Hex Converter

[Nukoi]

Hey fellas. This is something from a long long time ago that I wrote and I could never figure out why it wouldnt work. It converts RGB decimal values(0-255) into hex(00-FF).. Well its supposed to anyways. =) The problem is that if I get to what should be "A0" in hex, it goes to "100" .. I can turn the right digit to hex but it won't let me change the left. Anyways here is the script.. I realize it isnt a terribly efficient way to do this but I was a newbie at the time =).


val = Math.round((slider._x-8)/16);
if (sliderval<_parent.a) {
val2 = new String(val);
} else {
if (val==_parent.a) {
val2 = new String(&quot;a&quot;
} else if (val==_parent.b) {
val2 = new String(&quot;b&quot;
} else if (val==_parent.c) {
val2 = new String(&quot;c&quot;
} else if (val==_parent.d) {
val2 = new String(&quot;d&quot;
} else if (val==_parent.e) {
val2 = new String(&quot;e&quot;
} else if (val==_parent.f) {
val2 = new String(&quot;f&quot;
}
}
val3 = Math.round(slider._x)%16;
if (val3<_parent.a) {
val4 = new String(val3);
} else {
if (val3==_parent.a) {
val4 = new String(&quot;a&quot;
} else if (val3==_parent.b) {
val4 = new String(&quot;b&quot;
} else if (val3==_parent.c) {
val4 = new String(&quot;c&quot;
} else if (val3==_parent.d) {
val4 = new String(&quot;d&quot;
} else if (val3==_parent.e) {
val4 = new String(&quot;e&quot;
} else if (val3==_parent.f) {
val4 = new String(&quot;f&quot;
}
}
final = new String(val2+val4);

Thanks in advance guys (and girls)

hi Nukoi

Can I offer something much simpler?

The function which converts decimal to hex is in the first frame of the main timeline. The action which calls the function is on the mc containing the slider button.
