Image manipulation...can this be done?

[flashpipe1]

Is there a way to change the color/tint of a particular range of color within an image??

I've been looking into bitmapData and colorTransform tutorials, descriptions, etc. to see if there's a way to do this, but I haven't found anything.

Basically, I've got an image with several "blobs" of color (red, blue, etc.), and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to manipulate those areas without affecting the entire image (make the red turn yellow, make the blue turn green, etc.)

I'm thinking I might have to come up with some sort of routine to look at an image, pixel by pixel, get the color, and, if it matches a particular range, create a new movieclip of that color, and, when it's finished, I can transform the color of that clip...is that overkill??

Any better way to do this??

Thanks!!!

ya know I saw this demo a while back that did just that, as well as demostrated a 'green' screen type effect behind video (dynamically)..

I'll try to search for it..

here it is... havent looked at the code at all..

but he is dynamically keying out colors in the video.

the whole app is pretty sick actually..LOL
