Hi, I have a MC that has 2 layers: one has the outline and the other the shape. Then I have two buttons that chance the color of the MC. I want only want the “shape” layer to chance color. And because I want to able to make many more shapes in the MC, I don´t wan´t to have to make a MC out of each and every one… (see fla. for details)

Can anyone help me? ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/525/d5236136df0858f4.gif)
