hi there, i have a simple question to ask. When shaping graphics purely in flash [mx2004], using colorMixer and radial/linear colors, such as here:

[http://decef.elf.stuba.sk/~mf21183/circle.swf](http://decef.elf.stuba.sk/~mf21183/circle.swf)

i would like colorMixer to "remember the colors i set to concrete graphic shapes ".

using other words:example:  
I have 2 shapes underneath which i want to apply color to. [shape1, shape2]  
-\> Underneath, for getting the right alpha blended “color mixture”.  
(1) i click linear color, set colors [colorSet1] in a way, shape shape’s1 fill somehow with fill transform tool [FTT]. Coloring of shape1 is now finished.  
(2) then i click “radial” color, set colors to [colorSet2] somehow in a way i like it, play with FTT a little bit…

problem: let’s say that i would like to change shape1’s fillColor now, to correct JUST A LITTLE BIT its previous color. But my Color Mixer is already set to colorSet2. when i click on shape1’s fill, and try to change its color a bit, it instantly changes to colorSet2 color [?!]. my colorSet1 colors is lost!

Q: How can i make ColorMixer to remember color?

Thank you thank you thank you !
