changing text foreColor through Lingo

[Jason Hunter]

Ideally using a "on mouseOver me" command.

This is what I've got so far with no results:

on mouseOver me
sprite(5).forecolor = #FFFFFF
end

What am I missing? Thanks

Hi Jason,

If this is a text member's sprite then:

on mouseEnter me
sprite(5).member.foreColor = #FFFFFF
end

if this is a field member's sprite then:

on mouseEnter me
the foreColor of the member of sprite 5 = #FFFFFF
end

FIrst, there is no built in mouseOver function. So if you are in fact
trying to use a function called mouseOver, you'll need to define it.

Each sprite carries a foreColor and a backColor property. These
properties hold values based on the current color depth of the frame in
use. Text and field members also use foreColor and backColor
properties. These member properties are used to set the color for the
text and the background of that member. While each charactor in a field
or text member may have a unique foreColor, the whole member can have
only one backColor.
