I have a movieClip, who’s color properties are to be changed dynamically. It will receive a Hexadecimal value from an external source, which will specify the colour to be displayed. The format of the hex value to be received is FF0000 (no prepending ‘0x’).
I have written this simple function:
[AS]
function set_colour(hex_colour:Number):Void {
face_color.setRGB(hex_colour);
}
set_color(FF0000);
[/AS]
So the idea is to simply pass the hex values to that function, and have it change colours accordignly.
However, in the example above, it does not work because ‘FF0000’ is not a properly formatted hex string (no ‘0x’). If I try and add the hex identifier in the function, I get an error;
eg:
[AS]
function set_colour(hex_colour:Number):Void {
hex_colour = 0x + hex_color;
face_color.setRGB(hex_colour);
}
set_color(FF0000);
[/AS]
This returns ‘Hexadecimal digits expected after 0x hex_colour = 0x + hex_colour;*’
*Obviously if I send the *set_colour() *method an argument in the form of (0xFF0000), the function will work, but I will be receiving the values without the ‘0x’.
So, I guess my question is - How can I convert FF0000 into 0xFF0000 ?
