Hello. I have a question regarding the dynamic coloring of movieclips. I want to be able to specify a limited number of binhex values, and have those colors applied randomly to a movieclip.

I made a little diagram to show what I mean:

The original clip will be in simple black and white . . . but I’m looking for a way to apply those binhex values to the duplicated clips’ color areas in random arrangements.

I can’t seem to find any specific information on this anywhere. Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much!
