That is exactly what it does, eg 0x735555 becomes 7558485, but that's not
what I need. I need it to stay hexadecimal, but to be recognised as a
number type. It shouldn't be converted, its type needs to be changed.
Well, a number is a number - 0xff *is* 255. If you need it to be hexadecimal
for some visual or string reason, you need to convert it back to an hex
string - with .toString(16).
Hey, it's Zeh, it's your mc tween class I'm using isn't it? :> Fantastic
script...
Yes, it probably is. Thanks!
The docs only have hex numbers used in the colorTo() function, so I
assumed that's what I needed - can I use a normal int too?
Sure, you can. Like I said, a number is a number - whether you're seeing it
as "F" or "15" is just a matter of visual representation under a certain
base. If you want to write something using hex numbers, you can use, say,
0xff2101 because it's easier; but if you pass the parameter as being
16720129 instead, it's the same thing. You could even use 077620401 as an
octal number, it's no different to Flash. The same applies to any method or
function that 'usually' an hex number as input - say, the setRGB method
(colorTo uses the same color input parameter).
In the end,
trace (0xff === 255);
Traces "true".
- Zeh
