Hi!

I was doing something similar earlier,
here's a script that parses a string of 1's and 0's,
and colors selected objects with black/white according to the bits

With parseInt there's max limit of 32 bits ...
so you might have to make a helper function to split
your data in chunks

But i'm no "coder" :) so maybe somebody could
have a better method for this

the bit_test method is there, so you could use
decimal number as the source data/variable as well

////////////////////////

var sel = document.selectedItems;
var bin = parseInt('01110100011010000110111101110101', 2);

//bit test helper function

function bit_test(num,bit){
return ((num>>bit) % 2 != 0)
}

//go through selected items, set fillcolor according to bit state

for(i=0;i<sel.length;i++)
{

if(bit_test(bin,i)==true)
{
sel[i].fillColor = '#FFFFFF';
}

if(bit_test(bin,i)==false)
{
sel[i].fillColor = '#000000';
}

}

Ancient topic, but in case someone searches the forum of a dying piece of software for this same question, here's an easy pseudocode:
* Save the starting data as a string, not a number.
* Then, in a for loop, pull off a character at a time with charAt().
* After that, and still within the for loop, run either the '0' logic or the '1' logic.

Be careful that you watch your variable types, however. A '1' character from a string is not exactly a boolean true nor an integer 1, but it might act like it.
