When one edits a MovieClip in the authoring environment, it is possible to choose the color compositing from the pull down menu in the Properties palette. From there one can choose Brightness/Color/Alpha/Advanced (Sorry if the English for that menu is different; localized version here).

The thing is that I want to modify in AS3 the brightness of a MovieClip that I already set to a darker value on the authoring environment. I have the .alpha property for alpha, but there doesn’t seem to be any for brightness. And that property either is not part of .filters or I am not being able to access it correctly from the array.

Any insights, anyone, please?
