I have a list of buttons that when clicked on call for an external .swf that loads into an empty movie clip.  
Once a button is clicked and the .swf loads i want to change the color of that button to red so that the user knows that is the button clicked.  
how do you do this. I was thinking it requires and if else statment that would change the colors. but i am not advanced enough to know how to actually apply this.

Thank you to anybody who even reads and thinks of a way to do it!
