In a class, like so:
public static var ITEM_COLORS:Array = [0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, 0x0000FF,
0xFFFFFF]; // (or whichever colors)
// assuming property "countItem" is the number of items
// and the method "getItem" retrieves an item with a "color" property
private function colorItems():Void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < countItem; ++i) {
getItem(i).color = ITEM_COLORS[i % ITEM_COLORS.length];
}
}
Note that in this scheme the index number starts at 0, not 1. That's a
better practice in general.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Alternate row color (Modulo Operator)
Hi,
I have a question about using Modulo Operator.
I can easily do an Odd / Even using
i%2 !=0
Where i can be any supllied number.
My question is, I have a list of movieclips (arranged one below
another).
I want to use 4 different colours to differentiate them.
So, list items 1, 5, 9, ... will have Color-1.
items 2, 6, 10, ... will have another Color-2.
items 3, 7, 11, ... will have third Colou-3.
items 4, 8, 12, ... will have fourth Color-4.
And so on.... Can someone point me to the right direction as to how I
should use the moludo?
Wether modulo operator is the right way to do this?
Thanks
