simple color change code doesn't work.

5 New Member
i'm using AS3....i'm trying to change the color of a movie clip after i select a color from the color picker component. when i uncomment the two added lines i get errors. am i just really bad at syntax? i have no idea. this is the ONLY code in the file....i'm close to a deadline on this and i'm at a wall. if someone could guide me i'd REALLY appreciate any help i can get.

i uploaded the flash file here just in case:
http://www.zshare.net/download/929868106ef550/

the code is as follows:

import fl.events.Color PickerEvent;

var tempColor = "0x003366";
var aBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
drawBox(aBox, 0xFF0000); //draw a red box
addChild(aBox);



aCp.addEventLis tener(ColorPick erEvent.CHANGE, changeHandler);

function changeHandler(e vent:ColorPicke rEvent):void {
drawBox(aBox, event.target.se lectedColor);
tempColor = aCp.selectedCol or.toString();
trace("- " + aCp.selectedCol or);
trace("+ ", event.target.he xValue);
//testXc = new Color(_root.tes tX);
//testX.setRGB("0 x" + event.target.he xValue);
}

function drawBox(box:Mov ieClip,color:ui nt):void {
box.graphics.be ginFill(color, 1);
box.graphics.dr awRect(0,0,50,5 0);
box.graphics.en dFill();
}

In the process of learning about some deeper details of Python I am curious if it is possible to write a 'prefix' code assigning to a and b something special, so, that Python gets trapped in an endless loop in a line with: if a==b: print 'OK' I mean, it would be of much help to me on my way to understanding Python to know how such prefix code leading to an endless loop can look like and if it is eventually not possible to write such...

Hi, I am struggling to understand how to really appreciate object orientation. I guess these are FAQ's but I have not been able to find the answers. Maybe my problem is that my style and understanding are influenced by matlab and fortran.

Hi, a newbie here. I don't have a real firm grasp on the idea of Javascript, as I'm used to programming in Qbasic and C. I'm not used to OOP. Anyway, I really don't have any idea what the problem is with this code, it just simply won't work properly. Some of the functions aren't done, but the main one gives me a Not a Number message in the text box where the calculations are supposed to come up. I tried to use a parseInt on my stuff,...

Hi, I previously asked for suggestions on teaching testing in C++. Based on some of the replies I received I decided that best way to proceed would be to teach the students how they might write their own unit test framework, and then in a lab session see if I can get them to write their own. To give them an example I've created the following UTF class (with a simple test program following). I would welcome and suggestions on how anybody...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
