flash actionscript: I'm trying to do a color transform on a loaded movie completely within action
script. I can do the transform on a dynamically created movieclip. I can do the
color transform on a movieClip that has been imported, but I can't do the
transform on a loaded movieclip. The following code works to change the color
of a box, but when I uncomment the loadmovie option, the box disappears and the
loaded movieclip is displayed without any hitArea.

[i]
import flash.geom.Transform;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

var building:MovieClip = createRectangle(300,80,0, true);
//loadMovie("file://localhost/Users/eggers/Desktop/abelson.swf",building);
building.hitArea = createRectangle(300,300,0, false);

var trans:Transform = new Transform(building);
trace(trans.colorTransform);
// (redMultiplier=1, greenMultiplier=1, blueMultiplier=1, alphaMultiplier=1,
redOffset=0, greenOffset=0, blueOffset=0, alphaOffset=0)

var blueColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
255, 0);

building.onPress = function() {
trans.colorTransform = blueColorTransform;
trace(trans.colorTransform);
// (redMultiplier=0, greenMultiplier=1, blueMultiplier=1,
alphaMultiplier=1, redOffset=0, greenOffset=0, blueOffset=255, alphaOffset=0)
}

function createRectangle(width:Number, height:Number, color:Number,
vis:Boolean):MovieClip {
scope = this
var depth:Number = scope.getNextHighestDepth();
var mc:MovieClip = scope.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_" + depth, depth);
mc.beginFill(color);
mc.lineTo(0, height);
mc.lineTo(width, height);
mc.lineTo(width, 0);
mc.lineTo(0, 0);
mc._visible = vis;
return mc;
