Character Customizations

I’m trying to decide what’s the best way to set up character customizations (for instance, during character creation) for my game but I’m not sure of the way to go. I think vector grapics will be the best idea to reduce the size of the game. However one of the main things I want to add is the ability to use a color picker (of some sort) and allow players to change the colors on their clothing, hair, eyes, skin, etc… plus some things might have multiple colors to change. An example would be grey armor with black highlights and change both of those to different colors.

Now here’s my question, what does anyone think would be a good way to go about doing this? Is there a way to find a specific fill color in AS and replace it with a different one? That’s the only way I can think of doing this besides manualy changing the colors in Flash and having each different setting be another frame of the main image (i.e. green might be gotoAndStop(39)). Any suggestions or ideas would help out greatlly.

I’m using Flash CS3 and AS2 (I started this game a year ago, and it would take many months to migrate all the code to AS3 :slight_smile: )
