Question

I thought this would be pretty straightforward, but I’ve been searching for a way to do this and can only find ways to do it with a movie clip.

I have a normal rectangle shape in Flash. I’d like to change the fill color of it using code, so I can use flashvars and be able to change the color of the shape with a few HTML adjustments.

Is this even possible?

If so, can someone please just post an example of how to do it.

All I need to know is how to change the fill color of the shape. I’ve got the flashvars sorted.

Answer 1

Use ColorTransform.

var trans:ColorTransform = square.transform.colorTransform;
trans.color = uint(0xFF0000);

square.transform.colorTransform = trans;
