Tweening color animations with setTransform

[designerTrevor]

Hello all,

I just wanted to briefly thank all of the experinced AS coders who are willing to help out the newcomers to actionscript; without all of their posts I'd be utterly lost, instead of merely somewhat lost as I am now.

So here's my question: I'm trying to get a piece of code that increments the values for setTransform to make a more gradual transition to a color than the one frame jump that it usually does.

I've got a random image on my stage that I have named "pict" and converted into a movie clip. Attached to the movie clip is the following code:

code:

---

onClipEvent(load) {

	var oNewColor:Object = new Object();

	oNewColor.rb = cVarR;

	oNewColor.gb = cVarG;

	oNewColor.bb = cVarB;



	cVarR = 0;

	cVarG = 0;

	cVarB = 0;

}



onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

	newcVarR = -100;

	newcVarG = 80;

	newcVarB = 120;

	if (newcVarR < cVarR) {

		cVarR = cVarR - 20;

		

	} else if (newcVarR > cVarR) {

		cVarR = cVarR + 20;

		

	}



	if (newcVarG < cVarG) {

		cVarG = cVarG - 20;

		

	} else if (newcVarG > cVarG) {

		cVarG = cVarG + 20;

		

	}



	if (newcVarB < cVarB) {

		cVarB = cVarB - 20;

		

	} else if (newcVarB > cVarB) {

		cVarB = cVarB + 20;

		

	}var cPict:Color = new Color(pict);

		cPict.setTransform(oNewColor);

		trace(cVarR+" , "+cVarG+" , "+cVarB);

}

---

The trace function returns that the values are incrementing as I want, but the image itself never changes. I suspect this is more of me not getting the AS logic yet, since that's what's been bedeviling me.

Currently, and for the forseeable future, I am using MX 04. Someday, when I win the lotto, I'll buy 8. :P

As always, any information is much appreciated.

you are not updating oNewColor at enterFrame, so oNewColor is still 0,0,0 which is created when the movie was loaded.

var oNewColor:Object = new Object();
oNewColor.rb = cVarR;
oNewColor.gb = cVarG;
oNewColor.bb = cVarB;

should be included in the end of onEnterFrame instead of onload.

Yes. Thank you very much. I apprecciate it.

And eventually, when I've got the whole project that I'm working on finished, I'll post a link to it (in the proper forum, of course) to show you guys what all your help accomplished.

Actually, that *doesn't* work.

I tried tacking the oNewColor object on the end of the onClipEvent(enterFrame) statement (and in various other places in the statement) and I still can't get the color to change in the MC that the code is placed in.

Any helpful information is appreciated. Thanks!
