Thanks for the example. A very simple way to convert a string color to uint.

Hi,

is there any way to set the selectedColor-property from a value fed in from an XML (=HTTPservice)? Tried with this,

and

but this just keeps me giving an error.

Thanks for your help!

Here are a few more methods:

/* Convert r/g/b values (255,0,255) to a fixed string ('FF00FF'). */
private function rgbToStr(r:int, g:int, b:int):String {
    return fixedInt(rgbToInt(r, g, b), "000000");
}

/* Convert a string ('0xFF00FF') to an integer (16711935). */
private function strToInt(value:String):int {
    return int(value);
}

/* Convert a string ('0xFF00FF') to an object containing an 'r', 'g', and 'b' property. */
private function strToRGB(value:String):Object {
    var temp:int = strToInt(value);
    return {r:rChannel(temp), g:gChannel(temp), b:bChannel(temp)};
}
