I am just getting started with learning scripting for CC software. I have been reading the documentation and have managed to change the fill colour with:
var colfil = new RGBColor();
colfil.red = 100;
colfil.green = 255;
colfil.blue = 100;
app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = colfil
While this is really cool and all. How can I just pass the hex code equivalent of the above:
app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = "64FF64"
I am relying on another tool to provide me with a colour and it only outputs a hex code, I simply want to pass this Hex colour to illustrator.
I am really not advanced at all, so please pardon me if the obvious eludes me. Is there a way to use Hex codes here?
Something like this?
function get_rgb_color(hex) {
var color = new RGBColor();
color.red = parseInt(hex.slice(0,2),16);
color.green = parseInt(hex.slice(2,4),16);
color.blue = parseInt(hex.slice(4,6),16);
return color;
}
app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = get_rgb_color("64FF64");
