Bars with random color

programming flash

Hey,

I am trying to sort out what is not working in my code that places bars across the screen with a random mix of pre-defined colors.

any help?



//pre-defined array to grab colors from
var myColors:Array = new Array();
myColors[0] = "0xec5b07";
myColors[1] = "0xd1c700";
myColors[2] = "0x3f93b3";
myColors[3] = "0xaf004e";


var i:Number = 0;




for (i=1; i <= 10; ++i) {
    
    trace("myColors.length "+myColors.length);
    trace("i is "+i);
    trace("color is "+myColors*);
    

//just placing creating empty MCs   
var containerMC:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());

    //assigning each new MC with a color from the array
    this["container_mc" + i].colorTo(myColors[random(4)]);

    //giving each new MC some shape so you can see the color
    this["container_mc" + i]._width = 10
    this["container_mc" + i]._height = 50
    
    //moving each new MC over a bit to the right
    this["container_mc" + i]._x = this["container_mc" + i]._x + this["container_mc" + (i-1)]._x;



}
