Flash Tips and Techniques Using Advanced Bitmap Color Manipulation Tutorial
As most users know, in Flash you can't modify anything about a image - say for example, its blending mode - to simulate what Adobe Photoshop or Adobe After Effects does with images.

But there's also something that many people don't know about images and Flash. Flash has a quite impressive "channel manipulator" window that allows you to modify some of the images' (and objects') colors on-the-fly without really modifying an image. Unfortunatelly it's not really magic - for example, you can't mix the color channels or use complex formulas, like in Photoshop's Filter Factory - but it's almost there.

I think there's only one occassion where I've seen this special property being used - in a Flash movie I saw a long time ago. Really sad, since it allows many features and, better yet, without using addittional bytes for new images.

Before you start making magic with your images, you have to create a new movie in Flash (File> New) and then import an image into your scene (File> Import> Select an image you like).

As the image will have its color channels recalculated to create a new image based on new color calculations, I strongly recommend you to import a grayscale image for your manipulations. This is because all channels will be the same all the time, and the results will be more predictable. And grayscale images are, of course, just one third the byte size of a color image. Colored images will work, but I don't recommend it.For this tutorial, I've used a picture I've just taken from one of my Evangelion's Action Figures, Asuka's EVA-02.
