Get Tint using Actionscript

[CaptainNeeder]

Hi,

I have set the tint on a movieclip but when I do...

trace(tintClip.transform.colorTransform);

or even...

trace(tintClip.transform);

it outputs 'undefined'.

Any ideas?

I bet you are talking about the old "Color" class, then what you try should be:

var my_color:Color = new Color(tintClip);
var myTransform:Object = my_color.getTransform();
trace(myTransform);

Or are you talking about the new flash8 ColorTransform-class?

I see that Flash 7 player doesn't do ColorTransform so it will have ot be Color.

So how can one populate a color instance from a movieclip with a tint on it?

[McUsher]

Doesn't the above code work? Or am i misunderstanding something?
(bloody kraut here )

No I'm just being distracted by a Madonna interview. Thanks for your help.
