PixelGetColor newb question (not in FAQ)

[satanikut]

I'm new in AutoIt therefore this is for sure an easy question:

I cannot give Autoit the relative coordinates of my window because it

refers always to the absolute ones. For example:

AutoItSetOption("PixelCoordMode",0) ;relative coords to the defined window
WinActivate("DoubleRainbow Mozilla Firefox")
$register=PixelGetColor(616,556)
Exit $register

...doesn't return the relative 616,556 pixel color of the browser's window "DoubleRainbow", but

the p. color of the window that is in the coords 616,556 of the desktop.

Help a newb please

Look at the command AutoItSetOption

specially the setting in that command: "PixelCoordMode"

I tried PixelCoordMode 0, 1 and 2 but autoit always return the same color even if

it's changed, I'm blocked here

ps. It's a flash application in a Firefox window

Ok it's not a problem of absolute/relative coords, but the point is that PixelGetColor

return always the same color in a flash window...

no it doesn't, see for yourself

While 1
    Sleep(20)
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    ToolTip(PixelGetColor($pos[0]+1,$pos[1]+1),$pos[0]+10,$pos[1]+10)
WEnd

You are right, it returns the correct color

You are right, it returns the correct color

you can add the coords to that tooltip too, so you know what reference you need to give it to see the color
