Cool, thanks for that. It's strange the holes you find in your AS
knowledge sometimes...

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

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".
