Color change fla [SOLVED]

[j_rock 0 Likes (Newbie)]

in releation to my last post about changing the color value of a selected movice clip with the transfom manager AS2

 

a button births a mc on2 the stage , when this mc is clicked the transfom manager is applyed

 

can anyone look at this code and tell me where i am going wrong

I cant seem to get the code to work to change the colour value of the last selected movie clip the tranform manager was applied to (var t) to

change from the default black to white when the button is clicked

 

 

 

stop();

 

 

 

import gs.TransformManager;

 

 

 

var NumInc:Number = 0;

var home:MovieClip = this;

var selectedClip:MovieClip

 

function buildIt(movieType:String) {

var t = home.attachMovie(movieType, "movie_mc"+NumInc, getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:232.8, _y:419.1});

var transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({forceSelectionToFront:false, allowDelete:true});

var transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({targetObjects:[t], bounds:{xMin:0, xMax:900, yMin:0, yMax:900}, forceSelectionToFront:true, eventHandler:onAnyEvent});

selectedClip = this["movie_mc"+NumInc]

++NumInc;

}

 

 

 

 

btn1_btn.onPress = function() {

buildIt("movietrib");

};

 

 

 

 

btn2_btn.onPress = function() {

buildIt("movietrib1");

};

 

 

 

color_btn.onPress = function() {

Color.prototype.setTint(255, 255, 255, 100)

//var colorful = new Color();

//colorful.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);

selectedClip.setTransform(colorful);

};

 

Color.prototype.setTint = function (r, g, b, amount) {

var percent = 100 - amount;

var trans = new Object();

trans.ra = trans.ga = trans.ba = percent;

var ratio = amount / 100;

trans.rb = r * ratio;

trans.gb = g * ratio;

trans.bb = b * ratio;

selectedClip.setTransform(trans);

}//

 

 

Can anyone help?

Hi j_rock

 

I think the problem is that you don't use the good tool to transfom the color of a MovieClip

Why did you don't use TweenMax ? It's easier

 

Here is a sample and simple code that show you how to do it

http://www.ynicos.com/examples/colorChange.swf

 

The .fla

http://www.ynicos.com/examples/colorChange.fla

 

 

If you really don't want to use one of the multiple way to change color with TweenMax, use the flash.geom.ColorTransform class,

Adobe : "The Color class has been deprecated in favor of the flash.geom.ColorTransform class".

 

See

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/00000919.html#202260

 

Hope i help you

Everybody are abble to use TweenMax, cause it's really easy

 

If you don't understand how you can use something just ask your question

 

It's simple to manage color with TweenMax, trust me .

Change the tint of a MovieClip like that.

if a have a MovieClip called "myObject" and his color is black, i can tint it to white like this :

 

TweenMax.to(myObject,1,{tint:0xFFFFFF});

 

If you want to remove the tint of a tinted object like "myObject", just do:

 

TweenMax.to(myObject,1,{removeTint:true});

 

it will set the tint at "myObject" to his original : black

 

 

 

 

Say me what you whant to do exacly and simply

again thank you for your time trying to help

Hi j_rock

 

Check this .fla

If you don't understand something, just ask.

 

// When you use getNextHighestDepth(), you have to refer it to an object where the next highest depth will be evaluate

// like this.getNextHighestDepth() or home.getNextHighestDepth()

// getNextHighestDepth() alone will not work i think

 

// When you do

// var transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({forceSelectionToFront:false, allowDelete:true});

// var transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({targetObjects:[t], bounds:{xMin:0, xMax:900, yMin:0, yMax:900}, forceSelectionToFront:true, eventHandler:onAnyEvent});

 

// the next var applied to "transformManager_obj" will overwrite all previous property you set in the first instantiation

// Declar your vars at one in a function like

// var transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({forceSelectionToFront:false, allowDelete:true});

// transformManager_obj = new TransformManager({targetObjects:[t], bounds:{xMin:0, xMax:900, yMin:0, yMax:900}, forceSelectionToFront:true, eventHandler:onAnyEvent});

 

 

Hope it help you

Near var currentSelectedObj....
