It seems like the templateButton/field etc doesn't have a usable
backPixel property...
This seems to work, though I don't think it's any better than
Sarah's. It doesn't need to create any objects, but then the Sarah's
could be modified to work the same way.
function getRGB cName
lock screen
put the backcolor of this cd into oldColor
set the backcolor of this cd to cName
put the effective backpixel of this cd into tRGB
put binaryencode("M", tRGB) into tBin
repeat for each char i in tBin
put chartonum(i) & comma after rgbList
end repeat
set the backcolor of this cd to oldColor
return item 2 to 4 of rgbList
end getRGB
Interestingly, 'the effective backPixel' in this case returns a
decimal representation of the 4 byte pixel as a 4 byte integer.
Best,
Mark

Do you know of a way in which that might be modified to use the
templateButton rather than a physical button?
