Ok, ive been looking color object, it has some usefull functions that may help me, but still dont get how to tell flash, for example, that I want the color of the point 300x, 500y in RGB format. ??? Greetings saumya

i dont think it is easily done it flash per se..
that is more c++ blitting..
setPixel etc..

the way around it maybe to draw a line from (300,200) to (301,200)
and set the color of the line to red..
i forget all the graphics class..

// make an emptymovieclip.
// set color
// start line..
// moveTo(x2my2)..

i just forget all the methods .. do a search for moveTo..

well all that is possible inside flash player.You can get those values from the color object's getRBG() method.
