color conversion object to uint

Hi,

I am trying to set selectedColor of the colorPicker component to the color of a TextFormat. colorPicker.selectedColor is of type uint and TextFormat.color of type object. I looked around and found this function:

Code:

---

function fixColorCode( color:Object, hasAlpha:Boolean = false ):uint
{
        if( color is String ){
                var pattern:RegExp = /#/;
                color = uint( color.toString().replace( pattern,"0x" ) );
        }else if( !( color is Number ) ){
                color = Number( color );
        }

        var max:Number = ( hasAlpha ) ? 0xFFFFFFFF : 0xFFFFFF;
        return uint( Math.min( Math.max( color, 0 ), max ) );
}

---

The last line returns the following error: "1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Number."

Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks!

Code:

---

function fixColorCode( color:Object, hasAlpha:Boolean = false ):uint {
        if (color is String) {
                var pattern:RegExp=/#/;
                color=uint(color.toString().replace(pattern,"0x"));
        } else if ( !( color is uint ) ) {
                color=uint(color);
        }

        var max:uint = ( hasAlpha ) ? 0xFFFFFFFF : 0xFFFFFF;
        return uint( Math.min( Math.max( color as uint, 0 ), max ) );
}

Thanks, Works well now!
