modify tint property with actionscript?

[vancryce]

Hi everyone?

I need to know if it´s possible to change the TINT property of an object (movie, button) with actionscript:

I know how to change de ALPHA property like this example:

on(release){
_root.<object>._alpha=40;
}

and the COLOR, but i don´t know the code for the TINT property.

Thanks,

tint would be done through color.

see the examples at

First of all, thanks for your speed to answer my question:


I found this in that site:

Color.prototype.setTint = function (r, g, b, amount) {
var trans = new Object();
trans.ra = trans.ga = trans.ba = 100 - amount;
var ratio = amount / 100;
trans.rb = r * ratio;
trans.gb = g * ratio;
trans.bb = b * ratio;
this.setTransform(trans);

Ok, but how i use it?

put that code in the first frame of the movie so its run and defined for flash as soon as the movie starts. Then you can use it with a color object just like you would setRGB or setTransform


myColor = new Color(myClip);
//set myClip's tint to be 50% red
myColor.setTint(255,0,0, 50);

How would you use this in a public function, so that the tint is released when another movieclip linked to the class is selected and therefor tinted?
