No, I don’t believe that exact effect can be done in Flash, but if you go to Window/Panels/Color Mixer (Or something like that, the location is different in Flash MX which is what I use, but I think I remember hearing that in Flash 5 is under Window/panels), then you choose gradient from the drop down you can try and make your own custom gradient. ---
