I’m trying to make a color-swatch picker for a real estate site (swatches for house colors). I did a pretty good job (for me) of actionScripting the swatches. But I think I need assistance…

In the .fla the swatches gray MCs with related AS linked through separate AS/text files (which define’s the swatch’s color). They’re text files so the client can change the hex numbers without knowing Flash. There’s also a Tool Tip that shows the model number on mouseover, but this is NOT in that text file.

There are nine swatches, so I have nine different AS/text files for them.

How can I make it so all the info for swatch colors AND tooltips are in one AS/text file rather than in several? Would this be some sort of array? (I’m not sure how to set that up.)
