Change Colour

[MechatheSlag]

I got several of an object, and I wanna change the colour of one of the objects to another colour =/

Ex:
I got 5 OBJECTA
I wanna change OBJECTA with alterable Value A = 1's colour without it does to the rest.

Any help? :3

if you mean 'replace colour' then its impossible.

[Sarah]

Replace colour only works with cloned objects, not duplicates. The duplicates of an object all use the same shared graphics, so if you replace colour for one, you replace colour for all.

Replace colour isn't hugely useful anyway, because it only replaces the exact colour match. So you can't replace all shades of red with shades of blue, for example, without about 100 separate actions.

Yeah, I went here 'cuz the "replace colour" didn't work =/

I thought using overlay Redux or something could do magic? (I don't know much about that object :3)

It would seem easier to use active objects and make different directions be different colors. Then you can change direction which will change the color.

What about a different animation sequence? There are quite a lot.

[Spike]

There are a few work arounds to this - as the post above this says use a different animation, or even use a brand new object (although probably not the best way)

You could also just use specific "frames" of a direction - frame 1 is one colour frame 2 is another etc, although it depends on your object and how many frames each object has as this can get messy.

Or perhaps you could wait for the Ink Effect SDK to be released, so you or someone else can make an ink effect that can do this. Ink effects can be applied to specific instances of an object.

This Ink-Effect-Object sounds quite powerful. I hope it will become equally versatile as the ink-effects you can apply in flash.

Does anyone know when it will be released?
