\nThe same happened with the change that happened from the AS2 setRGB to AS3.<\/p>\n

Specifies an RGB color for a Color object. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

setRGB<\/h3>\n

This is what the ActionScript 2.0 Migration<\/a> has to say about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ActionScript 2.0<\/strong><\/td>\nActionScript 3.0<\/strong><\/td>\nComments<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
setRGB() Method <\/td>\nflash.geom.ColorTransform.color<\/td>\nThe RGB color value can be set by using the color accessor property of the ColorTransform class.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

ActionScript 2 example code:
\n[as]
\n\/\/ AS2 Code
\nvar my_color:Color = new Color(my_mc);
\nmy_color.setRGB(0xFF0000); \/\/ my_mc turns red
\n[\/as]<\/p>\n

\nAnother AS2 example because: “The Color class has been deprecated in favor of the flash.geom.ColorTransform class.”
\n[as]
\n\/\/ AS2 Code (The Color class has been deprecated in favor of the flash.geom.ColorTransform class.)
\nimport flash.geom.ColorTransform;<\/p>\n

var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
\ncolorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000;
\nvar trans:Transform = new Transform( my_mc);
\ntrans.colorTransform = colorTrans;[\/as]\n<\/p><\/div>\n

and the same code in ActionScript 3:
\n[as]
\n\/\/ AS3 code
\nimport flash.geom.ColorTransform;<\/p>\n

\/\/ Changes my_mc’s color to red.
\nvar newColorTransform:ColorTransform = my_mc.transform.colorTransform;
\nnewColorTransform.color = 0xff0000;
\nmy_mc.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
\n[\/as]<\/p>\n

More code to write, for something that I don’t use very much. The next time I need to change an Objects color I probably need to search the solution on the web…<\/p>\n

No, I going to fix this in a neat little package:
\nSave this file into: ‘nl.matthijskamstra.utils’
