How do I reverse a ColorTransform?

Question

Hi;
In a game I'm working on, I'm using the ColorTransform class to the turn the 'enemies' red as they fall off the screen after they've been hit by one of the player's 'missles' with the following code:
                    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = _clip1.transform.colorTransform;
                    newColorTransform.color = 0x802A2A;
                    _clip1.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
My question is:  Can  I somehow undo the ColorTransform to an enemy once it has been applied, or does he have to stay monochromatic thereafter? I've poked around  but haven't found a satisfactory answer.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Answer 1

you could try sth.like
var neutralColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
//a color transform that has no property specified should default to a neutral state (s.AS3 Docu);
This colorTransform, when applied to any DisplayObject that is already colorTransformed should erase/override the old colorTansform
