rgb (ColorTransform.rgb property) -- Flash CS3

When you set this property, it changes the three color offset values (redOffset, greenOffset, and blueOffset) accordingly, and it sets the three color multiplier values (redMultiplier, greenMultiplier, and blueMultiplier) to 0. The alpha transparency multiplier and offset values do not change.

Pass a value for this property in the format: 0xRRGGBB. RR, GG, and BB each consist of two hexadecimal digits that specify the offset of each color component. The 0x tells the ActionScript compiler that the number is a hexadecimal value.

Example

The following example creates the ColorTransform object colorTrans and adjusts its rgb value to 0xFF0000.

import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Transform;

var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
trace(colorTrans.rgb); // 0

colorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000;
trace(colorTrans.rgb); // 16711680 
trace("0x" + colorTrans.rgb.toString(16)); // 0xff0000

var rect:MovieClip = createRectangle(20, 80, 0x000000);
var trans:Transform = new Transform(rect);
trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;

function createRectangle(width:Number, height:Number, color:Number, scope:MovieClip):MovieClip {
    scope = (scope == undefined) ? this : scope;
    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);
    return mc;
}

FYI: When you set the rgb of the ColorTransform as shown in this demo, it leaves all other values of the ColorTransform undefined, rather than filling them to match the rgb. This was somewhat problematic when trying to write an AS2 function similar to Color.setTint() in AS3.
