Changing MovieClip Colors

I have a simple mc of a rectangle in a library with linkage
that I bring to the stage with an attachMovieClip. I want to change
the fill color of the rectangle. All the examples I have seen look
like you have to draw an object line by line with a beginfill
before the first line and an endfill when your done. Isn't there an
easier way?

I did the setRbg and it worked, but it killed the bevel on
it. No problem, I just broke the mc into two separate mcs and used
a knockout on the bevel, so I didn't have to mess with the bevel
filter programatically. thanks kglad.

Change movieClip color or size based on player score

Hello Everyone,
My students and I worked throught a nice tutorial on a basic pong game that keeps score (http://as3gametuts.com/2011/03/19/pong-1/). But now we are trying to figure out how to modify a movieclip's color and/or size based on the score. This idea was suggested by one of my students, the tutorial does not provide instructions for the color and/or size change so I figured I'd ask for help here.
The symbol we want to change is named "paddle" with the instance name of "playerPaddle" and we want to change it based on the value of a var named "playerScore".
Thanks for your help and have a great day,
Todd

Ned,
Thanks for the reply.
I want to reduce the playerPaddle by 20% when the playerScore reaches 5.
also
I want to change the playerPaddle color to red when the playerScore reaches 2.
Thanks again for your help,
Todd

How to change the color of same coloured sections of an image according to the colorpicker..?

Hi.. How r u all..?
I'm doing a small program to change the color of those sections of an image which are having the same color, according to the color selected from the colorpicker..
Say we have selected a color from the colorpicker, and then the mouseclick event on the image changes the color of those parts in the image which are having the same color as the clicked portion (or pixel) to the selected color.. If we've selected FF0000 from the colorpicker, then clicked on 3300CC coloured pixel in the image. This should change the color of all the 3300CC coloured pixels in the image..
I've a colorpicker [colpickr] and a movieclip [mc] of the image on the stage. I created a bitmap of that same same image (imag1) using code. Selecting the color from the colorpicker and a mouse click on the movieclip (here I used getPixel) will change that color in the bitmap to the selected color (with setPixel). So here I've two images; one is a movieclip (inorder to add listener for click event) and one is a bitmap (inorder to set the property setPixel). But I need only a single image.
Please help me regarding this.. Given below is my (horrible) code..
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
var c = 0;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData;
var bm:Bitmap;
colpickr.selectedColor = 0xffffff;
var preLoader;
var urlReq;
var preloader_img:MovieClip;
preLoader =new Loader();
preLoader.unloadAndStop();
urlReq = new URLRequest("imag1.jpg"); // i've selected the same image as that of movieclip mc
preLoader.load(urlReq);
preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,preLoaderComplete);
//creates a bitmap image of mc..
function preLoaderComplete(loadEvent:Event) {
 myBitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
 myBitmapData.draw(mc);
 bm = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
 addChild(bm);
 bm.width = mc.width;
 bm.height = mc.height;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _onMouseClick);
//gets the color of mc and sets the color to bitmap
function _onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
 var myColor:uint = myBitmapData.getPixel(mc.mouseX,mc.mouseY);
 c = myColor.toString(16);
 for (var i=0; i<bm.width; i++) {
 for (var j=0; j<bm.height; j++) {
 if (myBitmapData.getPixel(i,j).toString(16) == c) {
 myBitmapData.setPixel(i,j,colpickr.selectedColor);

try this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;

Movieclip color transform

Hello,
I am building a Smile Face application.
Where you choose a menu item and an object or "movieclip" is
placed on the stage. You can drag and drop the object, take it to
the trash and change the color on any of the objects on the stage
at any time.
I have 2 problems that I am looking for guidance on.
1. The code I use to change the color of the object is bulky.
As it is, depending upon the amount of objects you have in
the menu,
the code could grow to a painful amount making it difficult
to manage.
I am looking for a way to better my existing code, by
upgrading it to a more advanced method.
I have attached my code here.
If anyone could help steer me in the right direction, I would
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matthew

Thanks for the answer Rob.
It works perfect.
I apologize for my last tread not making much sense.
I have one question, that I would like to find the answer to.
Is there anyway to create this function.
for (j in partsList) {
partsList[j].onPress = choosePart;
Without it being an onPress, onRelease, onRollOver or
onRollOut function?
I ask, because I am incorporating
the "GreenSock transform manager"
which is already using the onPress and onRelease function for
the partsList.

Hope that makes sense,
Thanks.

Can I change the color of an image to a specific color code?

Since I was unable to do this in Photoshop, I was wondering if there was a way in Flash to simply change the color of an image to a speciifc color code. The image is more or less a simple line with rounded corners. It is only composed of 1 color. Does anyone know if it can be done with Flash?

Shouldn't be a problem to do it in Photoshop or Flash. Since you couldn't do it in PS, I'm guessing that there is more to it than you are making obvious here.
But in Flash you would import it, make it into a movieclip or graphic. Then apply a tint from the color effect portion of the properties panel.

My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

Hi
I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File
size is 16 MB, there are just 10 pivot tables with some calculations and some calculated fields. There are no add-ins other than PowerPivot.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you receive any error message?
Which Excel version are you using? Excel 2013 or other?
Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
Are you performing any specific task?
According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Thirdly, if the issue still exists, we may try to collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do advanced troubleshooting.

Change the color of the outer line of a shape

Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
Please help
I'm using Photoshop CS3
thank you
Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.

Hi,
With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.
regards,
steve

Unable to change text color (from Black)

For the next person who blunders into this and searches for an answer...
If you have a Condition Code whose decoration is a custom color, and you delete the color, the text goes to Black, and you cannot change the color of text bearing that CC - with local color override, or a Character Format that applies a color (I didn't try Paragraph format).
I am copying formatted content in from an older document that doesn't conform to current templates. I had deleted unused colors in the source, but not unused Condition Codes, one of which rode in with some text. What was controlled by the CC in the old doc is now controlled by a color Character format, except that when applied, the text stayed stubornly black (until I nuked the CC).

Dear FrameMaker 7.1/Unix user,
This does not surprise me. As long as the condition is applied and "Show Condition Formats" is active FrameMaker will show the Condition Color (now: Black) and not any underlying text colors.

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

Every time I try to replace text on a brochure template, the colors inexplicably change- and when I try and change the color, it doesn't let me- help, very frustrated:) Please respond in laymen's terms:P

Hello Everyone,
I am working with the Green Grocery Newsletter Template, and I am trying to substitute the text. As an example of my issue, when I highlight the title text and start typing, it turns blue, even though the text color box still shows green. Actually, any text I try to replace turns blue! If I try to change the color of my blue text, the text color box shows the new color, but the text on the template is of course, still blue.
Please help:)! So frustrated and on a deadline.
Thank you:)!

Just wondering, when you pull up the inspector, is the writing that is coming up blue a hyperlink (when you click on it, will it take you to a web page or an e-mail)?

How to change text color in CS4

Hey everyone. I know I'm not fluent in Dreamweaver, but had DW8 before upgrading to CS4 and I'm pretty handy with it. In version 8, if I wanted to change a text color, I simply highlighted the text and picked a color. No worries.
However in CS4, I seem to be only have that ability in my CSS properties, (not HTML properties). Then when I try to change the color, it gives me a dialogue box asking questions such as "new CSS", "for this page only", etc. and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.
Can someone tell me in a user-friendly way (step-by-step), how to simply change a text color on a page? I went to the help topics and it said to use the 'color-picker', but that takes me back to my original problem.
I'm either doing something terribly wrong, or ADOBE has made a simple task into brain surgery!
Thanks in advance for assistance!
Mark

Beginning with CS3, DW became more compliant with W3C web standards which call for content (HTML) being separate from style (CSS). Thus you now have two properties boxes: one for HTML content and another for CSS styles.
Create a few CSS classes using the CSS style panel.
CSS:
.red {color: red}
.blue {color: blue}
.green {color: green}
Highlight a word or sentence on your page and apply the appropriate class to your HTML.
HTML:
 this is red text
 this is blue text with GREEN WORDS in the middle

I need to change the color of the font in my Bookmark Toolbar. Unable to read all bookmarks.

No longer have a question about editing the Bookmarks Toolbar. I may be dense, but I have not discovered how I may change the text (font) color when using View, Bookmarks, Custom. I see the capability to choose to use text and image, but not to change the color of the text. The ability to "bold" the text would probably be sufficient. I will revisit the Getting Started page and select other background colors to try and alleviate the problem. Persona or thema colors conflict with black text (for my older eyes - I have a vision problem.).

You can make such a change with code in userChrome.css
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.

How to change the color in "blocks" effect

Hi,
I've got a problem with Motion.
I use a "behaviour" effect on my text that is called "blocks".
When I set parameters to default, I see a blue effect with some red blocks in backgroud.
I want to turn this effect into a green effect.
The problem is that when I change the color into green, there is still a strange orange color on some blocks.
I've added all the color parameters (face, shadow...)that I thought it could be due to but nothing changes. I still have this strange color on some blocks.
The strangest thing is that it sometimes becomes ok when I make the changes but when I save and re-open my file in FCP or Motion, it isn't ok.
Has anyone already used this effect and seen that problem?
Thanks for your help...

Text behaviors work by sequencing the Text's parameters.
Try changing the color of your text's outline.
Select the Text tab in the Inspector
Go to the Style sub tab
change the Outline color to green
