Changing dynamic text color? tweens?

1

anyone know how? the mc tween doesn’t seem to work (colorTo), also tried embedding it in another movie clip, and tween that clip but still no joy? any ideas?

item_mc.main_btn.onRollOver = function(){
trace(“coloring”);
item_mc.textclip.species_txt.text.color = 0xff0000;
}

also tried…

item_mc.main_btn.onRollOver = function(){
trace(“coloring”);
item_mc.textclip.species_txt.color = 0xff0000;
}

and the colorTo tweens aswell…
