PixelTip

In my Flash 8 bit-twiddling adventures I’ve found it useful to be able to check the colors of individual pixels in a running swf. If you need that too, I offer you the PixelTip class, a variant of my ToolTip class that simply displays the coordinates and value of the pixel under the cursor. (The cursor itself doesn’t show up in these screenshots.)



The class has just four public methods, all static:

· setBoxSize(wd:Number, ht:Number) (default 150 x 50)
· showDecimal(yesno:Boolean) (default true)
· showHex(yesno:Boolean) (default false)
· register(tipTarget:MovieClip). Of course you can register multiple MovieClips.
