how do I determine what system colour represents each colour??
I need to be able to change the colour of an active system box during runtime.
For example, sometimes I want the box to be green, then at others red. How do I know what system colour will represent the correct colour??
I want to know this too, i can never see a relation between the number you type in and the colour you get, nor can i find a reference chart or anything on the internet.
Retrieve data from object->Special->Colors->Get RGB Value
Red would be getRGB(255,0,0)
Green would be getRGB(0,255,0)
that worked, great!!
I think quite a few ppl have problems like this ;)
Only because they don't read the help documentation or search the forum ;)Quote:

How do you search the old CT forums??

OK great, I have meaning to look up some stuff from the old forums but didn't know how!
Thanks mate, saved the day again
That's a very perculiar way to do things...
Why didn't they do it so you just type in "255,0,0" or whatever, like most other objects?
Because parsing strings is a really slow task for a computer compared to a simple mathematical function that does the trick :)
