title: Color under a point or from a SHAPE
body: <p>I am using flash as3.</p>
  
  <p>I have some shapes I have drawn on the screen.  They are made using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);
  graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
  graphics.endFill();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to draw them.  Each shape has a different color for fun (different beginFill).</p>
  
  <p>How can I get the color of the shape under the mouse pointer as I move the mouse around the shapes?</p>
  
  <p>I see two choices so far but don't know how to do either of them:<br>
  Get color under the mouse point
  get the color from the shape properties (preferred)</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea how to do either of these...Any tips?</p>
