Is it possible to color in white a textured mesh ?

EntityColor e,255,255,255

Not if it's textured, no. The entity color only tints the textured appearance, so the texture will always show. You can remove a texture from an entity by creating a blank texture and applying that to the entity, like so:

blank=CreateTexture(1,1)
EntityTexture c,blank

This does it but then the textures have gone for good, I think:

brush = CreateBrush(255,255,255)
PaintMesh mesh,brush

thx it works.

Below a white flash FX:

Global ENEMY_NOT_COLORED = GetEntityBrush(e)
Global ENEMY_COLORED     = LoadAnimTexture( "gradient_white_2_black.png",1,1,1,0,5 )
TextureBlend ENEMY_COLORED,3

For frame=0 to 4
	EntityTexture e,ENEMY_COLORED,frame,1
next
PaintEntity e,ENEMY_NOT_COLORED
