Need help with Flash animation

Hi,

This is my first post to this forum. I have to create an animation in Flash MX for a client, and need some guidance on how to proceed.

What I need to do is create a picture of a Garage, and make it possible for a customer to select a color from a provided color palette. The colors would need to be applied in real time, and independently to the walls, roof, trim, doors, etc.

This will later also need to be done for other building types, so I would like to accomplish this in a way where I can re-use as much as possible.

Can someone direct me to a tutorial on this, or offere a suggestion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks
