put the lines and the color fills in their own movieclips and use the setRGB on the one you want to colorize

the way you want to use it you change the complete mc. i don’t know how complex your “house” is, else you could do it wih drawing api.  
for this moment the only way i can find out is, make a mc of the complete house and in that mc make the fill also a mc.  
[AS]myColor = new Color(\_root.completehouse.housefill);  
myColor.setRGB(0xffff00);[/AS]  
that should work

scotty:)
