Flash ActionScript - Filters

[jztheillest]

Hi,
I'm trying to control the brightness of an image through action script that would be in turn controlled by buttons.

So, on the on(release) handler How would I attach a code that would make it brighter or darker, hopefully by controlling the color - brightness filter? via actionscript

thanks,

JZ

Well, a Bitmap or Graphic doesn't have the Filters enabled for them. Also, Please don't double post, it is against the Posting Guidelines.

Although, if you changed it into a movie clip, you could use the MovieClip._alpha Property, and so an example of an on(event) handler would be one like this...

on (release) {
    _root.image_mc._alpha = 100;
}

You will need to create variables to hold the filter information, then push the dynamic filter into the filter array for your object. However a bitmap cannot have filters applied to it so you would need to place it inside a movie clip. You could also use the ._alpha variable to control the brightness as an alternative to filters.
