foreColor

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
spriteObjRef.foreColor

// JavaScript syntax
spriteObjRef.foreColor;

Description

Sprite property; returns or sets the foreground color of a sprite. Read/write.

It is not recommended to apply this property to bitmap cast members deeper than 1-bit, as the results are difficult to predict.

It is recommended that the newer color property be used instead of the foreColor property.

Example

The following statement sets the variable oldColor to the foreground color of sprite 5:

-- Lingo syntax
oldColor = sprite(5).foreColor

// JavaScript syntax
var oldColor = sprite(5).foreColor;

The following statement makes 36 the number for the foreground color of a random sprite from sprites 11 to 13:

-- Lingo syntax
sprite(10 + random(3)).foreColor = 36

// JavaScript syntax
sprite(10 + random(3)).foreColor = 36;
