getPixel-method - how do i get the R value of RGB ?

Question

Hi there ..

i have a greyscale image and i want to scan the pixels out of the Image and this is what i get :

  var i:int;
  var j:int;
  for (i = 0; i < img.contentWidth ; i++)
   {
     for(j = 0; j < img.contentHeight; j++){
        pixeldaten.addItem({x:i,y:j,pixel:bmd.getPixel(i,j)});

     }
   }

but the table doesn't look like RGB Values . (R , B , and G must be the same)

: example

Answer 1

getPixel should return the hex value value of the pixel, you could then do something like

// get the red value

bmd.getPixel(i,j) >> 16
