been hard to find a tutorial for AS3 and this… i looked on here

[http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/](http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/)

but i can’t understand how to do it the way i need to…

i want to have a bitmap on my stage… and then when the mouse is clicked on it… it changes a MC to whatever colour it’s clicked on…

for example sake… say the bitmaps name is “tree” and the movieclip is “branch”

can anyone give me an example how i can do this???

i was told to use the ColorTransform… and it works with something else i tried… i just don’t know how to use the “getPixel” from a bitmap image on my stage…

thanks… 🙂
