Is there a way you can change a text objects color with AS? For example… Giving the text object the instant name: “my text”. Then changing the color of that instant name??? The way I have been doing this in the past is by making the text object a movie clip and just making a second key frame with the second color. However this means I now have a lot of movie clips floating around.

- Thank you very much.:book:
