FLASH: Dynamic Background color change in Flash

[2Nerotik]

Here's and interesting question for you.


Since the last couple of questions on Flash and the background color of the 

main

movie.


I've been seeing if I could get it to dynamically change.


So far I can get the background color of the HTML page to change color without

reloading it AND I can get the background color of the Flash movie to change.


However I cannot for the life of me get them to be the same color.


The HTML part is easy it follows the normal HEX & RGB values.


However I just can't seem to get flash to dsiplay the right values.


Question what is the proper syntax of

	parent.window.document.Foo.BackgroundColor


So far I've tried:

	parent.window.document.FlashChangeBGColor.BackgroundColor(255,255,000);

&

	parent.window.document.FlashChangeBGColor.BackgroundColor="255,255,000";


The 1st produces and error that the Object doesn't support... bla bla bla.


The 2nd works... kind of. It produces a color change in the background 

color but

never the colors I think it is suppose to. Take the numbers above, they should

produce the color yellow, but not once could I get it to do so.


So I wonder just what is the proper value you should use when specifying 

the color

code for this ?


The only time I've been successful and gotten the proper color change was when

I used a JavaScript to generate a 5 color array and inputed the value with a

document.write howover this requires a refreshing of the document if a 

different

color is desired for the movie.
