseudocode I put in the constructor below.

trying to color objects that are flying around in my space game.When I shoot and hit them - the affected enemies shall blink. The graphics are pre-rendered (i.e. there's an rotation array and function where the degrees and their appropriate rotation for the objects are stored / calculated for better performance).
So - my idea was to enhance that rotation function with a functionality for additional coloring; but the colored AND rotated objects shall be stored apart of the normal rotated objects. To accomplish this I made a nested array:in row one there are 360 rotated graphics of one object and in row two there are 360 graphics of a rotated and colored object.
Problem: Coloring works but they are not rotated (always at 0 degrees).
Code:
public function createRotationWithColorBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0):Array
{
trace("sourceBitmapData.width=" + sourceBitmapData.width);

I'm trying to merge two display objects into a single new BitmapData object, when it uses the color from one and the alpha channel from the other. The concept seems straight forward enough but I'm getting lost in the BitmapData APIs. I've been trying to use the Alpha blendmode with draw() but that doesn't seem to work.

ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.ColorPicker;
import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
[code]....
I was going to use this code and modify it to work with the previous code.
ActionScript Code:
var OBJECTcolorInfo:ColorTransform = OBJECT.transform.colorTransform;
cpOBJECT.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, colorChange);
[code]....
A quick note, the OBJECT is there to show it's supposed to refer back to the "["bg"+String(i)]" bit is. I just don't know how to tell the code to look for it.My main goal is to have an object, for instance a rectangle, be draggable (and placeable). You would then set a series of color pickers to said rectangle, changing areas of it's colors once you double click it.However, the rectangle must move as a whole and not have to have each individual color part be repositioned along with it.

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.

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?
