Short of writing a Lingo syntax parser, no. I'd suggest strongly
restricting what the user can enter. For instance if s/he wants to
change the color of something, use color chips like a paint program
does. You can even take a screenshot of the Director color palette
and use that, getting the RGB value of any pixel under the mouse as
the user clicks. This will have two advantages:
1. It prevents the user typing in something boneheaded (for instance
teenagers might try entering obscenities just to laugh at the
messages; and
2. Color chips are much more evocative of hues (as James Newton
mentions) than rgb ( 254, 17, 38 ).

You can set the position just by letting the user drag the sprite,
and getting its final location on mouseUp. Again, no need to run the
risk of the user typing in bad code.

If you are using a behavior you have to append the 'me' keyword:
on mouseWithin me
set the forecolor of sprite 1 to 6
END mouseWithin
