I downloaded a flash player that has changeable settings. I am trying to change the color of the playlist. Problem is...it's using hex's I have never seen before. The existing hex is 0xdadada (for example, the style of hex) and when I tried to change it to #E1E1E1,which is normally a lighter grey, it came out all black.
Does anyone know of a chart or site that translates Oxdadada style hexs to the #E1E1E1 style hex?
Thank you in advance
They are the same thing, except for one starting with 0x and the other starting with #.
Instead of entering #E1E1E1 just enter 0xE1E1E1.
Chances are that the software was looking for a value starting with 0x, and when it saw yours starting with # it defaulted to a numeric value of zero, which of course would be shown as black.
Perhaps it expects a color string starting with 0x. Did you try just 0xe1e1e1?
Probably is the same, but try to keep the same formatting.
However it's possible that the format may be reversed. For instance the HTML format #RRGGBB may need to be translated to 0xBBGGRR, but that will depend on the specifics of the software implementation.
Those should be the same. 0xE1E1E1 and #E1E1E1 mean the same thing. The difference is that in a Flash/Flex stylesheet you need to use the # prefix or your colors won't show up, while elsewhere you are encouraged to use 0x.
0x prefix, by the way, signals a numerical value, and the hexadecimal value for style colors is a uint data type.
