mousecolor in LC 7.1.1 (rc3)

Hi all -
I'd be grateful for any suggestions:
this line:
Code: Select all
set the coloroverlay["color"] of image ("layer1") to the mousecolor
works fine on MacOS. But crashes the simulator on iOS.
however, if I do this:
Code: Select all
set the coloroverlay["color"] of image ("layer1") to "0,122,122"
everything works fine on both Mac and iOS. But I really need the mousecolor function. Is it broken in LC 7.1.1 (rc3) or am I missing something?
Thanks so much.
Joel

Was this ever working in any earlier version? It's almost a philosophical question: what is the mousecolor on a system that has no mouse?
I would expect it should always return empty on iOS and Android, or perhaps and error message. It shouldn't crash, though, so I'd recommend submitting a bug report for that:

Yeah, I used to use mousecolor (pre 7.1.1) on iOS to get the color of the pixel the user tapped on. It was quite handy.
Now, when I try to use mousecolor on the iOS simulator, the app just crashes.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

A scripting engine should never crash. I would suggest filing a bug report. Before you do it may be helpful to double-check this in the latest v8.0 build just to make sure it hasn't already been addressed.
