Originally posted by gster123 If you render the suit now on a sepperate layer you can compoaitie the layers together so that the suits over the top of the black, then adjust the hue. Or have I got it wrong what you are asking? all i want is to know how to render into .swf vector, with a certain color/area to be completely invisible, with the bojects behind it invisible also. once i know how to do this i hope to apply it again to every part of the knight OTHER THEN the tabbard, therefore i can import both files into flash and have the colored tabbard on a seperate layer to change colors of.
