I'm trying to create a simple coloring book app and I've got it mostly working based on tutorials and code I've found on the web. I'm using an array for my color swatches and I'm trying to add a stroke but it's not working. The markers in the array are based on a symbol called "Colours".[code]
View 5 RepliesSo we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.

View 4 RepliesUnder the stroke properties before or after I draw a line, I set it to NORMAL but when I re-select the line, it keeps changing it back to NONE. Some how it is now the default and I cannot change it I have tried opening new documents from scratch but I still cannot get it back to scale normally. All the lines are inside movie clips and these movie clips need to scale properly. I cannot seem to find any other answers besides telling me what I have already tried.If I change the line type from solid to dotted, it then scales (actually you cannot change the scale mode.
View 1 RepliesHere is an odd question, can I tile a graphic symbol in my library along a path or apply it as a stroke somehow? In Illustrator you can select an item, go to the brushes palette, select new brush, new brush pattern. Is the same functionality available in flash (even programmatically)?

I've searched all over to try and find a stroke function or a command after I have broken an object, but can't find anything. I want to apply a stroke to multiple frames. use the ink bottle, and do not suggest turning my symbol into a movie clip and adding a glow. This seems like it should be a simple function

So I'll be honest, I am very new to Flash. I have CS5.5 and I am trying to animate some images that I made in Photoshop in Flash. I would like to use tools such as the Bone tool on them but I have gotten almost every error feedback such as "cannot be applied to stroke" and "cannot link bitmap" and "cannot link group objects". I have been messing around with it quite a bit. My file is .swf and I do ungroup it but now when I use the bone tool on it, the entire image turns white.
Previously I have had problems where the picture would not disappear but my drawing would move back a bit and I could only see it through the movable window given by the bone tool in the shape of my picture. Another problem was when I used the Bone tool, the image would split into four flipped sections and not stay together. I assume this had to do with when I tried to "break apart" my image, but something similar happened on an unbroken non-bitmap image.

View 1 RepliesSo I like the whole convert stroke to fill option in the Modify menu, but what if I want to apply a stroke to a fill?
In other words, if I created a circle, then delete the stroke, is there any way to the regenerate the stroke? I mean, if I press A I can see the contours of the fill - can I just turn that into a stroke? In the properties menu, if I click on stroke (which as its colour has the white box with a red diagonal line) it's all greyed out. Am I missing something obvious?
How do I add a stroke to text in Flex 4? Specifically I'd like to add it to a Label (the text will change in it).
The closest solution suggested has been to add a drop shadow filter as shown below. I've added a rectangle with a stroke for comparison. If the stroke weight is between 2 to 3 it's acceptable. If it's above or below that then it's too blurry or rough. In my case I need to support 2 to 6 weight.
A follow up question would be is it possible to create a stroke filter through Pixel Bender.

View 1 RepliesI have a series of previously created rectangles, all with a lineStyle(stoke), but later, when in the program, I highlight them via colorTranform with MOUSE_OVER, and and return the color back to its previous state with MOUSE_OUT, and try to re-apply the lineStyle, it returns the color, but not the lineStyle.
Here is my code:

I'm having a hard time with strokes. First I selected a stroke and the properties panel would not let me change it's thickness. How to add a stroke to an object. We used to have a tool that allowed us to apply a stroke to an object. That is gone now. How we attach a line to an object now?? It looks like Adobe has changed Flash CS4 to be more like Photoshop.

View 3 RepliesApparently you can add stroke to text dynamically. Therefore how can I produce a score text with stroke around the numbers. Would I have to create the ten numbers in photoshop or in flash breaking apart and using the ink bottle and simply call them as required. ie: 10 seconds calls in the 1 and the 0 shape mimicking a real timer. Adds more for the cpu to do but looks wonderful. What do angry birds or anything similar do.
