I have been exploring setTransform () and setRGB looking for a way to convert a color .jpg into grayscale. Even triyed using functions to define a Saturation control like the one in [http://actionscript-toolbox.com/colorobject2.php](http://actionscript-toolbox.com/colorobject2.php)

But still not succeded  
Any help?

Thanks
