I’ve got an MC name “bg” with the following code on it:
onClipEvent (load) {
var a = 15; // this is the speed of the transition, the higher the value, the slower the fade
myColor = new Color(bg); // this sets up the color object, and sets the other variables to the initial values
var cRGB = myColor.getRGB();
var cHEX = cRGB.toString(16);
var newRGB = cRGB;
var newHEX = cHEX;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (cHEX<>newHEX) {
// break the hex into 3 values, one for each color
var cHEX_r = parseInt(cHEX.substring(0, 2), 16);
var newHEX_r = parseInt(newHEX.substring(0, 2), 16);
var cHEX_g = parseInt(cHEX.substring(2, 4), 16);
var newHEX_g = parseInt(newHEX.substring(2, 4), 16);
var cHEX_b = parseInt(cHEX.substring(4, 6), 16);
var newHEX_b = parseInt(newHEX.substring(4, 6), 16);
// adjust each value independantly, so you don't get any wierd colors showing up
// adjust red value
if (cHEX_r<>newHEX_r) {
var r_diff = Math.round((newHEX_r-cHEX_r)/a);
if (Math.abs(r_diff)<1) {
cHEX_r = newHEX_r;
} else {
cHEX_r += r_diff;
}
}
// then green value
if (cHEX_g<>newHEX_g) {
var g_diff = Math.round((newHEX_g-cHEX_g)/a);
if (Math.abs(g_diff)<1) {
cHEX_g = newHEX_g;
} else {
cHEX_g += g_diff;
}
}
// then blue value
if (cHEX_b<>newHEX_b) {
var b_diff = Math.round((newHEX_b-cHEX_b)/a);
if (Math.abs(b_diff)<1) {
cHEX_b = newHEX_b;
} else {
cHEX_b += b_diff;
}
}
// adjust the color to the new value
// sets the decimal numbers back to hex
cHEX_r = cHEX_r.toString(16);
cHEX_g = cHEX_g.toString(16);
cHEX_b = cHEX_b.toString(16);
// this check is needed if there is a 0 value in the string, when you use toString() it will leave 0's blank,
// instead of filling them in, so you get "0" instead of "00" or "e" instead of "0e" so this fills in the 0
// if it is needed
while(cHEX_r.length < 2) {
cHEX_r = "0"+cHEX_r;
}
while(cHEX_g.length < 2) {
cHEX_g = "0"+cHEX_g;
}
while(cHEX_b.length < 2) {
cHEX_b = "0"+cHEX_b;
}
// end toString() fix
cHEX = cHEX_r+cHEX_g+cHEX_b; // set the current HEX variable
myColor.setRGB(parseInt(cHEX, 16)); // set the color of the BG (or object)
}
}
I’ve tried removing the code from the “bg” clip and placing it on the main timeline using this sort of syntax: “bg.onEnterFrame = function() { }” but the code doesn’t execute so there’s obviously something else that needs to be updated for this to work on the timeline. Thanks for the help.
