Searching for colors

[mcmcom]

Would it be possible to search for a HEX color in a movie clip, or a text object, or ANYTHING in a swf for that matter. Just wondering

Hmmmmm MAYBY not sure

Color.getRGB()

[mcmcom]

that could do ti but now the way i want. For that to work i need to loop through either a selection object or a textSnapshot, this returns only index position of text within a text box. (IE character 1000 will have that color) Unfortuantely I need to find a bounding box (x, y coords) that is that color.

NO SHANCE !!!

it woud by great if there woud by somthing like this because then you coud make nice pixel efects but there is nothing like this

i hope i understand you right and you mean somthing like ---> my_mc.GetPixelcolorAt(10,10)

ya exactly.

It goes with my previous posts about searching. I have created a search function and can highlite found text, but the text it searches for is on a mc within a scrollPane. so if the FOUND text is below the viewable area in the scrollPane i need to be able to scroll Down to it. Unfortunately all the numbers i get back from the search are character positions. With this i would have to make a lookup table with all the metric information of the text (ie. number of chars in a line, number of lines on the page) Its a lot of work, just checkin out other options.

Thanks
