Drag Drop Color Swatches

Hi,

"Googled" without success, for finding AS 2 or 3
code for creating  
drag & drop swatches. The goal is having the source
swatch color an  
object when dropped.

I'll retreat to my lab, while awaiting helpful replies.

The approach would determine what methods to use.

If the swatch colors are predefined (placed in an array or
what ever) then
just use hit test and use the current dragged item which
should contain an
object or variable with the color, set the color of the mc
that has been hit
on mouse up.

or

Use the same method above but use bitmap data to select and
set the color.

Basically you are going to use a few different methods to do
this -

startDrag and stopDrag
hitTest

get color and set color
set-

Hi,

  After retreating to my lab:
[CODE]

stop ();

function DragDrop (cDrag)
{
	cDrag.onMouseDown = function ()
	{
		startDrag (this);


	};
	cDrag.onMouseUp = function ()
	{

		this.stopDrag ();
	};

}



//These types are simple strings, how can I type them as
MovieClip &  
Color..


function colorTarget (tSwatch:String, cColor:String)
{

	tColor = new Color (tSwatch);
	tColor.setRGB (cColor);




}

DragDrop (swatch01_mc);
colorTarget (swatch01_mc,0x7979ff);
[/CODE]


It's just a start, However, it appears to be following in
your  
suggestions light. Color and target can be assigned from an
array.  
Please offer suggestions before the code goes astray.

Saw a lot of errors there so i changed up the code a bit.
You will need the
hit item, I dont know what you planned on hitting, weither
it was one MC or
one of many, if so just loop through the MCs that are
hitable to change the
'changeMe_mc'. Also, you need to add a mc to the stage named
changeMe_mc and
then a few others named swatch01_mc - swatch03_mc to see
this work -

stop ();
var colorArray:Array = new
Array("0x7979ff","0x7900ff","0x79ff
ff");

var thisRoot:MovieClip = this;

function DragDrop (cDrag)
{
    trace(cDrag)
       cDrag.onPress = function ()
       {

               startDrag (this);


       };
       cDrag.onRelease = function ()
       {

               this.stopDrag ();
                if (this.hitTest(changeMe_mc)) {
                    trace(this.colorId)
                    colorTarget (this, this.colorId);

                   }

       };

}



function colorTarget (tSwatch:MovieClip, cColor:Number)
{
    trace("here we are")
    var my_color:Color = new Color(changeMe_mc);

      tColor = new Color(tSwatch.colorId);
      my_color.setRGB (cColor);




}

for(var i = 1;i<colorArray.length+1;i++){
    thisRoot["swatch0"+i+"_mc"].colorId
= Number(colorArray[i-1])//0x7979ff
    DragDrop
(thisRoot["swatch0"+i+"_mc"]);
   
//trace(thisRoot["swatch0"+i+"_mc"])
}

Hi,

No errors where returned to the output. Error as in elements
needed  
for best practice. Anyway your solution was what as expected
of draft  
(2). Thanks I'll post if any questions arise.

Hi,

No worries, the code worked, the MC color was set, the clip

Thanks Again,
CK
