I’ve got a map, of those you roll over the mouse on the sections and it displays the section name.  
I want to add to these code, the instance of changing the colour of the section, so sections are more visible each time you move your mouse over the map.

So, I have this code on every section (each section is a MC).

> onClipEvent (mouseUp){  
> myColor.setRGB(0xff9933);  
> }  
> onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
> if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, false)) {  
> \_root.ciudad.escribir(“Quilmes”);  
> tip = true;  
> } else if (tip) {  
> \_root.ciudad.escribir(“”);  
> tip = false;  
> }  
> // end if  
> }

Somebody can help me out here on adding to these a change color?  
I’ve tried several options but none of them worked.

Thanks a lot.
