Set brightness on MC

[lash]

Here's a quick one:

What is the easiest way to change brightness on a MC. I know that I'll need the Color class, but can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks

This is selfexplanatory:

import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
var _bright=0.5;
var myElements_array:Array = [1, 0, 0, 0, 1,
            0, 1, 0, 0, 1,
            0, 0, 1, 0, 1,
            0, 0, 0, _bright, 0];
var myColorMatrix_filter:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(myElements_array);
target_mc.filters = [myColorMatrix_filter];

Thanks. That did it!

I'm not certain it makes a huge difference, but there is a somewhat more complex method used in Grant Skinner's ColorMatrix class. And the hue, contrast, and saturation methods are great.

It's just alpha not brightness.

how can i change brightness?

The same class I posted also controls brightness, see the example and download the source from gskinner.com:gBlog
