Convert XML string to uint hexadecimal color

[maguskrool]

Hello. I have an xml file containing color values to be applied in a series of shapes in my swf. However, when I try to assign the values, it doesn't work, it recognizes only a string and assigns the value 0 to the colors.

my_color.xml

<color_list>
  <color_1>0xFFBB00</color_1>
  ...
  <color_n>0xAA33FF</color_n>
</color_list>

The xml is then parsed into a variable called xmlColor.

.fla

var c1:uint = xmlColor.color_1;
trace (xmlColor.color_1) //0xFFBB00
trace (c1)               //0

I store my hex values in xml as just the hex, eg ff00ff and then say
var c1 = Number("0x" + xmlColour.colour_1);
or somesuch, and that turns out ok as the hex representation for working in flash and setting colours
