colorMatrixFilter and Flash IDE

[mmiller64]

I'm trying to replicate a Flash CS4 IDE filter setting (specifically, saturation = 14 and hue = -137) with colorMatrixFilter but just can't get it. Your post "Explanation of more advanced tweenMax features" seems to address my problem but I don't understand the explanation. Could you elaborate or specifically tell me how to achieve the above settings with tweenMax?

 

Thanks,

Mack

You just need to set the values in the IDE and then figure out the exact matrix values with ActionScript like:

 

function getMatrix(mc:DisplayObject):Array {
var i:int = mc.filters.length;
while (--i > -1) {
	if (mc.filters[i] is ColorMatrixFilter) {
		return ColorMatrixFilter(mc.filters[i]).matrix;
	}
}
return null;
}

var matchingMatrix:Array = getMatrix(mc);

//then to tween to those values, do:
TweenMax.to(otherObject, 2, {colorMatrixFilter:{matrix:matchingMatrix}});

Perfect! Thanks, Jack!
