tint plugin-random colors

[ekessler]

Is it possible to have the tint plugin tween to random colors?

If not, is it possible to do it through an array?

 

Thanks,

Sure.

 

var randomColor:uint = 0xFFFFFF * Math.random();
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {tint:randomColor});

 

You could also use an array if you want.

var colors:Array = [0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, 0x0000FF];
var randomColor:uint = colors[ int(Math.random() * colors.length) ];
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {tint:randomColor});

Thanks for the fast reply.

How do I wrap that in a function so that each mc can be a different color? What I tried only makes black.

 

 

function colorRandom():uint

{

return 0xFFFFFF * Math.random();

}

Your function worked fine for me, although I'd cast the value in the return like this:

 

function colorRandom():uint {
   return uint(0xFFFFFF * Math.random());
}

 

Did you forget to activate the TintPlugin for use in TweenLite maybe? Are you saying that when you call colorRandom() you always get "0" back?

my fault forgot the () in colorRandom().

Thanks again!
