Color code problem

Question

Hello.
I have this code:
colors = [0xFFCC00,
0xFFFF00];
alphas = [100, 100];
ratios = [0, 0xFF];
matrix = {a:100, b:20, c:5, d:100, e:0, f:10, g:100, h:10,
i:5};
beginGradientFill("linear", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
I use it to fill a clip with a gradient color.
I want the second color (in first line) to be taken from a
variable.
I tried:
my_color = "0x"+"FFFFCC";
colors = [0xFFCC00,
my_color];
alphas = [100, 100];
ratios = [0, 0xFF];
matrix = {a:100, b:20, c:5, d:100, e:0, f:10, g:100, h:10,
i:5};
beginGradientFill("linear", colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);
It doesnt work, it doesn't read the variable as a color and
the color it sets is black.
Anyone knows how the color code should be composed so that I
can have that color code taken from a variable?
Thank you.

How does that work for ya?
Hi.
That would normally work as you wrote it but I need the color
to be made from a variable value that doesnt contain the # or 0x.
So I have a value as "FFCC00" and I cannot merge the 0x with
it because it only allows the color code to be added after 0x and
not a variable name.
a_variable="FFCC00"
my_color = "0x" + a_variable
that doesnt work. It only works if I type color code
directley after the 0x as you said 0xFFCC00.
Do I make sense ? :)
