Level issue and fillColor

programming flash
1

I have this on the frame:



           fillColor = 0x9999FF

And this on each button which is inside an MC with the instance colour_mc:



   on (release) {

               _root.fillColor = 0xFF99FF;

               _root.brush.gotoAndStop(2);

       }

But the background only changes colour when you press the button then press the background and I want it to change instantly. How can I achieve that?
