i would like to make the lil swirly thingy at the right side of my banner a random color onLoad. so basically each time the movie (not the frame) loads the thingy will change color. i would like to be able to specify a list (albeit a long one) of colors but i would like to exclude some so that i dont end up with something really cool like pink 😛

i was thinking an array? or something like that. if anyone could help … please post an example 🙂

thx
