How to maintain a movieclip's color between frames?

Question

In frame 2 I have a button to

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to have three frames, create your MCs on frame 1 and switch between frame 2 and 3.

You could also store the color information in an object.

_color[e.target.id] = newColorTransform.color;

And then retrieve it and apply it. But there again you will need to have the initialization of your data object on a previous, third frame. If you don't it will be reinitialized and you will lose your colors.

Answer 2

If you make a class for the movieclips (you have 5 I believe) that they all share. Create a class property called myColor, then update each individual movieclip object's "myColor" property whenever it is double-clicked and the color changes, you can make the "goBack()" method re-apply each movieclip's color from its own property.

Does this make sense?
