Letter A with onClick material colours

SJS66

What would be the best way to make a sub-component (A_Letter) that changes it's colour from Black to Red while it it is inside a main component (A_Card) with onClick attributes? So you onClick on the A_Card component and the A_Letter subcomponent changes colour. I have included two colour swatches on the back of the A_Card so "Black_L" & "Red_L" materials are in model.

I've attached a SU 2017 model for anyone to play with if they could be bothered. Otherwise instructions, a link or eg. file would suffice.

I'm sure it is relatively simple, starting to think the same about me.

I choose generic red and black, rather than add a pallet, use SET("attribute",state1,state2,...stateN) for onClick in parent and reference the child material, named colors have to be text.

P.S.
I removed your existing materials replaced with default

Thanks again pcmoor, nice "card trick":-)

What I can't figure out is why you need the Custom "f" attribute in the child component attributes? How does that work when it has no values & is not referenced by the parent component attributes?
