Assuming that letterp is a movie clip with the instance name letterp - add the following code to frame 10 (where you put in the hexcodes for the four colors you want to use in place of 0xRRGGBB):
[AS]colorArray = new Array(“0xRRGGBB”,“0xRRGGBB”,“0xRRGGBB”,“0xRRGGBB”);
myColor = new Color(letterp);
myColor.setRGB(colorArray[Math.floor(Math.random()\*colorArray.length)]);[/AS]
Then on frame 15 to switch it back to its original color add this code (where you put in the hexcode for the original color):
[AS]myColor.setRGB(0xRRGGBB);[/AS]
Hope this helps.
