I am wondering about the Hue – I’m a newbie to Flash, but your tutorial instructions are very helpful, and I would like to create an effect that could ‘open’ up the base color tone, so that many (or all) colors would display along with the ‘glow effect’. More important: I would appreciate if you could include some suggestions or code that would allow the middle section to retain the original color (in my case a ‘gold’ effect; yellow) in the ‘glow effect’, while at both ends I could control the Hue – or multiple colors.
Thanks again, I am looking forward to your suggestions.

Hello Tim,

First of all, you work with TextFX in ActionScript 2 or 3?

If you are in AS3 you could insert the TextFX component inside a container MovieClip and then change the colors using the ColorTransform object of that MovieClip.

You will need a timer that will change the color once every several miliseconds and you need to synchronize that timer with the effect of the component.

Basically, in AS 2 you should be able to do the same thing although I didn't look into it so there might be some differences.

Regards,
Andrei Rinciog
