how can I make a smooth transition between random colors?  
so far I have this done:

this is on the frame action:

myColor= new Color (\_root.box);  
\_root.b1.onRelease = function(){  
myColor.setRGB(\_global.rndColor)  
}

and this is in a movie clip which is off stage, generating a random  
value:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_global.rndColor=Math.round(Math.random()\*0xffffff);

}

There is a nice one in the tutorials, but I’m not able to use it for some reason. Maybe because it is not for MX 2004.

can anybody help?
