DESCRIPTION

Tweening a MovieClip's/DisplayObject's tint is already a built-in feature of TweenLite/TweenMax. But what if you want to tween more advanced color-related properties? Ever wanted to tween advanced effects like bleaching or flashing? If you tried, you probably noticed that it didn't work unless you kept re-applying a freshly edited colorTransform object to your MovieClip on every frame. Annoying, I know. And did you ever want to tween the percent of tint that a MovieClip gets? Me too. Well this class gives you an easy way to set/tween various ColorTransform properties. You can use it with almost any tweening engine, but of course it integrates perfectly with TweenLite/TweenFilterLite/TweenMax.

PROPERTIES

• tint
• tintPercent
• brightness
• redOffset
• greenOffset
• blueOffset
• alphaOffset
• redMultiplier
• greenMultiplier

• color (same as tint)

USAGE

Simply create a new ColorTransformProxy instance for any MovieClip/DisplayObject you'd like to control (like var ctp = new ColorTransformProxy(my_mc)). Then when you change the property of the ColorTransformProxy instance, it'll affect the MovieClip/DisplayObject. See the interactive demo above to see exactly how the code works. It's pretty simple actually.

Keep in mind that when you change a MovieClip's/DisplayObject's tint, you won't notice a change unless you also set the tintPercent to a value other than zero.
