I have just used setProp in a behaviour button that was assigned to several groups made up of two graphic controls to represent a toggle switch. By setting one custom property the whole appearance of the group can easily be changed. I predefined the colours for each state in more custom properties, I’m sure this could be adapted to suit your case.
Rather than explain everything in detail here, I have uploaded a stripped down stack to dropbox which I’m sure you could easily modify the behaviour script to change the appearance of your graphics in a similar way. If you need any more explanation, just ask, but I’m sure you will get the idea.
