Can anyone answer this for me?

How do you wire a 5mm RGB common anode led so that just the red and the blue are on? i always blow the red, any help would be appreciated!

If you're blowing the red but not the blue, it sounds like you're wiring them in parallel. Parallel wiring is fine for this, but there's an extra step. Put an appropriate resistor on the red cathode and you shouldn't blow the red anymore. See my sig for the resistor calculator I use.
