I am attempting to use “document.setInstanceTint()” to change, yes, the Tint of an instance on the stage… but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to target the instance. the help docs talk about using this method only works for the document that is in focus… but if there is only one thing on the stage, what else could be in focus?

the Help docs haven’t really given me any insight either:  
fl.getDocumentDOM().setInstanceTint(0xff0000, 50);

I guess any help or tutorial about the document object and the getdocumentDOM would be great. a little searching and I can’t find diddly.

anyone?
