AlphaColor

Color with alpha channel stored as a 32-bit integer.

AlphaColor represents a color with transparency in ARGB format (0xAARRGGBB). It extends the functionality of Color by adding an alpha channel for opacity.

Key features:

• Full RGBA color support with alpha transparency
• Compatible with Color class (can convert to/from)
• Same color manipulation features as Color
• Predefined constants for common colors with full opacity
• String parsing and formatting
• HSB/HSL/CMYK color space conversions

The alpha channel controls transparency:

• 0x00 (0) = Fully transparent
• 0xFF (255) = Fully opaque
• Values in between create partial transparency

// Create colors with alpha
var semiRed = AlphaColor.fromRGBA(255, 0, 0, 128); // 50% transparent red
var transparent = AlphaColor.TRANSPARENT;
var opaque = AlphaColor.WHITE;

// Convert between Color and AlphaColor
var color = Color.BLUE;
var alphaColor = color.toAlphaColor(); // Full opacity
var backToColor:Color = alphaColor; // Auto-conversion

// Manipulate alpha
var faded = alphaColor;
faded.alpha = 128; // 50% opacity
faded.alphaFloat = 0.25; // 25% opacity

// Parse from string
var parsed = AlphaColor.fromString("#80FF0000"); // Semi-transparent red
