beginFill method using specified colors!

Hei!

When i use:


beginFill(Math.random()*0xffffff, 100)

i get color picked randomly. But mostly they appear to be quite… ugly, if to be straighforward. How can i use random specified colors? Let’s say I set the calues like example below:


col1 = 0x99cc00
col2 = 0xff6600

And it randomly picks one color of specified ones…

var colors:Array = [0xffffff, 0x000000, 0xf0f0f0, 0x0f0f0f];
beginFill(int(Math.random() * a.length), 100);

You can use more complicated AS if you don’t want to colors to repeat immediately.

where the “a.length” comes from?

That code sample looks a little incomplete. Here is a completed example:

var colors:Array = [0xffffff, 0x000000, 0xf0f0f0, 0x0f0f0f];
var randomColorIndex:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length);
var randomColor:Number = colors[randomColorIndex];
beginFill(randomColor, 100);

Oops, sorry about the incomplete code. I originally had named ‘colors’ ‘a’, and I guess I just forgot about the array access or something. :trout:

Thank You! I got it now (:
