Line three above sets the color, not line four.  And, the example
below, works for me
without problem!  Thus,

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.flash filename="01.swf" bbox=300x200 version=10 fps=60 compress
    .font tahoma "fonts/tahoma.ttf"
    .edittext edata font=tahoma size=10pt width=100 height=50
color=green text="Do I look
               Green?" variable=etext

.action:
       colStr="0xff0000";
       myColor= new Color(edata);
       myColor.setRGB(colStr);
.end
.put edata x=20 y=30
.end

If upu have no joy, then why not post the whole script section (
within reason )?

As far as I am aware ( from my investigations ), it doesn't need it.
See above,
