Displaying random colour in director

Question

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. Basically I’m
creating a game which consists of empty squares on the screen that
the user fills in with colours, this would be done by the user
pressing different keys, for example if ‘A’ was pressed
the program would identify the key that was pressed and also
identify the colour that is has been allocated ‘RED’
for instance, then it would randomly select an empty square and
fill it with the colour red.
The following code randomly selects a square from a global
list and eliminates it from the list once it has been selected, so
that the program does not select the same square again, as well as
check if any squares are empty.
However I have a problem in terms of getting the program to
fill the selected square with a colour, I have tried everything but
seem to get nowhere
. Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance
on keydown
global gList
vMax = gList.count
if not vMax then
exit
end if
vIndex = random(vMax)
vSquare = gList[vIndex>
gList.deleteAt(vIndex)
if the keypressed="A" then vColour = rgb(255,0,0)and
vColour=vSquare
else
if the keypressed="B" then vColour = rgb(255,128,0)and
vColour=vSquare
end if
end if
end keyDown

Thanks for the tip
I really appreciate it, I had to tweak my code a bit
but it works now
heehee. However I had another question, don't know if
you can help with this again or anyone else at all, is it possible
for me to define a range from which the colour can be chosen, for
example rgb (255,255.255) to rgb(200,200,200)??....as I’m not
sure if Director recognises the colours in-between the two sets I
have specified i.e: rgb(225,225,225)?
