I have this text String in an Array. It’ll be sent to a TextField, but first I’d like to change the color of one of the letters. Like this:

[FONT=Courier New]some\_array = [COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]“This i\<font color=’#000000’\>s\</font\> an example”[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR];

[/FONT]  
But I’d like to do it with actionscript, so I can enter a number and one of the letters changes color. In this example the number is 7, since ‘s’ is the 7th letter.

How would one do that? 🙂
