Tweening and color

I haven’t used AS 3.0 (more familiar with 2.0) so be kind…

I know how to tween the alpha of an movieclip in 2.0…

new mx.transitions.Tween(menu_sub, “_alpha”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeIn, 100, 50, 1, true);

Is it the same in 3.0?

Also, can the color property of a movieclip be tweened now so that it changes over time?

Thanks.
