I’m creating a fairly complex animation frame-by-frame, but I would like to be able to change the color of certain parts of it dynamically. The only approach I can think of is changing each section into a movieclip, putting them all into an array and then looping through the array and assigning a color. However, the animation is long and since the colored shapes constantly change, I would end up with more than a hundred MCs.
A better option, if possible, would be to create a custom variable that I assign as a color in the color picker. So, instead of choosing a value like “#CCCCCC”, I would be able to assign a name like “customColor”, then I would dynamically change the value of “customColor” in AS3. Is that at all possible? Do you know of any extensions that add that functionallity?
