Thanks for the input silentweed! If I were to do that, would I have to create the holder MC?

My goal is to have an array of colors, my array building isn't up to snuff, but say something like:

newArray = colorArray[0xFF0000, 0x000000, 0xFFCCCC, 0xCCCCCC, 0xCCCC00, 0xFFFFFF];

Then I have a little arrow button on the stage below the text field. have something like this on it:

Code:
on (release) {
     for (i, i=0, i>6, +ii){
          my_txt.color = colorArray+i;
          };
}
I know that code and the for loop isn't correct, just putting something there and I don't know arrays and for loops very well yet... but you get the idea.. the user clicks the arrow and the text color cycles through the colors in the array.

Ideas on that one?
