Setting color from loaded variable in textfile

programming flash
1

I have a text file that set’s some color values I would like to use in my flash movie. bascially its a config file for movieclips rollovers(set’s the colors)

my textfile reads as follow


textOut=0x3F6075&baseOut=0xFFFFFF&outLineOut=0xE19C14

My Flash is as follows:


/* loadconfig file */
myTest = new LoadVars();
myTest.load("button_styles.txt");
myTest.onLoad = function(){
	trace(this.textOut + newline + this.baseOut + newline + this.outLineOut);
}

/* function that actually changes the colors */
function insideElement(){
	myOutline.setRGB(this.outLineOut);
	myText.setRGB(this.textOut);
	myBase.setRGB(this.baseOut);
}

Now when I trace the values its fine, but when i apply them to my movieclips, it turns black :hr:

any ideas? thanks

edit: of course i am calling the function, figured you would assume so,
