ColorTransform

[danBuonocore]

Is there a way to change a MovieClip's color without creating a new ColorTransform object? Something along the lines of

transform.colorTransform.redOffset = 100;

instead of

var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.redOffset = 100;
transform.colorTransform = ct;

Thanks!

transform.colorTransform creates a new colortransform object anyway, so you don't have to make another new one.

Additionally you could just compact it into a single line by using the ColorTransform constructor, if you want:

transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform(1, 1, 1, 1, 255, 255, 255, 255);

YES

setRedColor(mc,100);
function setRedColor(mc:DisplayObject, clr:uint, temp_obj:ColorTransform=null):void{
  mc.transform.colorTransform=(temp_obj=mc.transform.colorTransform)==(temp_obj.redOffset=clr)?temp_obj;
}

Haha. Not really. Follow Sam's advice.
