Colour picker

[Ghoulfool]

I accidentally asked this question in the wrong forum.

So is it possible to call the colorpicker from CS2 using JavaScript or let the user pick a colour mid script, as it were?

However most answers require CS5 and above.

Not sure if this will work, but worth a try.

Should change the background colour to the selected one.

var colour = new SolidColor();
colour.rgb.hexValue = getHexColor();
app.backgroundColor = colour;

function getHexColor(){ 
   var result = $.colorPicker( -1 ).toString(16); 
   if (result != -1){ 
      result = '00000'.substring( 0, 6 - result.length ) + result; 
   } 
   return result; 
};

Here is a hand coded color selector that should work with CS2:

http://ps-scripts.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ps-scripts/xtools/xlib/ColorChooser.jsx

It's based on a script by Larry Ligon. There are some other color-related scripts in that folder that you might find useful (or baffling).
