I have 4 color squares on my stage[COLOR=Red]\* red\_mc, [COLOR=Red]blue\_mc[/COLOR], [COLOR=Red]green\_mc[/COLOR] and [COLOR=Red]yellow\_mc[/COLOR]\*[/COLOR]. I also have a movieClip called _[COLOR=Red]floorTile[/COLOR]_. What I want to do is click on any of the color squares get the pixel value and have that color change the color of the movieClip _[COLOR=Red]floorTile[/COLOR]_

I am trying to use the colorTransform method but I am not getting how to make it work. Any help appreciated.

```auto

blue_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getColorHandler, false, 0, true);
red_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getColorHandler, false, 0, true);
green_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getColorHandler, false, 0, true);
yellow_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getColorHandler, false, 0, true);

function getColorHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    //red_mc is already on stage
    var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(red_mc.width, red_mc.height, false);
    var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmpd);
    
    var ct:ColorTransform = floorTile.transform.colorTransform;  
    ct.color = bmpd.getPixel(bmp.mouseX, bmp.mouseY);    
    floorTile.transform.colorTransform = ct;    
    
}

```
