Despite searching both the web and youtube for a solution, it remains difficult to find information on colorTransforming multiple movie clips in AS3. I found a video on youtube about colorTransform which i followed steps to create a fully functional colorTransform for a single clip but i would like to use it for multiple clips and be able to change colors for each on a mouse click.
I have included the code below and perhaps someone knows how i can add more movie clips to it. When i copy and change mc1. EventListener code to mc2, i get a duplicate function error which i don't know how to fix.
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// this here is the little movieclip where the main clip gets its color from,the clip is made up of two movieclips but can also be one movieclip
// instead of brushColor i have used myColor and instead of brush.tip i have used square.
var myColor:ColorTransform=new ColorTransform();
myColor.color=0xffffff; square.transform.colorTransform=myColor
red.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
green.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
blue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
orange.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
yellow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
pink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onclick);
function onclick(event:MouseEvent){
if(event.target==red)
{myColor.color=0xff0000}
else if(event.target==green)
{myColor.color=0x99ff33}
else if(event.target==blue)
{myColor.color=0x00ccff}
else if(event.target==orange)
{myColor.color=0xffcc33}
enter code here
else if(event.target==yellow)
{myColor.color=0xffff66}
else if(event.target==pink)
{myColor.color=0xff99ff}
else
{myColor.color=0x666666}
square.transform.colorTransform=myColor
}
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorChange);
function colorChange(event:MouseEvent)
{
mc1.transform.colorTransform=myColor;
}
// upto here the code works fine but from below i get a duplicate fuction error which i don't know how to fix.
// the idea is to add more movie clips so i can change their colors just like i can do for mc1.
1021: DUPLICATE FUNCTION DEFINITION "ERROR"
mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorChange);
function colorChange(event:MouseEvent)
{
mc2.transform.colorTransform=myColor;
}
Push all movieclips into array and then add eventlistener to all of them like this:
And add only one colorChange function like this:
