The color transform (setRGB()) affects the entire MovieClip including all
filters. There are two options that come to mind that would accomplish what
you're after:
1) Wrap your objTileColor MovieClip in another MovieClip. Then you can
tint/color the inner clip and apply the glow to the wrapper.
2) Use a ColorMatrixFilter instead of setRGB(). This may not give you exactly
the same effect and it's a bit more difficult to work with, but it does allow
you to alter the color without affecting the glow (just make sure you stack the
effects in the proper order)
Personally, option #1 seems the easiest/cleanest.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Dynamically setting color and adding a glow [Flash 8 AS2]
I am trying to dynamically set the color and apply a glow to a movie clip as
follows however one seems to overwrite the other. Anyone know why this is not
working and how to fix it? My code is as follows:
function setGameBackgroundColourAndGlow(passedHexColour:Number):Void {
var objTileColor = new Color(gameBgMC);
objTileColor.setRGB(passedHexColour);
var myGlowFilter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter ();
myGlowFilter.color = 0x003366;
myGlowFilter.blurX = 10;
myGlowFilter.blurY = 10;
myGlowFilter.strength = 0.6;
myGlowFilter.quality = 3;
myGlowFilter.inner = true;
myGlowFilter.knockout = false;
gameBgMC.filters = [myGlowFilter];
}
