Hey,

Does anybody if there is a way to get the RGB value of a movieclip in actionscript that was not set with SetRGB? For example I have an existing movieclip of a filled circle and I want to know what color that circle has? Or I have an jpg image that I load in a movieclip and I want to know the RGB value of a certain area (I know that th area would complicate things but it is an example).

Something like the eyedropper tool but in actionscript.
