    Problem changing movie clip color

    in FLASH

    Posted

    Hello once again,I really appreceiate the efforts in helping me with this issue. I have tried both approaches above numerous times now but it seems the frames I am trying to edit stem from a bitmap wich appears to be an instance of a .jpg. When trying the above methods and others it seems I can only change the percentage values (RGB) of the bitmap giving me still and undesirable background color on that image set. If a new layer in the form of a rectangle is created, the same problem: a mix of colors rather than a NEW background color. Question: Could I export this bitmap image to an image editing program or fireworks and then change the background color manually? If so could I re-import it back to my flash movie and rename it the same as the frames call for? Just a thought. Any solution would be greatly appreceiated. I keep hearing how much "fun" Flash can be. Thanks,Onequickmemory.

    The .swf can only have one bg-color for the file and cannot be changed, at least in MX 2004, but as an alternative.....1. Create the layer 'bgchange' or something that you'll remember.2. Click the rectangle tool and give it any size, your desired color, but make sure it has no border.3. Make sure your rectangle is selected, and then open up the properties box. 4. Change the width and length of your rectangle according to the stage size. E.G.: width: 500; length: 400;5. Press F8 to convert the rectangle to a symbol, a movie clip would probably be most convenient, although a graphic may also work.6. Now open the align panel.7. Make sure 'To Stage' is selected, and align horizontal and vertical center.8. Now insert a keyframe on the frame with the final result of the change.9. On that keyframe, open up the properites box again, make sure your MC(Movie Clip) is selected.10. From the dropdown box 'color', select tint, and the desired color of your changed BG.11. In the timeline, right-click > Create Motion Tween, anywhere between the start and end of your change.*If you don't already have the properties or align box open, find them somewhere in Window>.
    Sorry for the slow reply, but I am still attempting this(once again). I tried the method you mentioned but I cannot seem to get it. I did notice however that the frames in question have both a bitmap image and a symbol that are identical in the Library. I tried the floodFill method since there is only one color to chage in the bitmap. This however only changed a small section of color when I tested the movie. I started a new layer in a .fla format and then imported the .swf movie to the stage. If you could offer any more insightful advice I would appreceiate it. Perhaps it is easier to simply edit the bitmap or symbol that is used during that section of the .swf movie(about 50 frames total consisting of two layers)?Thanks again,onequickmemory

    Hello experts,I am working with FLASH for the very first time and I have made a big effort trying to do something that appears simple-To change the background color of my .swf finished movie on a series of frames toward the end. I have unlocked the layers of the frames in question, attempted to insert action script in the root frame of the clip, but any advice at this point would be highly appreceiated. I did not create the .swf movie, so this is new stuff in my camp. Thanks.Onequickmemory.
