FLASH: that darned RGB problem ATT John Dowdell

[EchoDotCom Designs.]

well thanks to some friendly folks here I have managed to cut down my code

quite a bit, however I am thinking that I would like to suggest a built in

function for flash 5.(fix bug version number) Hex() built in for just such a

case where the color is passed as a string so the less obvious function

(parseInt(X,16)) wont hide so well from the person in need. the function

would be simple:


function Hex(stringVal){

	stringVal=parsInt(stringVal,16);

	return stringVal;

}



this will alow this:


newColor = newColor(targetMovie);

newColor.setRGB(Hex(colorString));


done! and in looking through the flash action script dictionary i would have

found it under HEX :o)
