Description
Cast member property; sets the foreground color of a field cast member.
For a movie that plays back as an applet, specify colors for the foreColor
sprite property as the decimal equivalent of the 24-bit hexadecimal values used in an HTML document.
It is not recommended to apply this property to bitmap cast members deeper than 1-bit, as the results are difficult to predict.
To see an example of foreColor
used in a completed movie, see the Text movie in the Learning\Lingo Examples folder inside the Director application folder.
Example
The hexadecimal value for pure red, FF0000, is equivalent to 16711680 in decimal numbers. This statement specifies pure red as a cast member's forecolor:
member(20).foreColor = 16711680
Example
This statement changes the color of the field in cast member 1 to the color in palette entry 250:
member(1).foreColor = 250
Example
The following statement sets the variable oldColor
to the foreground color of sprite 5:
oldColor = sprite(5).foreColor
Example
The following statement makes 36 the number for the foreground color of a random sprite from sprites 11 to 13.
sprite(10 + random(3)).foreColor = 36
Example
The following statement sets the foreColor
of word 3 of line 2 of text member myDescription to a value of 27:
member("myDescription").line[2].word[3].forecolor = 27
