I have this on the frame:

```auto

           fillColor = 0x9999FF

```

And this on each button which is inside an MC with the instance colour\_mc:

```auto

   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?
