Default Re:Flash Colorpicker / Eyedropper

Hi, you cannot move the color picker out of the flash movie. It can be done by the following method

1. When the left mouse button is pressed, change the cursor to the coloe picker and capture mouse(so even if the cursor is moving out of the flash movie, the app can still be notified with mouse move messages)

2. When the cursor is moving, get the desktop color

3. When the left mouse button is released, stop getting desktop color and restore the cursor to an arrow

We will make a sample for you in a few days
