public class ColorMatrixFilter
extends BitmapFilter
The ColorMatrixFilter class lets you apply a 4 x 5 matrix transformation on the RGBA color
and alpha values of every pixel on the input image to produce a result with a new set of RGBA
color and alpha values. It allows saturation changes, hue rotation, luminance to alpha and
various other effects. You can apply this filter to bitmaps and MovieClip instances.
The use of filters depends on the object to which you apply the filter:
To apply filters to movie clips at runtime, use the
property of an object does not modify the object and can be undone by clearing the

The following formulas are used, where a[0] through a[19] correspond to entries 0 through
19 in the 20-element array property matrix:
redResult = a[0] * srcR + a[1] * srcG + a[2] * srcB + a[3] * srcA + a[4]
greenResult = a[5] * srcR + a[6] * srcG + a[7] * srcB + a[8] * srcA + a[9]
