It is alwasy a better idea to post whole scripts/working examples (even if
working actaully means non-working). And this
is an example why: Using your old code, things worked. But inside a function,
colorIndex isn't in the scope. You could
e.g. use a global-statement like this:
colorIndex = 0
def foo():
global colorIndex
colorIndex += 1
foo()
But that is not a very bright idea usually, as globals are difficult to debug.
