I can't say whether it's right or not, but here's what the color parser in the engine code (in uidc.cpp) does: check for a number if that fails, check against the colornames return boolean for the colornames check else check for a second number (g value) if only one number dissect the first number into rgb components else (we have r&b values) <g> get a third number (g value) if only two numbers, return False parse the rgb values into a color variable return True so 4th through nth numbers will just be ignored. -- Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
