Ok, i have been messing around a little with flash, and i want to know how to NOT change the color of a button if i have not set an option in the query line.

example : flash.swf?buttonA=003366  
or : flash.swf

here is my code…

if (\_level0.buttonA != “”)  
{  
var colorful = new Color(“top.nextButton”);  
colorful.setRGB(“0x” + \_level0.buttonA);  
}

This works when i set the value in the query line, but when i do not set a value, it is black. the default color that i set is Blue. I am trying to get it to show as blue if i have .swf?buttonA= or even just .swf and nothing following.

Thanks in advance!
