AS3 Tint Bitmap

I have a spritesheet for a project I am working on and I need to be able to change the tint of the image so I can se space. The image has some simple texture on it but it will be displayed in 5 different colors. I attached an image to see exactly what I am talking about: http://i42.tinypic.com/29443l5.png

I tried to achieve my desired effect using this on the resulting sprite: 

var c:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
c.color = 0xf30909;
transform.colorTransform = c;

But I get everything red, not as I want. I am building for AIR so the package fl.motion.Color can't be imported (or at least Flash Builder 4.5 does not have it). Any idea on how I can achieve the desired effect? Thanks.

Just for the sake of completeness...

public function Tint(display:DisplayObject, color:uint) {
    display.transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform(color >> 16 & 0x0000FF / 255, color >> 8 & 0x0000FF / 255, color & 0x0000FF / 255);
}

The color property sets the offset, i.e. it makes the ColorTransform add the color value to your image. You probably want to use the Multiplier properties. See ColorTransform documentation.
