I am crating a roulette wheel dynamically. It has one movie clip for the numbers around the edge which it duplicates and positions correctly. My problem is that ever other number has a black background on it (on a real roulette wheel)

Is there a to distinguish between an odd number and an even number

Eg  
[SIZE=3][AS]  
if (i = odd )  
{  
number\_background = red  
}  
if (i = even )  
{  
number\_background = black  
}  
[/AS][/SIZE]

or something to that effect

Any help would be greatly appreciatedda:crazy:
