I’m quite new to ActionScript and I was wondering is there a way to get the (pixel) color of the HTML layer under a flash movie?
I have an idea of making a transparent flash movie covering a part of a website and then getting the color of underlying HTML layer, to make some realtime transformations or other stuff.
Any suggestions or explanations would be great, thanks in advance.

That would be highly unlikely, as the availability of such a method would mean that anyone could be able to get a whole screen grab of an unsuspecting user via a rogue flash ad. Given the paranoia of Macromedia / Adobe over the matter and endless sandboxing of the Flash Player runtime, it should quite simply be impossible.
Don’t know about a JavaScript / ExternalInterface hack though. Even then, that would also have serious security issues.
