Color changing help

[Zamerick]

Hey all,

I feel sort of stupid asking this, but for the life of me I cant seem to find/figure out an answer to this script.

I am trying to create a simple little script to change the color of a circle every time the user clicks anywhere in the flash movie. I swear that the code below should work and I cant find out where I am going wrong. Help, please? (er side note, I just realized that the code that I posted wont change it *everytime* but at this point I just want to be able to change it at all. I'll work on it from there)

class shooter extends MovieClip
{
function onLoad()
{
shooter.onRelease(mouseDown)
{
var colorful = new Color("_root.shooter_ball");
colorful.setRGB(0x0000FF);
}
}

}

try without the " :
var colorful = new Color(_root.shooter_ball);
or just:
var colorful = new Color(shooter_ball);

but If you are trying to use this in CS3:

"The method Color is no longer supported. The Color class has been removed. Use the flash.geom.ColorTransform class for equivalent functionality.."

For AS3, try something like this,

var cir:Sprite = new Sprite();

cir.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1);
cir.graphics.drawCircle(200, 250, 30);
cir.graphics.endFill();
addChild(cir);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mClick, false, 0, true);

function mClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
    ct.color = Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF;
    cir.transform.colorTransform = ct;
}

I am working with CS4 but I'm using Actionscript 2. Was the Color function removed in Actionscript 3 or just Creative suite 3?

Removed in AS3.
