Dorkie, this one's for you:
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000251.cfm
I see from your sample color values that you found my old ActionScript 1
code to fade colors ;-) I went ahead and turned the logic into a new
effect so you can easily apply color transitions in Flex 2.
Usage is as follows:
<ds:AnimateColor xmlns:ds="com.darronschall.effects.*"
id="fadeColor"
target="{Application.application}"
property="backgroundColor" isStyle="true"
toValue="0x000000"
duration="4000" />

Enjoy.
