random color 2

[intro66]

what would be the syntax for setting color to random?

i currently have it set to ONE color

myColor = new Color (_root.text1);
myColor.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);

This will change the colour of a clip to random values between #000000 and #ffffff every second (converted to base 10 rather than hex so it's easier to generate the random number), all you need is a clip on the stage with instance name 'myClip'...

function doRandomColour(clip) {
myColor = new Color(clip);
var colourCode = Math.round(Math.random()*16777216);
myColor.setRGB(colourCode);
}
//
setInterval(doRandomColour, 1000, myClip);
//
stop();

or for one change...timeline code

new Color(myclip).setRGB(random(1<<24));


or like wangbars for many changes...code on clip

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
(new Color(this)).setRGB(random(1<<24));
}
