Okay, so I'm making a drawing application because I assume this will enlarge some of my actionscript vocabulary before a try a difficult game, this is the code I have so far:

var drawing = false;

var color = 0x000000;



this.onMouseDown = function() {

	drawing = true;

	if (drawing == true) {

			this.createEmptyMovieClip("line", this.getNextHighestDepth())

			line.moveTo(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)

	}

}



this.onMouseMove = function() {

	if (drawing == true) {

		line.lineTo(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)

	}

}

updateAfterEvent();



this.onMouseUp = function() {

	drawing = false;

}



this.onEnterFrame = function() {

	line.lineStyle(4, 0x000000);

}

	



rb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0xFF0000;

}



bb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0x000000;

}



gb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0x00FF00;

}



bbb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0x0000FF;

}



yb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0xFFFF0;

}



cb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0x00FFFF;

}



pb.onRelease = function() {

	var color = 0xFF00FF;

}

//colors

//black = 0x000000;

//red = 0xFF0000;

//green = 0x00FF00;

//blue = 0x0000FF;

//yellow = 0xFFFF00;

//cyan = 0x00FFFF;

//pink = 0xFF00FF;









		

	

Then near the bottom, when I click the red button to make it draw red, I don't know how, near the bottom of the code that's what I did.

Please help me learn how to make it change colors by pushing a button :D

What exactly is the problem?
Send me the .fla instead and I'll try to fix it for you.
The only thing I can think of right now, is that you have to put an instance name on the button/mc.
