FLASH: setRGB (try three)

[Scott McDonald]

Sorry for being a pest, but I didn't see any responses to my two previous

posts... I am going crazy here... please tell me how or if I can get the

equiv to this:



White = "0xFFFFFF"

newColor = new color(testMC);

newColor.setRGB(White);


it makes it black, regardless of what hex I put in...  I have tried using

eval:


eval("newColor.setRGB(" + White + ")"); which traces correctly :

newColor.setRGB(0xFFFFFF) but doesn't fire. which is likely because I am

trying to use eval, JavaScript style... but I am going nuts trying to figure

out what I am doing right, I need to be able to change the color of a movie

script based on which or 40 buttons are pushed.... so far the only solution

I have found is a 40 framed MC with different colors (totally not

acceptable) or a mock if else if switch with each of the colors broken down

(workable, but cumbersome) any ideas? if it can't be done, they can I ask

John, why did MM make it so you can use variables for anything BUT setting a

color?


thanks in advance
