I got some text that has a background, and the backgroud color can change to any color.
So, I need to find a way to figure if my text will be readable or not, the text should change to black (for example, yellow background) or white ( dark blue background ) if the contrast is not good enough.
So, is there a method to do this?, what would you use to make this work?
This is my drawing code that I have now, and I wanna be able to use the color picker palette to chosse between color red, green and blue.

What is the best way to determine the percent value of a color between two given values. In other words, what is the best way to calculate the % position of color C?
Color A - 0x0000FF
Color B - 0x00CCFF
Color C - 0x00FFFF
I'm starting flash and already familiar with some of the basics (movie clips, coloring them, adding them on stage, events).And while I read a book to follow, and see tutorials here and there, I kinda follow the "learn as you go" approach.I think the most challenging part here is the scroller to choose colors. I already tried to look for online tutorials but I guess my google terms were simply weak and inaccurate.

View 1 RepliesUsers can write a text, modify it (in type, color and size) and choose a picture (which is loaded through a XML-file) for an e-card, then send it to whomever they want. But when they have made the modifications, how do I save the card, and then store it in a database?
View 3 RepliesI'd like to know, how, through actionscript 3, to get an array of ARGB (hexadecimal) colors, that is close to a given color. Example: 0xFF00FF00 A green. How to get variations of green? I'm trying to get some green colors of a bitmapdata. I've tried to get it by making a loop getting the colors using getPixels32. The problem is, I think the bits colors of each position are different from the bits of the bitmap rendered. It's for a pathfinder. Each green bit sets a node in a map, as walkable. So I need to know what are these colors to set it as walkable for the pathfinder.
View 1 RepliesI have a project where I've been asked to allow a user to choose between multple color themes of a character. This object is complex in that it has multiple colors and that each color needs to change differently based on the theme's color scheme.
Is there a way to take a movieclip with multiple colors and apply process to it that will detect different colors and transform them accordingly without taking each individual color, making a movie clip from it, then modifying the movieclip's colors? Each character has a pretty limited color pallette, so this process would only have to find and then change maybe 3 or 4 colors. But the character in question is hand animated and has a LOT of frames, so I'm hoping there's a chance that I can handle this programmatically rather than doing it all by hand with a few hundred extra movieclips to make color changes to.
I want to be able to choose three differents colors from a color picker. I want to choose between red, green and blue. How can I change my code below to do this? Should I have my color picker in its own class?

View 2 RepliesI have several movie clips of the main character (one for each primary and secondary direction), each of which contains 7 or so layers, one for each body part, and each layer then has about 6 keyframes, each keyframe containing a different graphic of the body part.All I want to do is create a shadow of the character. Originally, I just duplicated the main character movie clip, changed the _yscale, _rotation, _alpha and applied a color via setRGB(). It sort of worked, but because I was applying the setRGB() to the collective group of graphics having multiple colors, the variances showed up in the shadow, so you could make out the character's features.
View 2 RepliesI wrote a class that converts possible color formats (that I can think of) into valid hex colors appended to a pound sign (#). So what it basically does is check and convert a color in any of the following formats
uint
String("colorname")
String("nnnn...")[code].......
into String("#nnnnnn") regardless of empty spaces.Color names are the current standard 147 CSS color names, as listed in here.This class can be used by its single static method to 'normalize' colors in an html if an appropriate replace pattern is used. The method works for a single color. This, in fact, might be used while parsing an html data into a text field in flash, for example. Additionally you can input an optional second 'default color' parameter in the method.
I am using Flash Professional 8 and Dreamweaver 8 to maintain a website. I have just started using flash to show video highlights from high school football games which I record. Using iMovie I export the video as quicktime file and then import to flash to convert to a flash video file to post on the web site. The video coming out of iMovie has very good contrast and the quicktime movie has the same good contrast. When looking at the file in Flash the contrast changes dramatically. I becomes washed out. I am using Max OX 10.6 operating system.
View 2 RepliesI'm try to lower the contrast of a movieClip, but it seems to have no effect. contrast, saturation, brightness do nothing.
My Code:
var bobRun:MovieClip = new bobRunning(); addChild(bobRun); bobRun.scaleX = .45; bobRun.scaleY = .45; bobRun.x = 350; bobRun.y = 30; bobRun.contrast = -100;bobRun.saturation = -100;bobRun.brightness = -100;
I currently have a photo gallery where the images have a basic fade when switching photos.But I came across this site and their gallery, and noticed it's not just a simple fade... but looks like a high contrast fade, or something else. Does anyone know if this is able to be done with flash and actionscript 3.0? Or are there other components, programs, applications involved?

View 2 RepliesI work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?

View 1 Replieshave been browsing through internet and alot of forums to find THE best way to open a new popup window from Flash, only to discover that most dont even work!
The only requirements that i have with the script is that the movie can be published in version 8 AND is crossbrowser.
Alot of other popup window scripts either work only when published with lfash 5 OR only works for Firefox.
I have seen the other example files and popup generators but they dont work perfectly.

View 1 RepliesI have recently been using Charles the debugging app. And noticed a very chatty app named skyrocket (a very very cool slide presentation app) sending a lot of data across the wire. It is built in flex by the looks and I was wondering why they had chosen to send their data using base64 and not amf. Is it because they don't want to be locked into the flash platform? Or could there be another reason. Is it to store it as XML in the database as they don't want to be dealing with amf when handing data to other services/clients (iPhone etc).

I've got an xml file that contains some data (which will be created by an external file later on in the project) and i want to be able to check the data in that XML file against a variable stored in flash.
If the value in the XML is equal to or greater than the value in the variable i want to jump to a different frame. If the xml value is less that the variable value i want it to stop and tell the user a message. i've included my code below. I just cant get it to work. Regardless of if the value in the XML file is higer or lower than the variable in flash, it always continues to the final frame instead of stopping accordingly.

//Load xml file that contains amount of cash user has and populate cash_txt box with amount
function loadXML(loaded) {

I'd like to know if there's anyway I can compare two BitmapData and get a "similarity percentage" (knowing how look-alike they are). I've done a bit of research and came across bitmapData.compare(otherBmd), but that only returns if they differ in size, or pixel, and not how much they differ. The point of this was to compare some Bmd obtained through a camera with a library image (so this is what I got so far):
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var img1:BitmapData = new monaLisa();
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var video:Video = new Video(camMock.width,camMock.height);
video.attachCamera(cam);
