Is there a way to TINT a display object?

Hi all,

I’m wondering if there’s any way to tint a display object. Similar to the way we do in Actionscript?
I have a character as a png with alpha, and I’d like that character to cast a shadow. Instead of having another png that’s all black, I’d like to just skew the character png, and tint it black. Seems easy enough, can it be done?

Not yet, unfortunately. Image effects are on the roadmap. Hopefully soon! [import]uid: 8444 topic_id: 4417 reply_id: 13782[/import]

You can just put a polygon object over the top of your image object, in the same display group, fill it with a colour and give it a low alpha value.

Not quite the same, but should do the job.
