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);
}
This piece of code gives me an error because i have an equation on the left side of the equal sign, logically it makes sense, but flash doesn't like the code how would i do some thing like this?[code]
Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com { public class CreateList extends MovieClip { //this is the object I will be recycling private var newProperty:PropertyRow; //this is the array I will use to reference the objects
I'm currently working on a little practice .fla file I've been working on. What I have now is an altered version a 'game' I made recently. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a new instance and color by having the user drag the object into the black (target) area. In short I want the user to drag one of my shapes (movieclips) and while keeping the original shape in place, move the copy version into the target and have the copy change to a different random color. Attached is a copy of my file.
Here is code I have thus far, I have tried a few options but they seem to throw off my application.
var counter:Number = 0; square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveObject); square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,releas eObject); circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,move Object);
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 have to do this drawing application, and I want to integrate almost as much colors as Flash has, in it's standard swatch picking thingy, i.e 18x12 = 216 swatches. In other words, A LOT of them The only idea I've come up with is creating an array of colors, but...this requires me to note down 216 different hexa codes and then writing them into an array. I may be lazy, but this sounds really tedious and annoying, really.
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.
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 trying to figure out the AS3 equivalent of this AS2 code. In this example there would be 10 movie clips on the stage with instances of "mp0", "mp1" etc... The actual project has hundreds of movie clips.
PHP Code: for (i=0;i<10;i++){ var sectorColor:Color = new Color(_root["mp"+i]);
I am currently working on a map of the US that is interactive. My goal is to be able to mouse over the states and have them turn red and then a window with contact information will open at your mouse when clicked. I am running into a few problems. I dont know the process for creating a color tween for my movieclips. my solution was to make a copy of the states, color them red and place them behind the gray ones and attatch an event listener to all the states that lowers their alpha when moused over. thats not really the problem though. for my code that i have used to call in the window is as follows. I will use texas as an example.
I have an image with seven distinct colors. I would like for each color to be linked to a separate html page if clicked. Can flash link to a page based on the color of the area clicked?
I'm creating a new Color object in CS5. Essentially I'm using a component slider and linking the value to 360 hue and converting that value to color hex to pass into a color object which will be assigned to an object (in this text case a standard square movieclip). However, when compiling I keep getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type Number.
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.
I'm looking for a way to smoothly cycle through the color spectrum in an infinite loop, but I can't find any topics on the subject and don't really know where to start. I'd also like to be able to control how fast it cycles. I'm guessing I'd probably want to look into Tweener?
I am trying to create functions using a for loop for my buttons' over and out listeners.I would like to stick to a naming convention but it does not seem to work. I am trying to create 10 buttons with function names like btnOver1, btnOver2, etc...
Code: for(var i:int=0;i<=9;i++){ function btnOver[i](e:MouseEvent):void{
I'm creating a photo gallery from xml with a changing background color and description which i've gotten to work fine, however, the border that goes around my image and the image itself are supposed to be centered on stage and they aren't even though i set their x and y to the center of the stage the line after
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 am trying to create a library of transition effects. Each transition type or preset is its own class. In the Client/Main class I would like to create the transition type I need based off a static constant, hoping to save myself from having to write a long switch statement to select which type of transition class to instantiate.[code]I am not using the getDefinitionByName utility correctly, what am I missing here? Is there a different way to achieve class instantiation by passing in the name of the class as a string.
this is a wierd problem I am facing in flash I need to create a dynamic global variable where the variable's name is stored in another variable. say I need to create a global variable , _global.fam , but "fam" is stored in a variable temp="fam";
now how can I declare the global variable 'fam' using the variable temp.
But the loophole here is that after creating the global variable I should be able to access the variable as
