Howdy ^^

I was wondering- is it possible to colorize (maybe with setRGB?) a movieclip (using AS) that is only existant in the library (and only used several times in another MC- never directly by itself)?

I guess I could possibly give a different name to each instance of it in the other MC… but is there a way to just colorize it’s base version so all other instances of it will change color too?

I’m too tired right now to come up with anything creative- but if you have an idea, please let me know 🙂

Thanks! 😃
