Jim, Here's a utility Class I made to tint any MovieClip using the ColorTransform object.
Use it and modify it as you wish :) HTH ! A class ca.daroost.utils.Tint { // /*************************************************************************** ****** * * Constructor : Tint * **************************************************************************** *****/ // function Tint() { } // /*************************************************************************** ****** * * Method : tintMC * * Changes the tint of the targetMC * * @param : targetMC - the MovieClip to apply the tint to * color - the new color to be applied * alpha - the new alpha to be applied * **************************************************************************** *****/ // public static function tintMC(targetMC:MovieClip, color:Number, alpha:Number) { alpha = (alpha == undefined) ? 100 : alpha; var tintTransform:Object = new Object(); var newColor:Color = new Color(targetMC); var r = color >> 16 & 0xff; var g = color >> 8 & 0xFF; var b = color & 0xFF; var pRed:Number = Math.round(r/255*100); var pGreen:Number = Math.round(g/255*100); var pBlue:Number = Math.round(b/255*100); tintTransform.ra = pRed; tintTransform.ga = pGreen; tintTransform.ba = pBlue; tintTransform.aa = alpha; tintTransform.rb = 0; tintTransform.gb = 0; tintTransform.bb = 0; tintTransform.ab = 0; newColor.setTransform(tintTransform); } } -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 7 novembre 2006 15:59 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Q;Convert hex values to ra,rb,ga,gb,ba,bb,aa,ab??
