Description

Use the backgroundPixel property to change the background color of an object when the bit depth of the screen is 8 bits (256 colors) or less.

The backgroundPixel property specifies which entry in the colortable is used for an object's background color. It is similar to the backgroundColor property, but is specified as an entry in the current color table, rather than as a color reference.

The color table can be set by changing the colorMap property.
