Brightness in flash

[MichaelJ]

I am making a flash game, and It is a horror point and click game and FPS, so it is obviously meant to be dark. Recently, I sent the file to my friend and he complained that even with his monitor brightness up all the way, it is too dark to see. That made me start to think of all the problems others might have when they view my game. Is there some kind of actionscript or something I can do to make the game brighter/darker accordingly? (FL8 AS2)

Hello? Bump...

Hi

I know for sure that you are able to completely manipulate what you see on display using AS3, i.e. brightness, contrast, negative, grayscale, etc...

But I am not sure about AS2. It probably has something to do with RGB of the object. Or you can just use brighter colors when you draw your game lol

Good luck!

Flash would have to be able to read how bright the monitor is which is impossible.

The only way you can do it is allow them to change the brightness or a lot of tweaking to get it working as well as you can.

its difficult to say without seeing your game, but what I would do would be to brighten up all of your graphics then put a black box in a movie clip so that it covers the entire screen and everything in it. Then you can change the aplha of the box to change the brightness.

feel free to PM me if you want more help

Yeah, that's what I did, but the X and Y values of the stage are changed a lot so it won't work. Don'y worry about it now though guys, I think I found something I can do.
