I have a very easy question about changing the colour and shape of an object
using action scripting. I've created a slider and activated control of the size
using action script attached and I just need to know what script to add to make
it change colour as it slides as well. Can anyone help me. Thanks

shape.targetWidth = shape._width;
shape.targetHeight = shape._height;

shape.onEnterFrame = function() {
var speed = 5;
this._width += (this.targetWidth - this._width)/speed;
this._height += (this.targetHeight - this._height)/speed;
};

Thankyou for your quick response. I have to admit I'm a bit of a dummy when it
comes to actionscript . I grabbed this script from a tutorial and it seemed to
work changing the size. Could you direct me as to where I would implement this
new code to change the colour as well. I need it to change colours gradually
from onme colour to the next and to the 3rd colour. I can figure out the hex
colours I need to make those transitions I just need to know what part of the
code I need to apply it to. If you could fwd an example that would be great.
Thanks Tuula

to make a decent color blend you can use the following code. just copy the
code below the dotted line (which adds a new method to movieclips) and paste it
into your fla before you use the new method:



// to apply the color fade to a movieclip shape you would use:


shape.colorFadeF(startColor,startAlpha,finalColor,finalAlpha,speedInSeconds,tran
sitionSteps);

// for example:

shape.colorFadeF(0xff0000,100,0x00ff00,3,50);

----------------------------------
MovieClip.prototype.colorFadeF = function(rgb1, a1, rgb2, a2, speed, steps) {
if (!var314159) {
var314159 = 1;
trA = ["ra", "rb", "ga", "gb", "ba", "bb", "aa", "ab"];
}
function fadeF(mc) {
if (!mc.repeatPass) {
mc.repeatPass = 1;
}
co = mc.mcCO;
tf2 = mc.tf2;
tf1 = mc.tf1;
steps = mc.steps;
intermediateTF = mc.intermediateTF;
for (var ivar = 0; ivar<trA.length; ivar++) {
num =
Math.floor(mc.repeatPass*(tf2[trA[ivar]]-tf1[trA[ivar]])/steps)+tf1[trA[ivar]];
intermediateTF[trA[ivar]] = num.toString();
}
co.setTransform(intermediateTF);
mc.repeatPass++;
if (mc.repeatPass>steps) {
clearInterval(mc.int);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
this.mcCO = new Color(this);
this.mcCO.setRGB(rgb2);
this._alpha = a2;
this.tf2 = this.mcCO.getTransform();
this.mcCO.setRGB(rgb1);
this._alpha = a1;
this.tf1 = this.mcCO.getTransform();
this.steps = steps;
this.speed = speed;
this.intermediateTF = new Array();
clearInterval(this.int);
this.repeatPass=0;
this.int = setInterval(fadeF, 1000*this.speed/this.steps, this);
};
