scrollingList fld color

[Sarah]

Yes, I have that problem too. The solution is to color not a line but a 
number of characters.
Here is the handler I use to get round the problem.

on colorLine lineNum, fldName, colorSpecs
   put the num of chars in line 1 to lineNum of fld fldName into endChar
   put endChar - the num of chars in line lineNum of fld fldName + 1 
into startChar

   set the foregroundColor of char startChar to endChar of fld fldName 
to colorSpecs
end colorLine

Instead of scripting:
	set the foregroundColor of line 4 of fld "My Stuff" to red
put this handler in your stack script or somewhere accessible and use:
	colorLine 4, "My Stuff", "red"

The colorSpecs parameter can be a color name, RGB triplet or hex format.

Cheers,
Sarah
