So, this article looks at how to get the color from an image in AS3, and one of the answers suggests a better way to grab colors using the ‘draw’ function of a BitmapData object. But these are somewhat limiting, I’m trying to implement an eyedropper-type utility and need to be able to know what color the user is seeing at a certain pixel.
I’ve tried using draw() on the stage, but that doesn’t include anything that’s a child of the stage.
Next, it occurred to me that I could just look at the children of the stage to find the foremost one that’s under the mouse, and draw() that, but then we suddenly get into a possibly time consuming recursive search.
does anyone have any better ideas?
