F MX2004/ .setInstanceTint PLEASE HELP!

I need for an instance(top) to change tint on entering a frame. " Top" is in the main time line, and the script is in a mov with the menu buttons.
I have:

top = new Color(_root.top);
top.setInstanceTint (3115B9,50);

I get this error message:

*Error Symbol=Menu, layer=Acions, frame=10:Line 2: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected
top.setInstanceTint (3115B9,50);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1*

I have no idea what that means. I am very very new scripting and have zero clue.

Can anyone please help me make my script work? What does the error mean? I need to add a ‘)’ or ‘,’ Where?http://www.kirupa.com/forum/images/smilies/depressed.gif
