[Infamous question: Papervision3d Plane apply filter]

I have searched everywhere and cannot find solution.

 

I have a simple filter being applied to a plane (event.currentTarget) and its being triggered but nothing happens. Its looking for a movieclip and I'm just using a regular plane and bitmapmaterial on it.

 

 

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

import com.greensock.plugins.*;

 

TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]);

 

TweenLite.to(event.currentTarget, 1, {tint:{color:0xFFFFFF, tintAmount:0.5} });

 

I've been on this for a few hours now and any help would be very useful. Thank you.
