Why can't I create a color Game Atribute?

I need different actors to access a color attribute, but the only way I know would be the attribute to be a Game Atribute. But Game Atributes can only be number, boolean, list or text...

Maybe I can use any of these Game Atributes as a color?

You can store anything you want inside of a list, so try storing the colors as different elements in a game attribute list and then retrieve those colors when you need them.

I'm pretty sure colors are just hexidecimal numbers internally, maybe store it as a number and convert it back to a color with a code block somewhere?

I've never used a code block before, could I see an example?

Thanks!

You could also store it as a text value and use an "If [color] = Red (text) Set color to Red".  This would obviously have to be put under a "When Drawing" block, but if you only needed one color, you could use that method.  If you needed to store lots of colors, I would use a list and follow a similar method.

Found under Flow > Advanced:

It just passes whatever the contents of that block are without any change. You'd have to look up some information on how colors are stored - either in the Flash API or Haxe API depending on 2.x or 3.0.

Thanks guys! I'll try which of both methods is the best for my reduced programming skills.
