<slaps forehead> of course...

so the return from XPath is an object/array containing a string, and I need it as a number.

trace(bgColour[0]) returns the correct value, but

trace(Number(bgColour[0])) returns NaN - so how do I make it a real number?

The help docs say that a string that starts with 0x will be treated as hexadecimal.

Betreff: [Flashcoders] Is a colour stated as 0xFF00FF an object?

Is a colour stated as 0xFF00FF an object?

I am getting a colour from an xml attribute with XPath (colour="0xFF00FF"),
and then trying to use that colour with the mc tween class -
my_mc.colorTo(bgColour, 1). But it always changes to black.

If I trace() the bgColour, it has the correct value.

If I trace the typeof() the bgColour, it returns object.

What should the type be for this to work?

Thanks for your time.
