I first wrote about this technique back in 2010 in response to all the jibber jabber about Toom Boom's dynamic color feature. This feature has always been available in Flash, just no one ever bothered to tell anyone or anything.

I have tested the colored characters in CTA2 and for all intents and purposes, it seems to work perfectly fine. But again, There is no documentation on CTA support for bitmap swatches so use at your own risk and if anything goes wrong dont expect RL to offer support on an undocumented feature or exploit.
