I’m always learning new things in actionscript. And the beauty (and curse) of learning new things in AS3, is that I wind up having to learn even more things outside of the code. In this case I was interested in sorting objects in chromatic order. This turned out to be more complex than i thought with the RGB color space but in the process I generated this nifty color spectrum rendering by cycling through all the values in a color uint. Turns out that in order to achieve this type of task, the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) system is more convenient. Time to do some reading up on this now!
