stageColor

Syntax

the stageColor

Description

System property; determines the color of the movie background for index color only.

Use bgColor for more accurate, reliable, and flexible stage color specification with RGB values.

The value of the stageColor property ranges from 0 to 255 for 8-bit index color, and from 0 to 15 for 4-bit color. You can click a color in the color palette to see that color's index number in the lower left corner of the window. Setting the stageColor property in a Lingo script is equivalent to choosing the Stage color from the pop-up palette in the panel window.

Note: For compatibility when playing back as a Java applet, use the bgColor property to define the color as an RGB value.

Example

This statement sets the variable oldColor to the index number of the current Stage color:

oldColor = the stageColor

Example

This statement sets the Stage color to the color assigned to chip 249 on the current palette:

the stageColor = 249
