Hi Guys,

Checked out the kirupa easy random color code, but is it possible to call random values from an array of colors?

these examples don’t seem to be working… please help 🙂

```auto
var colorArray:Array = new Array("0xFFFF33", "0xFFFFFF", "0x79DCF4", "0xFF3333", "0xFFCC33", "0x99CC33");

function blockRoll(){

myColor = Math.round( Math.random()*colorArray.length );
myColoredObject = new Color (this);
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);
};

blockRoll();

```

or even

```auto
var colorArray:Array = new Array("0xFFFF33", "0xFFFFFF", "0x79DCF4", "0xFF3333", "0xFFCC33", "0x99CC33");

function blockRoll(){
this.setRGB(colorArray[Math.round(math.random*6+1)]);
};

blockRoll();

```
