hello everybody !

## I have a little question, very easy to solve for confirmed developers but not for a beginner as me ! I have 30 buttons, when I click on a button, the color of my image change and in a rectangle (clip named “resultat”) I get the same colour and its reference. I write on the colour : the colour reference with a font and a colour for this font In fact my colour font is white, but when I select the button for white colour, you see my problem, my rectangle is white and the text of my colour reference is in white, so I don’t see the reference. So I did another clip named “resultat1” placed in the bottom of my animation In this clip, the text reference is written in black. I use this clip for all the bottom with very light colour So I see very well the reference My problem is to say : On\_release this button hide clip “resultat1” show clip “resultat”

## here below my button action script (I work with FLASH 8)

```auto
on (press) 
{
 resultat=visible
 resultat1=not visible
 var colorful = new Color("_root.resultat");
 colorful.setRGB(0xCC0066);
 var colorful = new Color("_root.stickshapes");
 colorful.setRGB(0xCC0066);
 var couleur1="rose 01 fini brillant";
 var couleur2="rose 02 fini mat";
 colorligne1.text=couleur1;
 colorligne2.text=couleur2;
}

```
