Mixing colors | Add 10 percent of one color to another | ActionScript 3.0 AS3

If you want to add one color to another and then set a movie clip to that tint I have provided the function below. The idea is to sort of mix colors in the way paint is mixed here is how you do it:

	//requires the RGB class which can be found at the following link:
	//https://gist.github.com/nicholasdunbar/8812643
	//layerToTint.transform.colorTransform has to initialized to some color before this will work.

	function addColorToLayer(layerToTint:DisplayObject, hexVal:String):void{
	var colorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
	var newColor:uint;
	var rgb:RGB = new RGB();
	var rgb2:RGB = new RGB();
	var rgb3:RGB = new RGB();

	rgb.r = parseInt( "0x"+hexVal.charAt(0)+hexVal.charAt(1) );
	rgb.g = parseInt( "0x"+hexVal.charAt(2)+hexVal.charAt(3) );
	rgb.b = parseInt( "0x"+hexVal.charAt(4)+hexVal.charAt(5) );

	rgb2.r = layerToTint.transform.colorTransform.redOffset;
	rgb2.g = layerToTint.transform.colorTransform.greenOffset;
	rgb2.b = layerToTint.transform.colorTransform.blueOffset;

	rgb3.r = int( (rgb.r.1)+(rgb2.r.9) );
	rgb3.g = int( (rgb.g.1)+(rgb2.g.9) );
	rgb3.b = int( (rgb.b.1)+(rgb2.b.9) );
	// convert the new number to a hex and then an int and transform the mc
	newColor = (rgb3.r << 16) \| (rgb3.g << 8) \| rgb3.b;
	layerToTint.changeColor(newColor);
	}

layerToTint.transform.colorTransform has to initialized to some color before this will work.
