How to determine shape fill color in AS3? - actionscript-3

Question

I have a circle inside a MovieClip on stage with an instance name holder. I want to get color of that circle.
I am successfully targeting that circle as shown in code. I can change its color using transform, but I cannot find a way to actually check its color.
holder.getChildAt(0);

Answer 1

OK, as I said in my reply, at the end, this is doing what I need. It could be a bit simplified and optimized, but, as far as my needs are going, it is fast enough! :)
function decimalToHex(decimal: int, padding: int = 2): String {
var hex: String = Number(decimal).toString(16);
while (hex.length < padding) {
hex = "0" + hex;
}
return hex.toUpperCase();
}
function getColor(what: Object):void {
var obj = what.getChildAt(0);
var bmd: BitmapData = new BitmapData(obj.width, obj.height, true, 0x00ffffff);
//In the 0x00ffffff color, leading two zeros are alpha channel
bmd.draw(obj);
var img = new Bitmap(bmd);
var stp = "";
for (var l: uint = 0; l < img.height && stp == ""; l++) {
for (var m: uint = 0; m < img.width && stp == ""; m++) {
var color = decimalToHex(bmd.getPixel32(m, l), 8);
if (int(parseInt(color.substr(0, 2), 16)) > 0) {
color = "#" + color.substr(2);
stp = "stop";
// Display color in a text box named as "what"'s name + letter "c"
param.getChildByName(what.name + "c").text = color;
}
}
}
}
getColor(holder); //As in question, my shape is inside it's holder
