[Solved] Convert "rgb(0,64,255)" to use it as a variable

Hi,

I have a string coming from a server I want to use as an expression :

[TEXT] Set font color to : "rgb(0,64,255)"

The problem is C2 refuse my string, asking me a number. I could'nt find answser in the actual posts (found answers with string concatenation but it is still a string).

Is there something like eval("rgb(0,64,255)") ?

Thanks.

The problem is because you're trying to send an expression as a string - you should just send the numbers.

[TEXT] Set font color to : rgb(servervalue1, servervalue2, servervalue3)

Or store the result of rgb(0,64,255) (you can check it at runtime) to the server and retrieve that instead.

Ok I see. I will go on the second option (result of color), but cant see it at runtime. I have the free version of C2, in the debug panel color does not appear. Or do I have to look elsewhere ?

Thanks

EDIT : found this topic, diggin it scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php

PS : coming from AS and PHP, the "eval()" function is useful although it is sometimes a bad practice, perhaps that's why C2 doesn't provide it ^^

C2 does provide JS execution in the Browser object, but you certainly should not use it in this case.

I found the color formula here : scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php and submitted it in the "How do I..." page (where I looked first ^^).

Can you give an example of JS execution in the browser ? (just for information).

Thanks

Amazing community and software

Here's an example why it is useful to know the color formula (where wsColor is a number value) :
