Forums → Programming Forum → change color

If you mean that the movieclip changes color randomly only when is created, you can do this:
In a new as file we gonna make a new class, write this:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.events.Event;

public class part2 extends MovieClip{
public function part2():void{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,added);
}
public function added(e:Event):void{
var array1:Array=["red","black",&quoturple","yellow","blue","green"];
var i:int=Math.random()*array1.length;

switch(array1[i]){
case "red": graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
break;
case "black": graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
break;
case &quoturple":graphics.beginFill(0x800080);
break;
case "yellow": graphics.beginFill(0xFFFF00);
break;
case "blue":graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
break;
case "green": graphics.beginFill(0x008000);
break;
}
graphics.drawCircle(0,0,4);
graphics.endFill();
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,algo);
}
public function algo(e:Event):void{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,algo);
}
}
}

Dont forget to save it &quotart2" without commas.


Then in the actions of a saved as3 file write this:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,crear);
function crear(e:MouseEvent):void{
var pointart2= new part2();
point.x=mouseX;
point.y=mouseY;
addChild(point);
}

If you dont understand something please tellme

will this work in AS2 or just AS3, because i'm using AS2

And here it is ColorTransform.

Some helpful things:

Create a random hex rgb value:

Math.floor(Math.random() * 0x1000000) // 0xFFFFFF + 1

I could only get it to add one MC to stage and change color only when I clicked on it.This is what I got.

import flash.geom.Transform;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var timer:Number = 0;

var rect:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("MC", "MC"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());

var trans:Transform = new Transform(rect);
trace(trans.colorTransform);
// (redMultiplier=1, greenMultiplier=1, blueMultiplier=1, alphaMultiplier=1, redOffset=0, greenOffset=0, blueOffset=0, alphaOffset=0)

var blueColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 0);

rect.onPress = function() {
trans.colorTransform = blueColorTransform;
trace(trans.colorTransform);
// (redMultiplier=0, greenMultiplier=1, blueMultiplier=1, alphaMultiplier=1, redOffset=0, greenOffset=0, blueOffset=255, alphaOffset=0)
}
function onEnterFrame()
{
timer += 1;

if(Timer >= 120)
{
timer = 0;
rect;
}
}

can you tell me how to fix it so it keeps adding MC and so it changes without having to be clicked.

Are we trying to add a new rectangle every 120 frames?

that last post was really from me not ps3dude10. and no I want to add my car MC every 1/6 second and I want the car to randomly chose a different color each time it's added to stage.

yes but i couldn't get it to work this is what I got so far:

import flash.geom.Transform;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

class Traffic extends MovieClip
{
var speed;
var type;


function onLoad()
{

speed = 2;
type = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+1);
_x = 650;
_y = Math.random()*200+50;

}
function onEnterFrame()
{
var trans:Transform = new Transform(this);
var redColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 255, 0, 0);
var greenColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 255, 0, 0);
var blueColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 0);
trace(trans.colorTransform);
_x -= speed;
_rotation -= 5;

if(this.hitTest(_root.ship))
{
if(type == 1)
{
trans.colorTransform =redColorTransform;
trace(trans.colorTransform);
}
if(type == 2)
{
trans.colorTransform = greenColorTransform;
trace(trans.colorTransform);
}
if(type == 3)
{
trans.colorTransform = blueColorTransform;
trace(trans.colorTransform);
}
this.removeMovieClip();
}
if( _x < -30 )
{
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
}

It's working now .

right now it just makes it all one color. Is there any way to change the MC hue? I know you can in Photoshop and I think you can in Flash, but do you know how to do it in AS2?

I'm not sure if you can do it in AS2, but this page shows how to do it in AS3

Ok, I'll probably start making my game in AS3.
