Color Mixing Flex Application

I’ve always found the color mixer found in the very nice Color Schemer Studio to be very useful. I’ve only used the trial, and it’s been hard living without it. So, I decided to create my own app. I’ve only made the color mixing part of the program, as it is the only feature I ever use, and anything more would only complicate things too much (this is my first Flex app).

Right now, you can choose a color from the color picker, enter a Hex value, RGB values, and HSV values. Changing one will affect the others, real-time. There’s also a button to copy the Hex value into your clipboard, for convenience.

It’s still not finished though. I’m planning on adding an eyedrop tool to pick colors from the desktop. I still need to figure out how to do that, probably only possible through AIR. And I’m having trouble customizing the sliders to have a gradient background, like in the Color Schemer Studio program, to better visualize what color you are going to get when moving the sliders. I also plan on publishing this as AIR app, to make it even more convenient. And once I get the hang of Flex, I’ll make it pretty, like all the other Flex apps out there.

Enough babbling, here is the application itself. If you have any suggestions or discover any bugs, please comment. Note though, that this is very unfinished. Right now all it has is core functionality. I haven’t even thought about the interface yet. Need to read up on customizing components first.

UPDATE: I’ve updated the app. It’s pretty much done at this point, as I am satisfied with it. But if anyone has any suggestions, I am still open. Links updated.
