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 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?
I LOVE this actionscript, it will be so useful to me. [URL] However I one question; Is there anyway to have a pattern(image) show with the mouse over rather than a color?
View 1 RepliesI have my first color from some code I found, so I did a screencap & sampled it in PhotoShop to get the hex color for the color chip that changes my grayscale bitmap to that color on rollover.
Code:
myColorTransform.ra = 50;
myColorTransform.rb = 244;
myColorTransform.ga = 40;
myColorTransform.gb = 112;

hex is about #f9c480 and I'm cool with my first accidental color. But how do I get more colors. How to start with a hex color and figure out what to put for rb, ga, ba, etc?
I'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.

I 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.
In this tutorial : [URL]...it is said about something for color effect in properties pane. I can see the property pane but I can't find Color Effect. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5. P.S.- This was my first Flash Tutorial (and that's really first one.)
View 2 Repliesgrab colors using the 'draw' function of a BitmapData object. But these are somewhat limiting, I'm trying to implement an eyedropper-type utility and need to be able to know what color the user is seeing at a certain pixel.
I've tried using draw() on the stage, but that doesn't include anything that's a child of the stage. Next, it occurred to me that I could just look at the children of the stage to find the foremost one that's under the mouse, and draw() that, but then we suddenly get into a possibly time consuming recursive search. The simplest/fastest/best way to find what color is being displayed under the mouse in Actionscript 3.
In another scripting language I have used for other purposes (AutoIt Script) there was a function called pixelSearch where you could find pixel locations based on a color. What I would like to do is develop a SWF that "reads" the colors of an image and applies a sparkle effect to the areas that are deemed bright enough (close enough to #ffffff). Ultimately, it would be really cool if I could make it figure out how large the bright area was to make a larger sparkle effect (increase size of sparkle MC) or that if it was too bright, it would assume it was background and not use the effect in that location.
This effect would be used to load various thumbnails from a database and render them in the browser, each with the same SWF but different image parameters, to make the images sparkle appropriately.
I have a list of 98 countries. I have a world map that I have animated by storing all the movieClip names in an array. Below the world map I have the country names listed out in a few text boxes. I know I can turn these names into movieClips and then change their color that way. But I was wondering if there was a way for ActionScript 3 to "read" my paragraph and find the text name then change its color?

var imageMap:ImageSnapshot= ImageSnapshot.captureImage(object);
var pixelValue:uint = imageMap.bitmapData.getPixel(x, y);
I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?

I want to make:
- a flash header with a cityscape moving from left to right behind a transparent logo
- the header will be included in a html-template with a width of 100%
- theh content of the website will be center-aligned (950px wide)
How do I make sure that:
- the cityscape moves over the full width of the screen, regardless of the size of the screen?
- the logo remains correctly positioned?

What I am trying to do is to have the button color change to a different color when it is on the page. The color only changes when I roll over it or hit it. Once I am on the page it changes back to the color it is on the up state.

I imported a .psd file that I created with Photoshop CS4 into Flash CS4 and the colors did not transfer over correctly. The colors (specifically the green text coloring) is a lot lighter/paler than they were in photoshop. How do I import a .psd over to Flash without the colors I used in Photoshop. Attached are a .jpeg image of what the photoshop file looks like and the resulting .SWF file after importing the .psd file.
