User Inputs for Colors...

[Doji3333]

I'm a little stumped at the moment... I saw an example of this a while back, but can't find it now. I'm trying to setup a color setting in the inputs. Jason suggested using eval() and gave an example of it in one post, but his example returns 0 (zero) - which is not a valid color.

How do I take a string ("black") and convert it to a color object "Color.black"??

I have tried joining two strings ("Color."+ncolor)

I have tried eval("Color."+ncolor) - which returns 0

I have tried eval(new String("Color."+ncolor)) - which returned a string (same as the first attempt).

The resulting error is...

Parameter Number 1 of Function setPriceBarColor is invalid.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Brad,

var sColor = "black";

setPriceBarColor( eval("Color." + sColor) );

This is working on my end. Please post your code snippet that's not working for you.

Nevermind...

I must have been doing something wrong, because it is now working.. Thanks Jason...

What I did is... created global variables for all color conditions within the user inputs..

cDefBullColor = eval("Color." + DefBullColor) ;
cDefBearColor = eval("Color." + DefBearColor) ;
cDefVoidColor = eval("Color." + DefVoidColor) ;

These are setup on an initial load/reload of the efs. Then I can just call the color variables anywhere I need to access the colors..

All I can think of is I must have lost the scope of my variables...

Thanks again.
