I was after a way to make a clip transition through a number of shades/colors by assigning a color objects “setRGB” method to a number which decreases every frame.

[AS] stop();  
next\_color=new Color(“useit”);  
var num=0;  
useit.onEnterFrame=function(){  
num+=1;  
next\_color.setRGB(num);  
trace(num);  
} [/AS]

Everything sought of starts off promising, but then the colors seem to get stuck in some kind of loop & revert back to the colour set at authoring before transitioning again.

Anyone any idea what is going on here or why it won’t work?
