do a trace (_root.tempRegionCopy.currentShortName ) an check or
you get a *_level0*.pathToMy.mc back

maybe you want something like this (untested, but should work)

var currentShortName:MovieClip = _root.tempRegionCopy.nameOfMovieClip
// trace("MC exists? : "+currentShortName)
var colTran:ColorTransform = new flash.geom.ColorTransform();

root.listItem1.onRollOver = function(){
// trace ("hitme")
colTran.rgb(0xff9966);
currentShortName.transform.colorTransform = colTran
}


cheers,
Latcho
Should this:

_root.tempRegionCopy.currentShortName

not be this:

_root.currentShortName

or visa versa?

Trying to get the following to work, sure my logic is a mess, but I would appreciate any help.
Have an early deadline today...


_root.listItem1.onRollOver = function(){

    _root.currentShortName = nameOfMovieClip;

    myColor = new Color (_root.tempRegionCopy.currentShortName);

    myColor.setRGB(0xff9966);

}
