change symbol background color by code

[charlesn79540358]

hello,

Is there a way to change symbol background color by code dynamically?

i have it working like this.

function changebackground(hotbutton){

switch (hotbutton){

case "  2":

exportRoot.hotbtn_3.shape_1.graphics.f("#00FFFF").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

exportRoot.hotbtn_2.shape_1.graphics.f("#FF9900").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

exportRoot.hotbtn_2a.shape_1.graphics.f("#FF9900").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

exportRoot.hotbtn_2b.shape_1.graphics.f("#FF9900").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

break;

case "  3":

exportRoot.hotbtn_2.shape_1.graphics.f("#00FFFF").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

exportRoot.hotbtn_2a.shape_1.graphics.f("#00FFFF").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

exportRoot.hotbtn_3.shape_1.graphics.f("#FF9900").s().p("AhSBTQgjgiAAgxQAAgvAjgjQAigjAwABQAwgBAjAjQAjAjgBAvQABAxgjAiQgjAjgwAAQgwAAgigjg");

break;

}

}

but I'm changing the back ground color by doing it hard coded. I don't want to do this for 10-15 symbols.

thanks

Thank you so much that is what i was looking for

[charlesn79540358]

the syntax is what kills me the most

is there an api that shows that?

eg, checking easeljs, i don't see a shape property of movieclips:

[charlesn79540358]

i'm using html5/canvas so when you go look at the javascript adobe creates it like this.

exportRoot.mysymbol.shape_1.graphics.f("#FF9900").s().p("AhCBDQgcgcAAgnQAAgmAcgcQAcgcAmAAQAnAAAcAcQAcAcAAAmQAAAngcAcQgcAcgnAAQgmAAgcgcg")

i knew there was a fill property i was just not using it right

this was the way i was trying to look for because i didn't want that long string

exportRoot.mySymbol.shape.graphics._fill.style = "#FF9900"; //changes its color to blue.
