Good afternoon,

I have a simple task that I would like to accomplish but every online tutorial or code suggestion doesn't work; consequently I figured the Adobe forum was best!

I have a simple .fla file with a circle on the stage. I want to set actionscript to make the circle randomly change colors when playing. I've tried all sorts of script commands using math random but to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to write the script to randomly change the colors of a shape? Thank you so much!

You can use a ColorTransform object to change the color of a display object. Assuming your shape has an instance name of myShape, then something like so should get you started:

var col:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();

col.color = Math.random() * 16777215;

myShape.transform.colorTransform = col;
