在特定条件下修改颜色actionscript-3

Question

I have a large XML file which I have loaded into actionScript, it basically is a interactive infograph that I want the user to be able to distinguish between values which are estimates and projections. Therefore thats why I want to be able to change the "beginfill" colour on this condition.

var yearRecord:String = xmlData.recordSet.attribute("year");
if( int(yearRecord) > 2013 )
{...}

Here is a basic outline of my XML data, where I want to be able to take the value of the year attribute.

<dataset>
<source></source>
<extent></extent>
<scaleFac></scaleFac>
<recordSet year="1982" popTotal="1544545">
<m> //Male
<rd></rd>
<f> //Female
<rd></rd>

This is where I declare my bar chart values which I want to change colour when the year is beyond 2013.

var mcF:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mcF.age=i;
mcF.popValue=xmlData.recordSet[indexYear].f.rd[i].text();
mcF.name="popF"+i
var mcFGraphics:Graphics = mcF.graphics;
mcFGraphics.beginFill(0x660066,1);
mcFGraphics.drawRect(graphX+mfGap,(graphY-(i*cellHeight))-    
cellHeight,mcF.popValue/scaleValue,cellHeight);
mcFGraphics.endFill()

Iam not sure on the correct way to do this and any help would be great.

Don't you already have every piece of code you need? You posted them in the question.

var mcF:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mcF.age=i;
mcF.popValue=xmlData.recordSet[indexYear].f.rd[i].text();
mcF.name="popF"+i
var mcFGraphics:Graphics = mcF.graphics;
var color:Number = 0x660066;  //default color

var yearRecord:String = xmlData.recordSet.attribute("year");
if( int(yearRecord) > 2013 )
{
    color = 0xFF0000;  //projection color
}

mcFGraphics.beginFill(color,1);  //draw with whatever appropriate color
mcFGraphics.drawRect(graphX+mfGap,(graphY-(i*cellHeight))-    
cellHeight,mcF.popValue/scaleValue,cellHeight);
mcFGraphics.endFill();
