ActionScript has powerful color object capabilities. And, as Krets mentioned, you can inbed javascript in the body of the containing page's html and call it from Flash - that's the standard way of opening a new window with Flash. If you wanted to change the color of a symbol's instance with ActionScript (intirely in Flash), that's pretty straightforward. Not real easy, but do-able. To get a javascript generated variable into Flash... I'm sure it's not impossible, but it's not as straightforward and at least in some instances the limitations are due to the browser, not Flash or JavaScript. By the way - the animation might have to be created with actionscript instead of tweened frames. I don't know. Getting a symbol to rotate in a circle like a clock isn't hard with ActionScript, and the symbols involved aren't "tampered" with the way they are in a tween. In order to change a symbol's properties with script, you have to be able to address the specific symbol. I really don't know if symbols remain "addressable" in that way when they're being morphed in a tween. Interesting question. [This message has been edited by Steve (edited 05-17-2002).] Loading...
