I have a couple of movieClips that are dynamically created via  
a attachedmovie from the library. If I use the color object I can change the color of the moveclips, which I want. I also want to change the border around each MovieClip. Therefore is it possible to change the border color of the movieclip dynamically? if so, can I see some examples?

thanks

As far as I know…

No.

When you change the color via actionscript, it changes the color of the whole script, including the border. I don’t think there is any way to single out the border of an mc and change that.

(note: I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure you can’t)

changes the color of the whole script? hehe too much AS for you lost 😉

The only way to differentiate the border is to have it as a seperate movieclip - something Ive done in the past, its usually not that big of a deal.

LOL, I meant to say clip, but I was rushing because I had to go. OOOPS… oh well. I am a bad typist anyway, so it’s nothing new to me.
