[Extendflash] Exploring XMLUI's colorchip in Flash 8

[Dave Wolfe]

This is a bug in Flash 8, it works in 7.2.  I reported it a while ago 
with no response from Macromedia/Adobe. I got around it in my extension 
by adding a default color variable to use if the xml panel returns "". 

var defClr = "#0066FF";
if (result.color == "")
{
    clr = defClr;
}
else
{
    clr = result.color;
}
