actionscript 3.0 create color animation

Question

Is there a simple way to animate the color of an object using actionscript in Flash? I found a simple way in Flex,it uses the spark.effects.AnimateColor class. I try to find something similar to Flash,is there a way or a library that i can use, or can i somehow use the Flex libraries? Here is the code that i found:

import spark.effects.AnimateColor;

var animation:AnimateColor = new AnimateColor(this);
animation.duration = 400; // milliseconds
animation.colorFrom = 0xFFCC00;
animation.colorTo = 0xaaff00;
animation.colorPropertyName = "color";

animation.stop();
animation.play();

I'm pretty sure you can do this using the free GreenSock Tween libraries . You'll have to look at the docs for sure. I've only used it for X and Y tweens, but I thought colors and/or alphas were possible too.
