The problem is that even though you have made the object into a symbol (a
button), the object _inside_ the button is the original object, which is
not yet a symbol. So really you need two symbols: one is the button, which
contains the object. The other is the object in the button. You have
started correctly, but once you open the button to edit it, select the
object and make it a symbol (probably a graphic). Once you have done that,
add your keyframes and you will be able to apply color effects to the
object. I often use this technique to build Flash. For example, I might
have a bird. I'll make it a button and call it "bird button." Then when I
edit the button the first thing I do is make the object within it (the
bird) a graphic object which I will usually name "bird button basis." This
helps me remember what is what in the library.
Now a favor to ask of you: when posting messages to the list, please use a
subject header that describes the problem. Thanks and good luck.
