The conclusion: It is possible to evaluate a Materials Color or custom
Channel
and put it out for use on an object, but with less bugs,
it'll be much more fun.
BE WARNED:
Do never animate a field evaluator,
you'll get maybe a crash, or a "computing...... till the end of time".

OK, I tried your tests, it all seems to work, thanks!
About the field evaluator, quote from the reference manual:
"Velocity, Spin, Acceleration and Angular Acceleration show the respective
physical properties of the Field Evaluator object during animation playback.
In addition, you can use them to enter key values when key framing objects
which have been parametrized with the field evaluator attributes."
Isn't its main purpose in animation? Or can we insert the field evaluator
into a level which is animated (keyframe or simulated) without animating it
directly. I got the impression that it can also measure Velocity etc of the
level it is in?? This deserves better explanation and a few examples... and
apparently some debugging ;)
BTW I got a book on Javascript, I just can't stand watching by the sideline
how these script wizards perform their magic!
cheers,
