Hello! Does anyone know how I can find the exact assets that are using
dynamic textfields (embedding a specific font) in my fla?
When I generate a size report, it shows me what fonts (and characters)
are being embedded, but not where those fonts are being used. My FLA
file is really large, so
I think you can use the movieExplorer with the text selected to know which
texts were in the scenes. That would display the textfiled with the fonts
used and weight other things...I hope this would solve ur problem

Hi,
I'm trying to get AS3 to parse an IFF file, more specifically the EA IFF

For now the best documentation I've found is this link

IFFDigest.
Now since I've never done anything in C,
not sure I made myself clear - given a desaturated greyscale image I need to
be able to tint it to an RGB value - so black stays black, white stays white

between. I need to be able to do this by using code like this:

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can do it just with a color matrix,

greyscale image with the hardlight blendmode on top. I think that should
give you the desired effect.

Take a look at the BitmapData function:

It might be handy. It can certainly tell you if a clip contains any

If not, I guess getPixel() and getPixel32() might be of help.
Hope that's helpful,

you can test for colour by taking a bitmap data snapshot and using getPixel
