hi.

i’ve got a function (a ‘for’ loop) that creates 20 movie clips on the fly. in each movie clip i dynamically draw an object with the api tool and all these objects follow a path.

what i want is that when the mouse is in the frame of the piece, i want the colors to change. i’m not sure if i can even do that. i’ve attached the .as file. does anyone have any ideas?

thanks. fumeng.
