FunFact App: Unable to change background colour when using iAd.

When adding iAd's to the randomFacts app it causes the background colour unable to change when pressing the button. The facts still randomly display but the colour doesn't change.

Something about this 

     self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
     self.adBannerView!.delegate = self
     self.adBannerView?.hidden = true

makes this not work: 

  @IBAction func tapRandomQuote(sender: AnyObject) {
      var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
      view.backgroundColor = randomColor
   }

I know I am not the only persona having this issues, but does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening ?

Here is the full code;

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
    self.adBannerView!.delegate = self
    self.adBannerView?.hidden = true

    }

@IBAction func tapRandomQuote(sender: AnyObject) {
    var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
    view.backgroundColor = randomColor
}

    func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    self.adBannerView!.hidden = false
   }

func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner:   ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool     {
    return true
}


}

It's ok thanks for replying (Y) I managed to find the answer.

Needed to change "view.backgroundcolor" to "originalContentView.backgroundcolor"
