Ok, I’m new to this. I think I searched all the tutorials and none of them cover this. I don’t get how to use the color mixer. I experimented a lot and I still cant really figure it out.  
I seen a lot of flash artists change the color of a charcter’s face in different parts. They also use the color mixer to create a reflection effect.I don’t really get how they do that. Any help would be appricieted.

An easy way to “reflect” something is to paste a duplicate underneath it, adjust the alpha, and mask it.

I have no idea what else you’re having problems with since I don’t have flash in front of me at the moment. Do you mean swatches? Or the box with RGBA adjustments?
