Question

Stage.colorCorrection is a myth

I cannot find a browser or platform on which the Stage.colorCorrectionSupport property returns anything but "unsupported": Windows, Mac, Chrome, IE, Firefox. Is it implemented anywhere, or was this just something that got abandoned along the way? I'm guessing that since most games wouldn't care, this feature gets no love.

Presumably it worked at some point, since there's an Adobe help article touting this once-new feature, along with a sample SWF that would allow you to toggle Stage.colorCorrection off and on. But first you have to find a platform where Stage.colorCorrectionSupport is something other than "unsupported".

Yes, I am truly looking for conversion of stage colors to the current monitor profile, and no, I am not looking for conversion of input image colors to sRGB, and yes, I understand the difference between the two. In fact, I'm not sure the author of that help article did understand the difference, since the inclusion of images with a BGR profile really just confuses the issue.

Can I get a response from Adobe? That would be super-fantastic. Thanks.

this is not an official adobe response. 

but, that's not a browser property.  that property reflects whether the user's main monitor has an understandable (to actionscript) icc color profile.

i do have a color correction profile assigned to my monitor and stage.colorCorrectionSupport indicates color correction is supported when i test that actionscript in a browser window but, not in my standalone flash player.

my browser has fp 11.7+ and my standalone is 11 but i can't find a subtype which shouldn't matter because stage.colorCorrectionSupport should work in any fp 10+.

I am clear that it's not a browser property, thanks. I mentioned browsers because there are different plugin binaries for the different browsers (Pepper, NPAPI, ActiveX), and I would not be surprised to hear that there are subtle differences between them. Certainly we see bugs under Pepper that we don't see elsewhere. Luckily we actually get responses when we file bugs against Chromium, so we're not reduced to pleading for help on a mailing list .

I have run the sample SWF in Adobe's help article on every browser and machine I have and always see "stage.colorCorrectionSupport: unsupported". I'm running 11.7+ everywhere.

I'm not the only one who's reported this: here's another forum post reporting that this problem started in 10.3. That post got no replies though.

do you have an icc color profile assigned on your test system?
