Courses Plus Student 7,765 PointsOpen Main.Storyboard Then Select the main View & then connect it to your ViewController by control + clicking & dragging it (Similar to how we connect Labels & Buttons)
@IBOutlet var superView: UIView!
And then where you want to change the color write the line like this:
superView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255/255.0, green: 255/255.0, blue: 255/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
This will solve your problem.

24,757 PointsHave you tried placing the banner funcs before the IBAction?
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
self.bannerView?.hidden = false
}
func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
return willLeave
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
self.bannerView?.hidden = true
}
}
@IBAction func showFunFact() {
var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor
self.view.backgroundColor = randomColor
funFactLabel.text = factBook.randomFact()
}
