Re: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a color returned from getPixel

2006-07-29 Thread Martin Wood
to go from a 24 bit number to 3x8 bit colour components you can just shift it 
and mask the bits you need :


var r=color  16  0xFF
var g=color  8  0xFF
var b=color  0xFF

that should do the job.

Hi Guys,

I'm having some problems with getting the brightness of a color returned
from get pixel. get pixel returns an RGB color as a number which means I 
was

expecting something like three groups of three numbers 255 255 255 or
similar. what I am actually getting back is of this form 14540754 one digit
short.

Thanks very much for your response Martin but I don't understand it. I don't
have three vars called R G and B. I just have a number which was retuned
from getPixel. Am I being stupid? I can't see how I should  do what you
sugest. Pease explain a little further.
