Hi,  
I have a few buttons which I need to change the state colors using AS.  
I am able to change the whole button color but not the state object (converted to a movie clip).

All the variables are dynamic and I have not been able to get to the child object.  
var block\_color = new Color("\_root.c\_Angola.c\_1");  
block\_color.setRGB(“0x234234”);  
OR  
var block\_color = new Color(“c\_1”);  
block\_color.setRGB(“0x234234”);

How do I access the movie object which is in a button up state?
