I am creating a tool in Flash that has several different symbols, each symbol on its own frame that can be accessed by buttons.

Each symbol consists of 2 movieclips. Each movieclip can have the color changed by the user by clicking on buttons in the frame.

What I am looking for is a way for the selected colors on one symbol to apply to the next symbol selected by the user, so if they have a certain color combination they like, it will carry over to the next symbol they select.

Any help would be appreciated!
