Hi Karl, Kind of tired, so the easiest way I can think of to do this is to evaluate and convert each pixel's RGB values to HSB and then average your found values for all the pixels in the region the loader is to be displayed within. Hue, Saturation, Brightness. if the brightness is less

As it's been said already, you could try converting to HLS and the get the average luminance (brigthness). Here's a handy class to convert from RGB to HSL and viceversa. http://www.dreaminginflash.com/2007/11/19/hls-to-rgb-rgb-to-hls/ Another approach, which might be faster (but you'd have to

It's indeed much faster (five times faster than transforming to grey scale), though the results I'm getting are incorrect (the other 2 methods seems to return consistently similar results, though trasnforming to HLS takes about 3200 ms for a 1152 x 864 image, and transform to grey scale takes

I'm not sure, but maybe it is. Your approach seemed the easiest and fastest, so I gave it a try. I'm getting very different results compared to the other 2 methods, but I'm not really sure if I'm scaled the image properly, that's why I posted the code. Anyway, since I already have the code for

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm following you at this point... However, I was not talking about *displaying* a grey-scaled image. Just using it as way to calculate each pixel's luminance / brightness. Which in this case will give you the same results as transforming to HLS and reading the L value.

Hi, Wordpress has the monotone theme which sets your CSS colours based on the image colouring. I am not sure if this is done in Flash or not, but I am guessing there will be some code in there somewhere to work out the colour or the image which you might be able to adapt...

If all you want is a visible loader, you might even try a blend mode, like difference. Which you would then have to deal with stylistically, but that would make the code required null. If not, I have done this before to place text on an image and I used the scaledBitmap system. The inaccuracies

Simplicity is so beautiful sometimes. I think your right, that will get the effect I am looking for. I still like what was given for the reading of pixels and the HSB conversion though. I am going to try and implement that on another idea I got while trying to figure this out. Thank you all
