'''ItemColor''' [[furniture]] is a type of color-selectable furniture. It is currently limited to static furniture and is not compatible with [http://www.whirled.com/#whirleds-d_90 EveryColor].

==Using ItemColor Furniture==

To change the color of an ItemColor Furniture piece, click on the furniture. An outer ring will open up displaying the base color:

[[Image:Itemcolor-vase1.png]]

Click on any color of the outer ring to show the inner ring and then click one of the colors on the inner ring to change the object's color:

[[Image:Itemcolor-vase2.png]]

'''Only an owner of a room can change the color of an object. '''

If there are multiple objects that are ItemColor-enabled, each one can be individually colored:

Some objects can also have portions that do not change color. In the example below, the bottom half of the left vase is always blue.

==Creating ItemColor Furniture==

The process of making ItemColor furniture is meant to be fairly easy assuming the [[Whirled_SDK |Whirled SDK]] has been installed.

===Step 1 - Set up===
'''Download this zip file [[Media:Itemcolor.zip]]. This zip file contains an example and the ItemColor Class. Make sure to place ItemColor.as in the same folder as your furniture.''' This file handles adding the proper Mouse listeners, drawing and coloring the palette and updating and applying the memory.

===Step 2 - Drawing===
'''Draw your furniture so that the clips that change color are in shades of gray.'''

[[Image:Itemcolor-vase_mc.png ]]

===Step 3 - Assigning the Color Clip===
'''Make sure that the clip that will change color is called ''color_mc''. This should be nested inside the furniture symbol.'''

Example 1: The vase is a symbol called ''plain_mc''. Inside of it is another symbol with an '''instance name''' of ''color_mc''.

Example 2: The vase is a symbol called ''strip_mc''. Inside there are two symbols - one with an '''instance name''' of ''color_mc'', which will change color and another symbol named ''blue_mc'', which will not change color.

===Step 4 - Naming Instances===

''' Make sure that each ItemColor furniture has an instance name.'''

In this example, the vases have been named "vase1_mc", "vase2_mc" and "vase3_mc".

[[Image:Itemcolor-instances.png]]

===Step 5 - Coding===

'''Add the required code to make the ItemColor furniture work:'''

<actionscript>
import com.whirled.FurniControl;
var _ctrl:FurniControl = new FurniControl(this)

new ItemColor(this, _ctrl, vase1_mc, 0, 0)
new ItemColor(this, _ctrl, vase2_mc, 0, 0)
new ItemColor(this, _ctrl, vase3_mc, 0, 0)
</actionscript>

The first two lines are required for Whirled furniture and instantiate the FurniControl.

The next three lines instantiate the ItemColor furniture.

The first argument ('''this''') refers back to the main instance and is used to draw the color menus. This should not be changed.

The second argument (_ctrl) is the Furniture Control. This is passed to properly manage the memory functions.

The third argument (vase1_mc) is the '''instance name''' of the furniture that will be provided with ItemColor functionality.

The third and fourth arguments are the x and y '''offsets''' of the center of the palette circle. Leave them at 0 to place the center of the palette at the origin point of the furniture item. Adjust them as needed for your piece of furniture.

Once that is done, publish the file to a SWF and [[create furniture|upload]] it to Whirled!

==ItemColor Group==

The {{groups|ItemColor Stuff|487}} Group is where you can go for any questions on creating ItemColor objects.
