Need to alter controller clip to parse .txt info for colors

[sethics]

I need help. I'm trying to build a data driven map of Los Angeles in Flash. I'm not great in actionscript, so I'm hoping someone can edit the actionscript in the controller clip for me so that the color instructions from a text file can take effect!

Here's a link to a page where my raw files can be downloaded:

Any direction would be much appreciated. If anyone manages to make it work in the files I have made available for download, I will be very happy.

Every piece of the map (including the key) is a separate loaded movie. I need the main movie (ZoneManager.swf) to read data from an external text file for the color and placement of each of the swf's that are loaded in. So far the movie does recognize a text file, and successfully places all of the pieces of L.A. The problem is, I don't know how to make the text file specify the hexidecimal color that should be assigned to each map piece. So far the colors are assigned randomly by the flash movie, which isn't what I want.

Thanks so much for any help I can get.
