computational shortcuts require 

import flash.filters.BitmapFilter

computatinal shortcut 1 - showing another opportunity to optimise for format-specific code. 

#if (!use_actor_tilemap && !flash)

if(bitmapFilters == null)

bitmapFilters = [];

bitmapFilters = bitmapFilters.concat(filter);

if(currAnimation != null) currAnimation.filter = bitmapFilters;

#else

filters = filters.concat(filter);

#end

computational short 2 for JavaScritpt-HTML5 format. 

if(bitmapFilters == null)

bitmapFilters = [];

bitmapFilters = bitmapFilters.concat(filter);

if(currAnimation != null) currAnimation.filter = bitmapFilters;

Since thism is the list, the bitmatfilters can be edited indibidually. 

For example: 

Player_ngs.head_redpwr = Std.int(mpx/this.w*256);

var bf: ColorMatrix = new ColorMatrix();

bf.colorize(Player_ngs.head_redpwr*65536 + Player_ngs.head_grepwr * 256 + Player_ngs.head_blupwr,1); 

if(S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.bitmapFilters == null || ""+S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.bitmapFilters == "undefined") {S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.bitmapFilters = [];}

S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.bitmapFilters[0] = bf.getFilter(); 

S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.currAnimation.filter = S_ngs_bodypart_behav.head.bitmapFilters;

Where: 

mpx isouse posotion relative to the actor; 

this.w is the width oif the actor

Player_ngs is a code freeform mode with only public static vars and nom constructors.
