Hi people XD Im using this code in flash 8 but it’s not working. (It’s only part of the code but its repeated with some other stuff added but anyway, I think this is all you really need to see. It’s for a contact form)

on (press) {  
initial\_name = “0”;  
initial\_comment = “0”;  
if (Number(length(name))\>=1) {  
initial\_name = “100”;  
colorRequired = new color (bg\_name);  
colorRequired.setRGB(0xF1F3F3);  
} else {  
colorRequired = new color (bg\_name);  
colorRequired.setRGB(0xFFECE7);  
}

I get the error -

**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Fields, frame=1:Line 6: The identifier ‘color’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘Color’ at runtime.  
colorRequired = new color (bg\_name);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

In flash 8… I couldn’t find any colorRequired function in the help bit… so I’m guessing this is probably from an older version of flash… Any suggestions?
