Suzanne,

I think what you are looking for is the "answer color" command.

Try this:

Create a text field, add some text to it and lock the field.

Put this code in the text field script:

on mouseup
  put the clickchunk into usertext
  answer color
  put it into chosencolor
  set the textcolor of usertext to chosencolor
end mouseup

Does this do what you're trying to do?

Regards,

Howard Bornstein
