Ok I didn’t want to ask for something so stupid and trivial, but I am finishing my project, and after three days without sleep, I am not able to think anymore. I am sure the answer to my problem is very simple, I am just too inexperienced to see it.
Can anyone help?
Here’s my prob: I have a database that holds colors. The colors are chosen through a backoffice in PHP/javascript, and stored through mySQL as varchars.
they are retrieved through a modified class of loader as strings
Until here, if I trace my color variable, everything is fine;
Then I have this:
var rect:Sprite = new Sprite()
trace(color)
rect.graphics.beginFill(uint(**color**))
rect.graphics.drawRect(0,0,squareSize,squareSize)
rect.graphics.endFill()
addChild(rect)
until the trace, the color is what it should be. But the color I see on my screen has nothing to do with the color chosen!
As an example, here are three colors chosen in the backoffice, and their counterparts, color-picked in photoshop after a printscreen of the website:
996633 => 006633
333300 => 003300
ffffff => 00ffff
0000ff => 003300
Now, what is driving me crazy is if I change the above line
rect.graphics.beginFill(uint(**color**))
with
rect.graphics.beginFill(0x0000ff)
it works flawlessly.
Anything else fails!
I’ve tried:
uint(color)
parseInt(color,16)
uint("0x"+color)
parseInt("0x"color,16)
And many other things which I can’t remember now due to huge fatigue…Please help if you can, so I can sleep. I am going crazy over this.
Thanks in advance.
