Action script in A movieclap within a movieclip

[xzerox_xzerox]

Hi

I have this actionscript that i want to ad to a movieclip called "bgcolor" in a movieclip called "main".

on (release) {
myColor=new Color(_root.main.bgcolor);
myColor.setRGB(0x000000);
}

My question is: Does it work to write _root.main.bgcolor?

Thanks guys

its like this

on (release)
{
colorchange = new Color("/ball");
colorchange.setRGB(0x55FF);
}

that changes a movie clip from green to blue if you started with a green mc.
ill post a fun file if u want me to.

My question is: Does it work to write _root.main.bgcolor?

That looks fine. or _parent.main.bgcolor will refer to a clip called bgcolor in main in the root or parent timeline.
