92% percent of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch said it wasn't cool to breathe. Repost this if you are one of the 8% who would be laughing your ass off.

Man I wanted to say that ^
But this interactive color/clothing changing really rocks.
I shall !

That's a bit tricky, because there really was no tutorial that I used as a guide to create these pieces. Early on, I did find and use some basic Flash tutorials that showed the best way to draw art, or use animation and Action Script, and Flash MX does have those kinds of tutorials included with the software if one has the patience.

You bring up an interesting point, though, because it might be worthwhile for me to put together a tutorial of my own to show people how to create something like this. It's really not that painfully complex, since it uses some pretty uncomplicated Action Script and Movie Clip handling.

I don't know who familiar you are with Action Script, but what I do is make each item of clothing a seperate Movie Clip, and create global variables assigned to each one for Color and Toggle (on or off). If an item of clothing is toggled off, the Alpha for that Movie Clip is made to be 0 (in other words, invisible). Within the movie clip for each item of clothing, individual frames are assigned different colors, with the Color variable determining which frame is played.

I don't know if that thumbnail helps at all, but unless and until I make a tutorial of my own, that's about the best way I can describe the basic process of creating this kind of piece.

whats a global varible

A global variable is a variable that applies to any timeline in any movie clip. It is prefaced by _global.
So, as an example of setting a global variable:

_global.SkirtColor = 1;

This lets you use the variabe both within the main timeline of your Flash document, as well as within the movie clip for Skirt (or any other movie clip, in fact). When using Action Script, I almost always use global variables, since it tends to be easier than keeping track of particular variables for the select instances in which they are used.

thanks, your really good at explaining thing. anyway, where did you learn how to do that exactly
