Join Anastasia McCune for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the Paint Bucket and Ink Bottle tools, part of Flash Professional CS6 Essential Training.
The Paint Bucket and the Ink Bottle tools are easy ways to help you change the…color of fills and strokes of artwork that you have in Flash.…In the exercise files for this chapter, we have a file that has two instances of…the Roux Academy logo that are a little bit different from each other and then…one instance of the kinetEco logo. So first I'm going to zoom in to 200%.…I'm going to choose the Paint Bucket tool from the toolbar.…In the Property inspector, I'll click once on the color chip for the fill color…to open the color palette, and I'm going to select this special yellow color…that I loaded into the color picker that goes with the color scheme for the…Roux Academy brand.…
Now I can simply click on parts of the fill to change the color.…I'm going to change all these leaves to yellow.…Now there are some useful options for the Paint Bucket tool. Look in the toolbar…underneath all the tools and we'll see the option for Lock Fill.…We're going to address this in the movie about gradients, so we'll skip it for now.…
