back to base color

hi there,

I have some javascript from http://www.dynamicdrive.com to do the neonlight text effect. Originally it's non-stop effect, but I changed it to just flash once. But the problem now is the last four letters will stay as the neontext color. How to change the color of last letters back to basecolor after the effect?

thanks very much!
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

var message="my message goes here blah blah blah"
var neonbasecolor="#C6AEC7"
var neontextcolor="#FDD017"
var neontextcolor2="#D4A017"
var flashspeed=100 // speed of flashing in milliseconds
var flashingletters=4 // number of letters flashing in neontextcolor
var flashingletters2=1 // number of letters flashing in neontextcolor2 (0 to disable)
var flashpause=200 // the pause between flash-cycles in milliseconds
///No need to edit below this line/////

var n=0
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
document.write('<font color="'+neonbasecolor+'">')
for (m=0;m<message.length;m++)
document.write('<span id="neonlight'+m+'">'+message.charAt(m)+'</span>')
document.write('</font>')
}
else
document.write(message)

function crossref(number){
var crossobj=document.all? eval("document.all.neonlight"+number) : document.getElementById("neonlight"+number)
return crossobj
}

function neon(){

//Change all letters to base color
if (n==0){
for (m=0;m<message.length;m++)
crossref(m).style.color=neonbasecolor
}

//cycle through and change individual letters to neon color
crossref(n).style.color=neontextcolor

if (n>flashingletters-1) crossref(n-flashingletters).style.color=neontextcolor2
if (n>(flashingletters+flashingletters2)-1) crossref(n-flashingletters-flashingletters2).style.color=neonbasecolor


if (n<message.length-1)
n++
else{
n=0
clearInterval(flashing)
return
}
}


function beginneon(){
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
flashing=setInterval("neon()",flashspeed)
}

beginneon()
</script>

Hi!
How about:

var endcolor = "#ff0000";

function callMeAtEnd () {
var m = 0;
for (m=0;m<message.length;m++)
document.getElementById('neonlight'+m).style.color = endcolor;
}

Greetings

thanks DH2006

i tried your method, but didn't work.

i also tried:beginneon()

var endcolor = "red";
function callMeAtEnd () {
document.getElementById(message).style.color = endcolor;
}
callMeAtEnd()

the text color didn't change to red.

any suggestions please
