I have a clip in my movie that changes colors randomly every timre it is loaded.  
hers the code:

MovieClip.prototype.randomColor = function() {  
var r = Math.floor(Math.random()\*255)+1;  
var g = Math.floor(Math.random()\*255)+1;  
var b = Math.floor(Math.random()\*255)+1;  
var c = new Color(this);  
c.setRGB(r \<\< 16 | g \<\< 8 | b);  
};

The problem is there are other movieclips I need to change to the same color.  
Heres the script I’m trying to do:

MovieClip.prototype.allSameColor = function() {  
getcolor = myColor.getRGB(the\_mc)  
myColor = new Color(this);  
myColor.setRGB(getcolor);  
};
