Re: [Flashcoders] Get the average of 2 colors
Probably the best thing would be to get the average for each channel individually and then combine them. I have an example of separate color channel manipulation (the old Color class way) at the bottom of this page http://flash-creations.com/notes/asclass_color.php if that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Get the average of 2 colors
Whats the easiest way to calculate the average of two colors? Your answer sounds fine, given that there's not really a precise definition of the 'average of two colours'. But certainly if you were interpolating between colours, that's what you'd do. There are two main ways to combine colours: additively, as you did, or multiplicatively (how's that for a word?), otherwise called 'modulating'. We use multiplicative combinations of colours for things like reflections, where the colour of one object affects the light coming off it. Additive blending is used when we have two sources of colour shining on the same spot. In your case, I'm pretty sure additive is what you're looking for.

Get my ColorTween class at www.mediaverk.lv/asd/com/jR/Math/ColorTween.as Then do the simple thing: import com.jR.Math.ColorTween; var midColor:Number = new ColorTween([0xFF, 0xFF]).getPoint(255/2); trace(0x+midColor.toString(16)) 2006/3/10, Joakim Carlgren [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Whats the easiest way to calculate the average of two colors? varcolor1:Number = 0xFF varcolor2:Number = 0xFF varmyColor:Color = new Color(my_mc) myColor.setRGB((color1 + color2) / 2) I know its not this simple and probably I need to play with bitwise operators..

Re: [Flashcoders] Get the average of 2 colors
Average the components or various colorchannels (red, green and blue) as
stated earlier.
Wille
varcolor1:Number = 0xFF
varcolor2:Number = 0xFF
t_iBlend = blendComponents(color1, color2);
showComponents(t_iBlend);
function blendComponents(a_iColor1, a_iColor2){
t_ar_Color1 = toComponents(a_iColor1);
t_ar_Color2 = toComponents(a_iColor2);
tr = (t_ar_Color1[0] + t_ar_Color2[0])/2;
tg = (t_ar_Color1[1] + t_ar_Color2[1])/2;
tb = (t_ar_Color1[2] + t_ar_Color2[2])/2;
return tr 16 | tg 8 | tb;
}
function toComponents(a_iColor){
t_ar_Color = Array();
t_ar_Color.push(a_iColor16 0xFF); // red
t_ar_Color.push(a_iColor8 0xFF); // green
t_ar_Color.push(a_iColor 0xFF); // blue
return t_ar_Color;
}
function showComponents(a_iColor){
trace(r: + (a_iColor16 0xFF) ) ;
trace(g: + (a_iColor8 0xFF) ) ;
trace(b: + (a_iColor 0xFF) ) ;
}
