Description
This is probably past due for some, and I apologize
Several people have asked me about making a tutorial that changes the color of the dress up character with the push of a button. This tutorial will show you how to do that if you have a dress up already going but would like to add this feature.
This tutorial assumes you know how to create a dress up, and a little bit of actionscript too. It's very basic, it demonstrates how to add a button to a sample dressup. You can find the demo dressup here: [link]
For how to create a dressup, check out my basic dressup tutorial here: [link]
Hope this helps those who have been asking this for months.
This also required you to have Flash MX 2004.

Not sure, it gave me about 4 different errors about the ColorChange name, which I did make sure ot name the button.

Remember to name the button "ColorChange" in the properties window too, right below where it says "Button"

I did, though, that's the confusion.

Could you tell me the error Flash gave you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um, it gave 3.
Accessof possibly undefined property flash.display:SimpleButton.ColorChange.onRelease = function() {
Accessof undefined propert _currentFrame
Access of undefined proprety _totalframes
And I put the actions as
"stop();
ColorChange.onRelease = function() {
if(_currentFrame < _totalframes)
nextFrame();
else
gotoAndStop(1);
}"

Luls, I'm trying to follow the color changing code, but it still doesn't work. >.>; How'd you do it? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, first, what are you using? I'm using a code that only works if you play it in Flash 9 and using Flash CS3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can do it on flashCS3, but than I would have to know the code for the drag-the-clothing thing too.

aw tried and it didnt work. It treated it like a movie and flashed the colours of the base really fast when i tested it lol Any idea how to fix that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Usually that happens if there's an error with the actionscript, or the actionscript may have been placed in the wrong place. Make sure the code is in "Actions-Movie Clip" and that you name the button accordingly. I wish I could help more but hope this helps! ^^

ahh i think ive almost got it (I think xD) but im having some problems with the actionscript. I cant tell where you put the spaces.. is it possible you could post the actionscript? I saw below someone asked the same thing.. but that isnt the same actionscript as in the tutorial :S sorry im so annoying xD
