hello!
so, i've been racking my brain all day for this and decided to ask the experts.
it's very easy to change color mid-program using various means, but what i wanted to know if there's a way to type in the $color:32 color name constants mid program and actually use them, e.g. someone typing in the colour they want?
nothing i tried was working—i could only input it in a variable as a string, but the string can't be translated into a handle or an integer thats equivalent to the colour and used for Color and Color won't accept strings and—ugh, i was a mess this afternoon
i'm not familiar with the complexities, but i know just enough to worry it might not be possible without having to create palettes or references or subs or something to translate the name as a roundabout, not actually using the constant.
anyway, please let me know if there's something glaring i'm missing (or if it's obviously impossible!)
