Hi there, I'm saving a bunch of colours as a string then using this string later to colour objects in the same way. Something is going wrong though as the colours I am getting back are not the same as the ones I put in. If anyone could point out where I'm going wrong I'd be really grateful, I've googled this and and have checked the help files and as far as I can see it's correct (though obviously it isn't!).
Here's my code, I've written comments next to the relevant lines: /// in my coloured button class // 1) colour is set on mouse click private function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void { // passes hexValue from ColorPicker colorThis(this.parent.parent["colorPick"].hexValue); } // 2) color is stored in var public function colorThis(c:String):void { //stores colour currColor = Number("0x"+c); var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = this.transform.colorTransform; newColorTransform.color = currColor; this.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform; } // application class // 3) stores colors in an array private function collectColors():Array { colors_ar = new Array(); for ( var i:uint=1; i<=totSprites; i++ ) { //stores colour in array colors_ar[i] = mainImage["s"+i].currColor; }; return colors_ar; } // 4) array is written to string and sent to php to be written to txt file private function sendData(e:MouseEvent):void { showSending(true); var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); //stores all colours as a string variables.colors = collectColors().toString(); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); request.url = "http://www.xxxx.com/text/test.php"; request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; request.data = variables; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT; loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); try { loader.load(request); } catch (error:Error) { trace("Unable to load URL"); } } ///////// viewer class // 5) public function colorIn(o:Object):void { var colA:Array = o.Colors.split(","); colA.splice(0,1); for ( var i:uint=1; i<=totSprites; i++ ) { //calls the method in the coloured button class mainImage["s"+i].colorThis(colA[i]).toString(16); }; } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
