Something like:
private function greenTint(e:MouseEvent):void {
var ctfm:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ctfm.color = 0x00ff00;
e.target.transform.colorTransform = ctfm;
}
private function redTint(e:MouseEvent):void {

ctfm.color = 0xff;

I think I may need move towards a ray placed under the character instead of actually box-to-box collision. Any ideas? The Flashplayer's native hitTest() is a fast bounding box test for two specific clips, or pixel-exact test for a point and a clip. But if you have several objects you need to test against each other, then minimizing the total number of tests should come first. A quad tree helps with that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree That should give you a small number of potential hits, which you can then test with a more exact (and expensive) operation.

[Flashcoders] Weird Behavior of hitTestPoint and removeChild()
Hi
I am trying to drag and drop multiple instances of UILoader on stage. My
goal is if user puts UILaoder partially on top of other UILoader , it should
just stay on top of it. If user puts on top of UILoader more than the
central point of other UILoader, the other UILoader will change the color of
its border and on mouse release gets replaced by the placed UILoader.
I am successful in getting all this but I am getting inconsistent results as
an output. Sometimes I have to put exactly on top of other UILoader to
replace it and sometimes I just touch the UILoader and it shows red border
and gets replaced. I used the logic of calculating the center of
rectangle(my UILoader container) and use hitPoint method, and as soon as
dragged UILoader hits the calculated center of UILoader, it gets replaced.
Please help me out in where I am messing things up.Any better idea than this
will also be highly appreciated.
( Following is the function which is telling my UILoader to replace of
stopDrag.)

[Flashcoders] Re: Weird Behavior of hitTestPoint and removeChild()
I am sorry my center formula should be ((regcRCx+regcRCWidth/2),
(regcRCy+regcRCHeight/2), but with this formula also my code is giving
inconsisten results. It seems like ti is keeping something in the memory and
showing deletion stage of
instance somewhere where I did not intend to.
