change color

[akschinas]

Hi,

I'm working on a drag and drop interaction. I want to drag a movie clip with text onto a target and have it change color. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to change the color once it's dropped onto the target?

Thanks!

Not sure what event will signal the drop onto target but here is one way to re-color your MC:


newMCColor = new Color( _root.myMCwithText);
newMCColor.setRGB(0x00FF00); // 00FF00 is hex value for green


...where 00FF00 can be any hex color value. The hex value is preceeded by "0x" [zero - x] . Don't know exactly why! :)

Good luck,
Cheez
