Hi there,

I've been searching around on Google and various other places and I'm still struggling so hopefully some helpful soul on here might be able to help.

Bascially I am creating a flash animation that an end user can update. I am loading text via XML, an external images via Actionscript, and the only other thing I need to be able to do is change the background colour of either the text area, or a movie clip using an external file, ie. using either XML, txt file etc..

Has anyone got any advice on how I could achieve this?

Regards,

Bob

I'm pretty sure that you could have an invisible text field drawing from a text file defining the color, and then use a little bit of actionscript to create a certain background color depending on the content of the text file.
