There are so many ways to do this, but if you literally mean that
it's a 50 x 50 area of solid colors that need to change, an easy and
fun way would be to use setpixel on a 50x50 pixel bitmap. You then
place the bitmap onto the stage and scale it up somewhat.
Here, I went ahead and made a movie:
http://staging.funnygarbage.com/colin/colorgrid.dir
The one and only sprite is 400 x 400, with source bitmap of 50 x 50.
The script on the sprite is this:
on mouseUp
s = the currentspritenum
m = the member of sprite s
x = (the loch of the clickloc - the left of sprite s)/8
y = (the locv of the clickloc - the top of sprite s)/8
setpixel member(m),x,y,random(256)-1
end
The movie is a D7 one.
