modular scripting or addressing problem

[eevul]

In a game, I have a movie clip which contains 3 other movie clips - options A, B and C. I want to track which of these options the user selects and to give him/her a score depending on which option they choose.

I'm trying to do this using the setRGB and getRGB methods of the Color object. As I have 50 instances of the main movie clip (the one containing the 3 options) I think I must write the code in the main timeline, not within the movie clip. The problem is: it don't work!

any ideas

better to use some variables on main timeline and use them to track user

eg main timeline

a = false

when a is clicked as part of the on release function _root.a = true

you can then tell by which values are true where user has been
