Hi Erik,

I've made a little script, which does what you say.

It asumes a lot of things. First of all, all your elements are placed in 
frame 1 of layer 1 of scene 1. Second of all, all your movieclips 
contain only a simple shape (without any outline or anything) which is 
placed within the movieclip in frame 1 of layer 1.

If that is so, the following should work:

var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var elements = dom.getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements;
var i, e, c;
for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
	e = elements[i];
	if (e.elementType == "instance") {
		dom.library.editItem(e.libraryItem.name);
		dom.selectAll();
		c = parseInt(dom.getCustomFill().color.slice(2,-1),16);
		dom.editScene(0);
		e.colorRedAmount = (c & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
		e.colorGreenAmount = (c & 0xFF00) >> 8;
		e.colorBlueAmount = (c & 0xFF);
		e.colorRedPercent = 0;
		e.colorGreenPercent = 0;
		e.colorBluePercent = 0;
	}
}

Well, it isn't nice, but it's quite simple :)

Hope that helps you on the way.
