I have a symbol of a shape with a gradient drawn in Illustrator that I copied-and-pasted into Flash CS5. I created a simple motion tween by making the symbol move around the stage and scale. How do I now change the color of the symbol as it is moving on stage?

I am just learning actionscript 3.0 and am hoping someone can help me with a little problem. My code seems correct but only works half the time when I preview it. All I am trying to do is when a button is pressed, the content movie moves down to the right and scales down to 50%. The code works perfectly for the first few times I push the buttons but then starts to move some of the way and stop and I have to press the button at least one more time to get it to complete! Sorry this is so long winded but I don't know how to phrase it!
View 4 RepliesI am working on a project that some one else created. There were very orgainized, but my question is this: There is a starburst shape, and in the property inspector it is labeling as yellow burst, and that's how it shows in the library. But one instance of it is red in the movie, and I can not find it to change or delete as they called everything dynamically. how this was done, or how I might locate this object?
View 3 RepliesI am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.
I'm just wondering if hitTest can be affected by the changing x,y coordinates or the changing scale of the parent clips. My platform engine doesn't seem to work everytime I try to add a script to a parenting clip (of a playable character and a computer character) that changes the x and y values of that clip as well as the scale (simulating a camera that keeps both characters in focus).

View 1 RepliesI'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange. I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything. When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue. Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text? Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
AS3 page with text links that change to a new color on mouse_over and change back on mouse_out. Sometimes the links do not change back and all remain colored after mouse-out. I have never been able to simulate the problem on my several computers at several locations but have seen it happen on the clients computers. Is there a known issue perhaps with Flash/AS3/Flash Player Version# that might cause this?
View 1 RepliesI'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.

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) {

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?

View 1 RepliesI am in the making of a isometric level editor, and I have about 15 movie clips with more to come. I want to let people change the color of tiles to what they want from a list of colors, so how can I let them change the color of a tile dinamicly with actionscript so that it changes a tile's color while preserving changes of "shadows"? I mean I have let's say a cube and to make it look 3D I need to change each face to make a feeling of 3D and not a flat one.

Also this tutorial doesnt say what version of flash and actionscript is best suited for this.Currently i am using CS4 & Action Script 2.0 but i don't know if this is correct. below there is a link to the fla. file that Coloring_Book.fla.

So i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK);
function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{
background.play(); homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.
I am coding a graphical interface using Flex, and I have a qestion related to masks in Flash.I want to create a kind of mask that defines which color and which alpha value a text will have according to its position on the screen. It is very easy to do that with the text being the mask of a bitmap, for instance.
However, I also want to take into account the color of the text itself.for instance, if I create a red text, in some zone it will be red with a modified alpha value, but on another zone, the text will be full white, as if there was a kind of mask which also applies its own color on top of it.
Is there a way to easily do this kind of thing? Of course, I can manually apply the format on the text according to where it is, but I wonder if there is an automatic processing like mask or blend mode using a DisplayObject as a processing pattern.

View 2 RepliesMy buttonMC is build of:
1. shape (a rectangle gray color) converted to MC named = Bar
2. (on top of 1) DynamicText named = buttonText converted to MC named = buttText in order to change the color of the shape I decleard a veriable
cButton = new Color(this.Bar);
I then add actionscript onRollOver
cButton.setRGB(nRed << 16 | nGreen << 8 | nBlue);
but it also changed the color of the text so I added a veriable for the text field
tButton = new Color(this.buttText.buttonText);
tButton.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);but that didnt help
this is bad becuse the text on the screen is unseen.

I am creating a quiz using the quiz template in Flash. I was wondering if it is possible to replace the shape of nextBtn with some other picture/drawing? nextBtn is the button you click on to go to the next question. I tried "Swap symbol" but then I lose all the code attached to the original button (movie).
View 1 RepliesI looked around through pages and pages on google and couldn't find anything somewhat related. I got a lot of help, but I still can't seem to get this part of my ActionScript working. I have a program, that when running, allows me to paint random color squares on mouse click. I added a button, that is supposed to be able to change the shape being painted from rectangle to circle. I can't seem to get that button to work. This is what my code looks like so far.

Imagine you have a chessboard type setup, made of separate squares. Each square is clickable, therefore, it can change colour, something can happen etc.... what I need is to be able to create a new sprite / movieclip / shape, that will appear over the square I have just clicked. If you click the next sqaure, this new movieclip / shape will change colour and cover the two sqaures I just clicked.
To summarise, this new shape is created whenever a square is clicked. The shape gets bigger and covers which ever square is clicked. Think of something like a slime-monster getting bigger and covering the squares which are clicked.
