property

Summary

Specifies which entry in the color table is used for the background color when an object, or text in an object, is highlighted.

Description

Use the hilitePixel property to change the highlight color of an object when the bit depth of the screen is 8 bits (256 colors) or less.

The hilitePixel property specifies which entry in the color table is used for an object's highlight color. It is similar to the hiliteColor property, but is specified as an entry in the current color table, rather than as a color reference.

The color table can be set by changing the colorMap property.
