Summary

Sample Questions

Macromedia Flash MX provides multiple tools for creating and modifying objects in a Flash document. Most of the tools in the toolbar are used for drawing and painting (see Figure 6.1). Whenever you choose a specific drawing or painting tool, the Properties Inspector changes to display the appropriate attributes for that particular tool.

Figure 6.1. The toolbar contains mostly drawing and painting tools.

The stroke or fill color that is selected will be the stroke and fill attributes of any object drawn with the painting or drawing tools. These attributes can be changed before or after creating an object. If you change these attributes after you draw, be sure you select the object first, then apply your modifications.

All of the functionality and attributes of color are covered in greater detail in Chapter 5, "Using Color."
