I was wondering is there a way to recognize the density of pixels in
flash AS2 or AS3? The darkness or lightness.
For instance, say I have a loader that is dynamically loaded and
normally it would be, say, white.
But lets say I want it to have a script that detects the pixel
density of the MC behind it so as to let the loader mc know to play
on frame 1 or frame 2.
Frame 1 having a white loader and frame 2 having a black or grey loader.
That way when the loader is dynamically placed over a MC with a
picture in it,
it will detect if there is a white picture (placing a black loader)
or if its a color picture (placing the white loader on top)?
Usage would be for say a photo gallery and while one picture is being
displayed, and the user clicks a new photo,
the previous photo does not remove until the new one is loaded.
Thus if I have a white loader and the previous photo was white under
the loader,
the loader is hard to see and the user sometimes does not know that
anything is happening.
I basically think it would just take a script that would map out the
x and y of the loader
and read the pixel density of the MC directly behind the Loader
(reason for the x and y theory)
then switch so the user will always see a loader. Either grey or
white depending.
Sounds good in my head, may not be too good (or easy) in code though.
Any thoughts would be great,
Thanks,
