Might be Flash. They draw a hotspot over every object that you can recolor. The color wheel moves a bit in the opposite direction of your drag so you can select faster. And then they either use some color manipulation on the current region or just load a pre-colorized image asset for the object. I've done something like this for a furniture site and I just used simple color manipulation.

seems like flash above all else. ego's right about the tactile controls—no different in this case than MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP event listeners among other things.

 

as far as changing the color, you could also just load the base image, and a bunch of drawn-out overlays, fitting the shape and size of all the objects you can recolor. when the event listener for MOUSE_DOWN is triggered for a specific object, you reveal the color overlay and can change the color and (i think) blending mode of that specific overlay through actionscript, based on whatever color is scrolled to by the user.

 

edit: but if you only have so many colors to choose from (aka not totally customizable RGB values for example), then loading in pre-colorized image assets for each object might be easier. i'm just nerdin out

[Guest mohamed]

yes, the precolorized stuff i've thought about it, but done in photoshop

 

say one layer per color, and linking the same picture over and over to the indesign document with different layers activated (previous masking each object of course)

 

i should have specified this process is to be thought for an ipad so there's no way to use flash, even linking to a site outside the magazine (it's a digital magazine)

 

i can use multiple layers in photoshop, and link a different psd for each picture box into indesign. but it's static.

 

all i need is a dinamic way to change color to objects into pics, with a color palette inside the digital magazine application into the ipad (too many people to go through) or, just a way to trigger each different photoshop layer into indesign.

 

do i need to have coding knowledge for it? i can't modify the iPad application, nor i want. not for me

 

i don't need any animation too. max-msp anyone? i have the program but not the knowledge, but i can back studying it

 

thanks for the responses

hi mohamed.

 

i like crystal lighthouses.

 

do you like crystal lighthouses too?

[Guest mohamed]

hello Plum

 

i like crystal lighthouses too, how can one diskile them?

 

hehe

 

btw

 

one important thing to add, the structure of the digital magazine

 

in short, there's this set of indesign plugins that makes one work with indesign layers like they're photoshop layers. once esporting the indesign for ipad document, this shit makes a jpg of each layer and press them into an application called digimag, that contains the jpegs plus the other elements of the document. audio, video, and stuff. i can put over an normal indesign document some other elements that makes shit happen once you touch the ipad screen with the finger. one is a sensible area that works once you touch the screen, another is a scrolling area that makes you scroll picture box with many pictures linked into it for example. so i could make a scrolling box with each different layer but i don't get the same effect of changing color with the touch. now that i think about it i could make a palette into indesign with many sensible areas linked to each color, that links to the same pic repeated over and over but with the related layer activated that once you touch it, takes the same color. hehe

 

what do ya think?
