How do I Action Script buttons, so the objects lay on the prior object clicked on, in Flash?

Question

Here's my idea but having problems with the actions scripting:
Accessories and build your car application in Flash.
I'm new to the Action Script 3 and I am trying to Action Script my custom graphics for a “build your own car”. Something similar to the Harley Davidson motorcycle builder https://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/H-D1/Bike-Builder.html#/locale__en_US/ model__FLD/year__2013
I have all the graphics (multiple photos, photoshopped and cut out for the different car body colors. I'm doing the same with the car rim choices, etc) All the graphics are sized so they will lay on top of one another seamlessly but I don't know how to Action Script 3 the buttons so you can click on (ex: rim1, or rim2 , etc and see how it looks on car by pulling up the photo on top of the existing background car photo) .
How would I Action Scrip my "color button" to come up with 10 color swatches I’ve designed and then when you click on the color swatch (ex: red). It will then put the graphic red of the car body that I have already made on top of the existing background photo of the car and so on for each color button?
Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm not sure if I do know how to correctly create the Wheels classes and use action scripting. Are the classes you're referring to the parts I labeled btn1, btn2 below? Here's what I have under the main Timeline labeled actions:
stop() ;
// Color button code //
colorbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1);
function btn1 (event:MouseEvent) :void{
    gotoAndStop (2);
// Rims button code //
rimsbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2);
function btn2 (event:MouseEvent) :void{
    gotoAndStop (3);
//rim1 button code //
rim1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn3);
function btn3 (event:MouseEvent) :void{
    gotoAndStop (4);
I'm not sure how to fit your code in that you said in your first comment. The //rim1 button code // doesn't currently work.
I think if I had a sequence of the action script 3 with a button/movie clip layed out for me, I could organize accordingly for my buttons and movie clips. Since they would work the same just would have to have different labels.
