    I am not sure what you mean by multi background color. Add whatever color changes you want by creating a rectangle the size of the movie frame in the first frame, putting the rectangle at the bottom level, and copy / pasting the rectangle to the rest of the frames. You can do whatever you want in this rectangle. It will display as the background.

    I tried this thing as well but I cant make other rectangle different color on other frame, for example I did a white filled rectangle in 1st frame and copied it to 2nd frame and change the color fill to red when I go back to 1st frame the rectangle changed to red as well how do you make it different color? thanks.

    That doesn't sound right. I just tried that and it works as expected.

    Make your first frame background rectangle. set the colour as you want it then copy it, open "edit" and select "paste to end. The pasted copys will be 1 pixel down and 1 pixel right of the original. Scrub the original (first frame will have the original plus the copy), select "shapes"< selection scope><All Frames> and then move the rectangle back to the original position. Works every time for me. The slow way is to copy the rectangle and then paste it frame by frame to the end then <Shapes<Depth><Send to back>.

    As for the Frame by frame colouring. make sure your shapes (background rectangles) are not designated as symbols then they will become individual entities where you can change them without affecting the other frames.

    The easiest way would be to design your button and paste it through your movie in the same way and make the over state transparent, then place a false button underneath to whatever colour you want. There is a simple example in the zip, look at the over states after each click.
