i want to retrieve the ambient and the specular colors of a material but i don't know how ...
i've got a BaseMaterial and a BaseChannel (by calling BaseMaterial::GetChannel(CHANNEL_COLOR or CHANNEL_SPECULARCOLOR)) but in the description for the member function BaseChannel::GetData there aren't any color values

thanks in advance for your help!

These are now stored in MATERIAL_COLOR_COLOR and MATERIAL_SPECULAR_COLOR in the material description. (See Mmaterial.)

    
    
    GeData coldata;  
    mat->GetParameter(DescID(MATERIAL_SPECULAR_COLOR), coldata, 0);  
    Vector col = coldata.GetVector();
