Good but could better!
Dude, it was good and I think a lot of people will like it except for the fact that just about every memeber here on Newgrounds knows this already. I would rather use this:
on (release) {
colorthis = new Color(_root.colored);
colorthis.setRGB(0xff0000);
}
This AS is placed on a button.
Then you would have a Movie Clip with the instance name of colored.
It's a lot cleaner and quicker.
But nonetheless nice tut.
