I have been given a concept by the designer for a flash site and one shape that sits on top of an image uses a blend mode ‘hard light’ at 100% in photoshop. Now i know flash mx 2004 doesnt support blend modes but is there a few tricks i could do to fake it?

shape is this color - fcba3d with normal blend mode applied…its an important part of the design and we are using flash mx 2004…Ⓜ

any ideas would be appreciated
