It is not recommended to apply this property to bitmap cast members deeper than 1-bit, as the
results are difficult to predict.
It is recommended that the newer
color property be used instead of the foreColor property.
Examples
The hexadecimal value for pure red, FF0000, is equivalent to 16711680 in decimal numbers.
This statement specifies pure red as a cast member’s forecolor:
member(20).foreColor = 16711680
This statement changes the color of the field in cast member 1 to the color in palette entry 250:
member(1).foreColor = 250
The following statement sets the variable oldColor to the foreground color of sprite 5:
oldColor = sprite(5).foreColor
The following statement makes 36 the number for the foreground color of a random sprite from
sprites 11 to 13:
sprite(10 + random(3)).foreColor = 36
The following statement sets the foreColor of word 3 of line 2 of text member myDescription to
a value of 27:
member("myDescription").line[2].word[3].forecolor = 27
