Hello,

I need some assistance. I am making a coloring book with coloring boxes and colorable areas.

The problem is that I have this code in ActionScript 2 but I need it in ActionScript 3.  
Can someone help me?

This code is behind the red color box (MovieClip)  
on (press) {  
\_root.r = 255;  
\_root.g = 0;  
\_root.b = 0;  
}

This code is behind the colorable area: (MovieClip)  
onClipEvent (load) {  
myColor = new Color(this);  
myColorTransform = new Object();  
}  
on (release) {  
myColorTransform.ra = \_root.r;  
myColorTransform.ga = \_root.g;  
myColorTransform.ba = \_root.b;  
myColor.setTransform(myColorTransform);  
}

The colorbook I am trying to do is similar to the tutorilas on the website
