The only one problem was with Adjust Color filter where I had to use external library, to do this I have converted AS2 version of Grant Skinner<\/a>‘s ColorMatrix<\/a> class with his permission.<\/p>\nBelow is the sample file with original and recreated filter stack, further below is the output generated by my JSFL script.

You can have JSFL scripts available within the Flash authoring environment by storing them in one of several folders within the Configuration folder. By default, the Configuration folder is in the following location:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n- Windows\u00ae Vista\u2122:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n- boot drive\\Users\\username\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Adobe\\Flash CS4\\language\\Configuration\\<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\n- boot drive\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Adobe\\Flash CS4\\language\\Configuration\\<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\n- Macintosh HD\/Users\/username\/Library\/Application Support\/Adobe\/Flash CS4\/language\/Configuration\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Once copied the script will appear in the Flash IDE under commands menu, the zip contains also sample file, one more thing, the script comes “as is” but I would like to know your feedback,<\/p>\n

Hi, working with designers one will always get into a problem of replication IDE based filters via code, it’s not a pleasant task nor quick as well, but what about if we could actually make it quick and pleasant? Well, … Continue reading
