Hiya Dave,


Tried the given URL, browser couldnt find it.

SOunds simple though, if I understand your question.

Why not create the animated bottle as a symbol and simply change its

"tint" properties on the main timeline to what ever color you wanted the new

bottle? You could make it a Movie clip iif you wanted to.

If the bottle has detail with different colors(labels.highlights, etc.) you

could

have the animated(base) bottle and an aninated symbol inside another animated

symbol with the details animated in the main symbol to follow the action of

the bottle.

THen simply just change the "tint" properties of the main bottle animation.


Problem doesnt sound to difficult, but I can get URL to see.

If you want to send me the FLA, Ill take a look and give you a hand.
