Hey everyone!

I've been working on my project, and I need to implement a color selection tool. I have the setup to select the red, green, and blue by use of a slider for each, but I can't get it to work. My problem is in the moving of the slider to... well, it's pretty complicated, and to fully understand it, you would probably need to see the code within my program. So I guess what I need is a function that would make a slider type thing for r, g, and b and would keep track of each value. I'll include your name in the credits if you help me.

Thanks...

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

hehe theres a unknown scientific factor and name for this condition.
What happens as soon as you post your question and hit that button, something inside changes and most of the time if your really trying the answer pops into your head afterwards.

We all have suffered from it at one stage.
lets call it post-obvious-ness-ness-ness
or post-duh!

dont sweat it, It shows your thinking and trying. anyone who dismisses you for that isnt worth your smelly socks mate

You're so freakin' cool indi. Gimme another phrase! I almost died laughing at "Stimpy hand kawalski that glass of meat!" (P.S. this is not meant as mockery, more like envy that I don't know any cool phrases such as... )

thats from a famous cartoon called ren and stimpy bro.

It was a famous cartoon a few years back that poked fun at everything.

Its not my handiwork but actually from the creator John Kricfalusi ( dont try to pronnouce his last name or you will sprain your tongue)

Hes a master of insane stuff


The episode was where ren the chiwawa was to become a daddy for a day but he ended up being a daddy to a full grown hairy man who was a criminal in jail. when they went to the park for a nice day he asked him what he would like to drink and kawalski said in a big gruff voice MEAT!

so stimpy the cat poured him a glass of meat

Ha! That's insane! I love Ren and Stimpy, but I never had cable until recently, and for some reason I don't seem to watch it now...
Anyways, I was under the impression that it was a phrase from down under, or somesuch. Oh well, it looks like I'll try my hand at another day of making myself look stupid...

hehe your alright mate If someone is stupid in OZ theres a million ways to describe it.

One of my personal favorites is 4 buscuits. It means u are 4 buscuits short of a packet or not a full sandwich.

I had a mate we called 4 buscuits for ages until he realised what we were saying. He just thought it was a nickname

LoL... Ren and Stimpy RULE!

I stay up till 2 in the morning sometimes to watch it on Foxtel on Nicelodeon (however you spell it)...

i LOVE the episodes where Ren is a presenter on his own show and he does documentaries on the wild hairy people that live in the forests... LoL...

Ah, the memories...

Indi, i must say, you have got to be the most relaxed Moderator in these forums...

Keep up the good work...

thanks jess. Ironically yesterday though "Terabyte" chewed my head off in the chat room being insulting somehow to my reply drakex in another post.

I guess theres no pleasing some people and everyone but hey its not my problem if they wish to challenge authority for whatever glitch they have.

thanks again it helps to know some people think im doing alright.

Hate to bring the sad news but I believe John K. and the rest of Spumco were fired around the second season so that Nickalodian could make more $$$...most of the R&S cartoons were done by sweat-shop animators featuring the voice of (sell-out)Billy West...

Funny how I'm always on this forum but I never seem to post anything involving programming!
oh well

Yep. R&S were cool. So were the Ripping Friends, also made by John K. Something happened to that show too, though. (lol this is getting way off topic...)

Indi, what part of Australia do you hail from? I ask only to inquire as to weather you have Cable or Satellite (or neither)...

Hey PoHa!84, i was just thinking....

For the colour slider...

For each red green and blue values... you should make it like in Photoshop etc, where you can enter different values for the different colours, then have a seperate "slider" that shows the actual colour...

To do this, use the "slider" sprite (or image, or whatever it is that you click and drag) use its screen x and y values to get where it is next to the bar with the colour in it, then use the Point(x,y) command, and get the colour of the screen at that point (just next to where the "slider" is pointing) which gives you the selected colour...

Hope That makes sence to you...

Well, that's why I called it a pre-beta. Um... but what were the errors? Too numerous to count? Probably better to e-mail and tell me I guess...

[edit] Sweet color slider, JessTicular. Um... Can I tweak it a little and use it in my program (giving you credit, of course)???[end edit]
