Tinting an object: How to go back to Non tint state?

[ScreaminJesus]

HI, im using Flash MX 2004

I have an MC which i want to change color when I drag an object over it. I can get it to take a dynamic tint, with a specified color and opacity(alpha), but when i rollOff the MC, how do i get it to go back to having NO color.

Here is the code for the rollOver function

if (component._rollType[arrayPointer] == "tint") {
var myColor = new Color(objectMousedOver);
myColor.setRGB(component._tintColor);
objectMousedOver._alpha = component._tintOpacity;
}

And here is the current code for the rollOff function

if (component._rollType[arrayPointer] == "tint") {
var myColor = new Color(objectMousedOver);
myColor.setRGB(0);
objectMousedOver._alpha = 100;
}

I have no idea wat to stick into the 'setRGB' call in the rollOff function, because the original MC has NO color, it is just a clip on the stage.

Is there a better way to do this??

Does Flash 8 have better color functionality?
