textColor (TextField.textColor property)

Indicates the color of the text in a text field. The hexadecimal color system uses six digits to represent color values. Each digit has sixteen possible values or characters. The characters range from 0 to 9 and then A to F. Black is represented by (#000000) and white, at the opposite end of the color system, is (#FFFFFF).

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following ActionScript creates a text field and changes its color property to red.

this.createTextField("my_txt", 99, 10, 10, 100, 300);
my_txt.text = "this will be red text";
my_txt.textColor = 0xFF0000;

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player 7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components' DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
