dynamic tinting help

[iostream71]

i was wondering if there's a way to change the tint and alpha of that tint for a clip....like when you click on color in properties, you can select a color and alpha that color up or down at the same time

You can create a color object to hold colour information for any clip:

//create a color object for your mc
newColourObject = new Color("yourClip"
//create an object which holds your tint values
colourTransform = new Object();
//change the red component (could be anything between -255 and 255)
colourTransform.rb = Math.random()*255;
//green
colourTransform.gb = Math.random()*255;
//blue
colourTransform.bb = Math.random()*255;
//feed these new values into your color object
newColourObject.setTransform(colourTransform);

are you making a 3d kind of motion for the object.. i mean to say,for what exact purpose you are using the tint for??

well guess this will help u..a bit for tinting the object dynamically:
onClipEvent(load){
<function name>=newcolor(this);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
s=Math.sin(x);
colval=s*25+75;
<function name>.setTransform({ra:colval,ga:colval,ba:colval});
}
where ra=red,ga=green,ba=blue

There's a well explained and complete example, if you check the AS dictionary under Color.setTransform.
