HSBInterpolator

Package	spark.effects.interpolation
Class	public class HSBInterpolator
Inheritance	HSBInterpolator Object
Implements	IInterpolator

Language Version:

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The HSBInterpolator class provides Hue, Saturation, and Brightness (HSB) color interpolation between RGB uint start and end values. Interpolation is done by treating the start and end values as integers with RGB color channel information in the least-significant 3 bytes, converting these to HSB values, and interpolating linearly for each of the h (hue), s (saturation), and b (brightness) parameters.

Because this interpolator may perform more calculations than a typical interpolator that is simply interpolating a given type, specifically to convert the RGB start and end values, this interpolator provides the option of supplying start and end values to the constructor. If you specify the start and end RGB values, then the conversions of these values is calculated once, and does not need to be done at every future call to the interpolate() method during the animation.

HSBInterpolator

Constructor

public function HSBInterpolator(startRGB:uint, endRGB:uint)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Constructor. The optional parameters for startRGB and endRGB help to optimize runtime performance by performing RGB to HSB conversions at construction time, instead of dynamically with every call to the interpolate() method.

Parameters

	`startRGB:uint` (default = `NaN`) — The starting color, as an unsigned integer RGB value.

	`endRGB:uint` (default = `NaN`) — The ending color, as an unsigned integer RGB value.

Method Detail

decrement

()

method

public function decrement(baseValue:Object, decrementValue:Object):Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns the result of the two RGB values added together as HSB colors. Each value is converted to an HSB color first, and then each component (hue, saturation, and brightness) is treated individually. The saturation and brightness components are clamped to lie between 0 and 1, and the hue degrees are modulated by 360 to lie between 0 and 360.

Parameters

	`baseValue:Object` — The start value of the interpolation.

	`decrementValue:Object` — The change to apply to the `baseValue`.

Returns

Object — The interpolated value.

getInstance

()

method

public static function getInstance():HSBInterpolator

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns the singleton of this class.

Note that the singleton of the HSBInterpolator class might be less useful than separate instances of the class because separate instances can take advantage of precalculating the RGB to HSB conversions for the start and end colors.

Returns

HSBInterpolator — The singleton of the HSBInterpolator class.

increment

()

method

public function increment(baseValue:Object, incrementValue:Object):Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns the result of the two RGB values added together as HSB colors. Each value is converted to an HSB color first, and then each component (hue, saturation, and brightness) will be treated individually. The saturation and brightness components are clamped to lie between 0 and 1, and the hue degrees are modulated by 360 to lie between 0 and 360.

Parameters

	`baseValue:Object` — The start value of the interpolation.

	`incrementValue:Object` — The change to apply to the `baseValue`.

Returns

Object — The interpolated value.

interpolate

()

method

public function interpolate(fraction:Number, startValue:Object, endValue:Object):Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The interpolation for the HSBInterpolator class takes the form of parametric calculations on each of the three values h (hue), s (saturation), and b (brightness) of HSB colors derived from the start and end RGB colors.

Parameters

	`fraction:Number` — The fraction elapsed of the animation, between 0.0 and 1.0.

	`startValue:Object` — The start value of the interpolation.

	`endValue:Object` — The end value of the interpolation.

Returns

Object — The interpolated value.
