[Snore]

Is it possible to change the tint of an MC via actionscript?
if so, how?

Thanks ye muchly.

Um, lets try this as an experiment:


_root.myMovieClip._tint = 34



Thats assuming its a percentage... I can't remember right now... I don't think it is though

not working, i'll check for you though, hold on

You can't really change the tint with AS, _tint is not a valid movie clip property. You can change the color with the Color object and/or the alpha with the _alpha property.

ok, thanks anyway :)

tinting can be done by using various effects such as alpha
to change tint over a frame add something like


this.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha=this._alpha+10;
}

But that's not changing tint. That's simply the transparency of the symbol as a whole.

The closest you're going to get to AS tint is the following.

var colors = {rb:63.75, gb:63.75, bb:127.5};
(new Color(mnNameHere)).setTransform(colors);


Something like that...
