how to store an button color in var

hi

i have 2 buttons

one red with instance name redc

the other is yellow with instance yellc

and one mc with instance rect_mc

i want when clicking redc button

the color of redc stored in a variable to use it on the mc

so when u click on the rect_mc the color of the mc changed to red

i tried that code but i guess there is no property called "Color"

var r:Color = new Color () ;

redc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);

function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

{

r = redc.color ;

}
