Color Tracking to LCD

AidenRocker18's icon

I'm trying to create a patch that will use the color tracker to pick a color and be able to transfer that into the lcd object and change the color of the pen. But everything I've tried has failed.

I'm leaning towards the idea that somehow altering the frgb for the LCD will be the way to go but I don't know how to make it so that frgb can be changed frequently.

Any suggestions?

Have a look at the "frgb" message, it takes three arguments: and values. Here's an example that changes colours at random.

I've actually looked at that but what I want to do is being able to change the arguments of frgb by picking a color on the jit.qt.movie object but I can't find a way to do that. (the prepend object seems to not want to identify frgb.) It works for the brgb, but nothing else

I am not sure I understand what the problem is. This quick hack seems to be working just fine...
