way doesn’t this work?

```auto

var rettRute:Array = new Array("r1", "r2", "r3");

function squareClick(m:MouseEvent) {
   trace(m.target.name);
   fargeRett.color=0x000000;
   fargeFeil.color=0xff0000;
   if (m.target.name==rettRute.indexOf(m.target.name, 0)) {    
      m.target.transform.colorTransform=fargeRett;
   } else {
      m.target.transform.colorTransform=fargeFeil;

   }
}

```
