Create a clip on the stage any color you want (besides red because we are going to change it to red in this example). Give it the instance name “block” (no quotes). Now… add these actions to a frame on the timeline that you want the code to be activated in…

[AS]//create color object… block is the target  
var myColor = new Color(block);  
//create a variable to house the color to change to  
//use setRGB to change the color of your clip  
//0xFF0000 is the hex color for Red  
myColor.setRGB(0xFF0000);[/AS]
