hi, i’m doing a school project of mine and i am having trouble doing the changing color objects. here is an axample of the script that i;m using:
on (rollOver) {
var colorful = new Color("\_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(0x003366);
}
For this script it does change color, but how do i make it to stay the same color that user selected after going to another scene?? Would really appreaciated your help. Thanks 🙂

add the actual colour changing code to the movie clip itself, ie.
onClipEvent(Load){
var colorful = new Color(“this”);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
colorful.setRGB( **variable whose value set by button** );
}
