Hi
Generally I don't have problems if the flashObject that I create is created
by the Flash Sprite in which I want to use it in. But sometimes it doesnt'
make complete sense to externalize everything within Director. One method
that is a slight change from what you are doing would be to create a
"utility object class" that you reuse in all your flash movies. Then have a
function setup in it to take an object and a target as a string and do the
work inside of flash. Let me see what I can dig up from my utility object
files...
Here is a class (I don't know how bad it will come out in email form, that
deals with just color functions. You could use these base functions and
another function that would take either an object reference or target path
as string and a hex color as a string and convert the hex color to rgb
components and apply the color all inside of flash..
Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman
PS Class file is as follows.. this is what I have so far:
/*
MRJColorUtilityClass
Description:
This class definition is a container for utility functions that can be
used to
manipulate color objects, strings.
Class Functions:
MRJColorUtilityClass: Class Constructor
fHexStringToHexNumber: Function that accepts a hex color
string in
either "0xFFFFFF"
of "#FFFFFF"
formats. Returns an base10 decimal value that
representing
the hex number defined by the string. Failure
to supply a
string that can be parsed to hex will return
the boolean
false.
fHexStringToRGBComponents: Function that accepts a hex color
string and
returns an array
containing the
3 rgb components
fHexNumToRGBComponents: Function that takes the base10
representation of
a hexidecimal
color num and
breaks it into its rgb components and returns it
as an array of
the 3 components.
fRGBComponentsToHexNum: Function that takes 3 integers
representing the
red, green and blue
RGB components
and converts them back to a single hexidecimal color
value
represented as a base10 integer.

_global.MRJColorUtilityClass = function(){
trace("hi MRJColorUtilityClass");
};
MRJColorUtilityClass.prototype.fHexStringToHexNumber = function(sHexNum)
{
if (sHexNum.substr(0,2).toLowerCase() == "0x"){
return(parseInt(sHexNum));
} else {
if (sHexNum.indexOf("#") == 0){sHexNum = sHexNum.subString(1)}
return(parseInt(sHexNum,16));
}
};
MRJColorUtilityClass.prototype.fHexStringToRGBComponents = function(sHexNum)
{
if (sHexNum == "" || sHexNum == null || sHexNum.length < 6){
return([0,0,0]);
}
return(this.fHexNumToRGBComponents(this.fHexStringToHexNumber(sHexNum)));
};
MRJColorUtilityClass.prototype.fHexNumToRGBComponents = function(iHexNum)
{
return([(iHexNum & 0xFF0000) >> 16,(iHexNum & 0x00FF00) >> 8,iHexNum &
0x0000FF]);
};

{
