Thread: Flash question

I haven't played with ActionScript much. Does it use Hexadecimal color codes? or
what is the syntax of the codes it uses?

It's not using action script, and im not sure what you mean by hexadecimal, but above the colour swatches panel it has a box that displays a number when you click on a colour, for example, black is #000000

actually yeah i think it is hexadecimal

Yes that is hexadecimal
hex color codes work as follows:

there are 3 hexadecimal bytes that refer the r g and b values.
the first two digits are one byte representing red
the second two are the second byte representing green
and the third two represent blue

#RRGGBB

So if you take a normal color mix like middle grey
Red: 128
Green: 128
Blue: 128

128 in base 10 is 80 in hexadecimal ( base 16 )

So middle grey is:
#808080

You can use this to construct your own color codes
and thereby have all the colors you would ever need.

each byte goes up to 255 ( base 10 ) or FF ( hex )

[edit] BTW flash is ActionScript. You're probably just using a user-friendly frontend for it
