FLASH: SetRGB: ATTN:Helen

[Scott McDonald]

Thank you Helen for the help, THAT does work, but I am not sure how I am

going to use it in context of what I need, maybe you will have further ideas

if I show you the context that it will be used.


I have a movie clip with a button inside, the movieCLips instance name is

the hex color 0xFFFFFF for example. the buttons code says:


on(release){

_root.changeClipColor(this._name);

}


_root.changeClipColor is this:


function changeClipColor(passedColor){

	newColor=new color(_root[passedColor]);

	colorTo=passedColor;

	newColor.setRGB(colorTo);

}


This wont work, it makes everything black, now according to your

explanation, I would have to convert passedColor to a non string HEX value,

which makes since, however I don't see anyway to do that in flash. have you

anymore idea's? I am very lost myself.


Thanks in advance for any help
