Thank you James and Dale. You both came up with using the "forecolor"
and an integer as in index into the current palette. But I just
don't understand what palette I would referring to if I'm running in
16 bit or 32 bit mode. I'm afraid that I will never understand
color. I still don't get the red plus green = yellow or is it purple
or is it ... (I honestly don't know)?
But James, where did "paletteIndex" come from? I just tried it and
it works perfectly well - that's what I'll use because it allows me
to use the rgb numbers. But I don't see it documented in any
official Macromedia Lingo manual. The only place I see it is on page
30 of your book!
Thanks again,
Irv
