Arrays or Randoms?

Hi, I'm pretty new to GameSalad (and to video games creation), I choose this platform because I'm not a programmer, but I'm still having some problems. I would like to create a kind of game (just as a test) where you have to complete colour arrays by clicking on different actors to get into every new level. That means, in the first level I have to find and click, for example, 1 yellow particle, 2 blue and 3 red ones, to pass the level. This should be ramdonly generated. The problem is that I cannot find any action in the game to generate arrays or ramdomize an action.
Any answer / clue / model to follow building my game? thanks!

With respect, if you're new to GS, try not to jump into the deep end too soon, maybe try out a few of TSB's excellent tutorials ( http://gshelper.com/ ), checkout the Cookbook, http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/38157/gamesalad-reference-unofficial-gs-guide#Item_5 , etc.
But anyway, to your question, arrays are on the cards for a future GSC beta release, called Tables. And random behaviour can be accessed via the expression editor (click the "e" symbol in the Actor Editor Rules section). THere you'll find a list on the right column, one of which is random.
It's in the form of random(min,max) so you put your minimum and maximum values in place there. That's it in a nutshell anyhow.
Best of luck with GSC and do persevere; patience brings rewards!
