I don't think u can check the color of the mc which is set at authoring time
When u set the color of the mc through a color object u can retrive the color Here is the code var my_color:Color = new Color(mc); my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000); // my_mc turns red trace(my_color.getRGB().toString(16)); //Retruns a value converted to hexadecimal format //ff0000 You can check for these values If u set the color at authoring time.. you need to set the color to a variable to check the condition and execute any statement.. I think this would solve ur problem Durai www.expertbuddy.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul V.
