Coloring using AS3 instead of AS2

Question

Hello Adobe,
I'm making my final year project which is education game and one of the game is coloring game, so I've finished it and all works well, then i just found out that the code I was using is AS2, meanwhile all the other game and files is running in AS3, so I've to make this coloring game code into AS3, but just can't fix it how hard I try.
Here is the view of what I made, not done the graphic part yet, looks really bad

Here is the code I have and works on AS2
colorvalue="";
RedColourBtn.onRelease=function(){
colorvalue="0xFF0000";
BlueColourBtn.onRelease=function(){
colorvalue="0x0000FF";
area1.onRelease=function(){
colour= new Color(this);
colour.setRGB(color_value);
area2.onRelease=function(){
colour= new Color(this);
colour.setRGB(color_value);
Thanks for your time

Here is the convertion
RedColourBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, determineColor);
BlueColourBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, determineColor);
    var colorvalue:uint;
function determineColor(arg:MouseEvent)
    var colorSquareName:String = arg.currentTarget.name;
    if (colorSquareName == "RedColourBtn")
        colorvalue= 0xFF0000;
    else if (colorSquareName == "BlueColourBtn")
        colorvalue= 0x0000FF;
area1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, area1fn);
area2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, area2fn);
function area1fn(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var colorTransform:ColorTransform = area1.transform.colorTransform;
    colorTransform.color = colorvalue;
     area1.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
function area2fn(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var colorTransform:ColorTransform = area2.transform.colorTransform;
    colorTransform.color = colorvalue;
    area2.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform;
