I have been trying to reset the color on a pv material after transforming it I think I can do it all with tweener but was trying without success to get something like this to work.

bitmapAssetMaterial.bitmap.transform.colorTransform = new colorTransform(1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0);

or

bitmapAssetMaterial.bitmap.colorTransform( bitmapMaterial.bitmap.rect, new colorTransform(1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0));

Are you trying to tween the transformation?

I've done this for a "burn" effect...

    // I'm using a MovieClipLoader, so I'll just leave the code as is...  
    // This is the "burn" portion of the code...
   /*
   callback:Function is a function to do something once the "burn" effect has completed.  
   fadespeed:Number is the duration in seconds for the transition to do its work
    */
private static function GetMovieClipLoader(callback:Function, fadespeed:Number, transition:String):MovieClipLoader
    {
            var loadListener:Object = new Object();

    loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void 
    {
        switch(transition)
        {
            case "BurnBlack":
                SetBurn(target_mc, callback, fadespeed, -255);
                break;
            case "BurnWhite":
                SetBurn(target_mc, callback, fadespeed, 255);
                break;
        }
    };
            var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
    }

public static function SetBurn(targ:Object, callback:Function, fadespeed:Number, burnInit:Number):Void
{
    targ.Offset = burnInit;

    var tween:Tween = new Tween(targ, "Offset", None.easeIn, targ.Offset, 0, ((fadespeed) ? fadespeed : 1), true);

    tween.onMotionChanged = function() 
    {
        Burn(targ, targ.Offset);
    };

    tween.onMotionFinished = function()
    {
        if(callback != null) callback();
    };
}

private static function Burn(targ:Object, val:Number):Void
{
    var coltrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();

    coltrans.blueMultiplier = 1;
    coltrans.redMultiplier = 1;
    coltrans.greenMultiplier = 1;
    coltrans.blueOffset = val;
    coltrans.redOffset = val;
    coltrans.greenOffset = val;

    targ.transform.colorTransform = coltrans;
}

A lot of bloat here, but it may help you see what's going on...

If you set the blueOffset, greenOffset and redOffset to 0, and set the Multipliers to1, that should == no color transform...

I am actually doing a x² 3d selection (sort of like a carousel) and I created a var called _off that I was tweening with tweener and onChange I was applying the position with a tilt and making them recede to alpha.

mat.bitmap.colorTransform(mat.bitmap.rect, new ColorTransform(1,1,1,1-(Math.abs(plane.x)/1300)

but I needed to reset the colorTransform before applying this, but setting the multipliers does not seem to be working, but I will fiddle with your code?

i think this should do it:

bitmap.transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform();

I am trying to reset the colorTransform of a bitmapData of a papervision material rather than the bitmap. I think maybe I need to have a bitmapData copy of my original and reassign a clone of it, probably missing something but at the moment I have got it to work, but seems like it would be heavy... eg something like

function onUpdate(plane, mat, i, j) { // other stuff mat.bitmap = _bitmapDataClones[j].clone(); _colTrans.alphaMultiplier = 1 - (Math.abs( plane.x )/1300 ); mat.bitmap.colorTranform( mat.bitmap.rect, _colTrans );

}

The onupdate is happening for every plane every onchange of the single movement tween, that much cloning seems rather excessive

yeah i suppose if you're working directly on the bitmapdata, it would make sense to store a copy somewhere. you might wanna look into copyPixels vs clone for speed tho. not entirely sure, but i believe copypixels is quicker.

ps hideaway, I think I will prob use burn and alpha, mystic thanks will check, at mo getting the look and basic functionality optimise will be later, but seems like either is rather heavy.

I didn't realize you were using BitmapData 'cause I'm a 'read it fast to get the jist kinda guy'. I've always stored a copy of the BitmapData, myself. It does have some overhead, but it ensures you have an exact copy to revert to.

I know Arse and bit-101 have used a lot of BitmapData schtuff in AS 3... Might wanna see if they can chime in...
