Change color of active button

programming flash
1

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have this script for a circular menu (based from the menu by: Justin Windle - Soulwire July 2007 http://www.soulwire.co.uk) that rotates with the active link rotating to the center. I need for the active link to change color so that it is easier to tell which page is active.

The section in red is my current (failed) attempt to accomplish this. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Tristan
