.The Fill panel also allows you to create and edit gradient fills.You can apply bitmap fills using bitmaps that you have imported into thecurrent file.For information on creating a bitmap fill, see Breaking apart abitmap on page 163.To apply a transparent fill using the Fill panel:1 Choose Window > Panels > Fill.2 Choose None from the Fill menu.Note: You can apply a transparent fill to a new object, but not to an existing object.Instead, select the existing fill and delete it.To apply a solid color fill using the Fill panel:1 Choose Window > Panels > Fill.2 Choose Solid from the Fill menu.3 Click the triangle next to the Fill color box and do one of the following:" Drag to select a color from the palette." Type a color s hexadecimal value in the text box." Click the Color Picker button in the color pop-up window and choose a colorfrom the Color Picker.Working with Color 139To apply, create, or edit a gradient fill using the Fill panel:1 Choose Window > Panels > Fill.2 Choose one of the following from the Fill menu:" Linear Gradient creates a gradient that shades from the starting point to theending point in a straight line" Radial Gradient creates a gradient that shades from the starting point to theending point in a circular patternFill menuGradient preview Pointer colorPointerGradient definition bar3 Click the Fill color box in the toolbox and select a gradient from the palette.4 To change a color in the selected gradient, click one of the pointers below thegradient definition bar and click on the color box that appears next to thegradient definition bar to select a color.5 To add a pointer to the gradient, click below the gradient definition bar.Selecta color for the new pointer as described in step 4.6 To remove a pointer from the gradient, drag the pointer off of the gradientdefinition bar.7 To save a gradient, click the triangle in the upper right corner of the Fill paneland choose Add Gradient from the pop-up menu.The gradient is added to theSwatches palette for the current document.140 Chapter 4To apply a bitmap fill using the Fill panel:1 Choose Window > Panels > Fill.2 Choose Bitmap from the Fill menu.Fill menuBitmap preview3 Click a bitmap in the Bitmap Fill window that appears in the Fill panel.You can modify a bitmap fill using the Paint Bucket tool.See the next section.Working with Color 141Using the Paint Bucket toolThe Paint Bucket tool fills enclosed areas with color.It can both fill empty areasand change the color of already painted areas.You can paint with solid colors,gradient fills, and bitmap fills.You can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill areas thatare not entirely enclosed, and you can specify that Flash close gaps in shapeoutlines when you use the Paint Bucket tool.You can also use the Paint Bucket tool to adjust the size, direction, and center ofgradient and bitmap fills.For information on creating a bitmap fill, see Breakingapart a bitmap on page 163.Note: When you modify a bitmap fill with the Paint Bucket tool, all instances of the bitmapfill are modified, not just the fill in the current selection.The left shape is not fully enclosed but can still be filled.The star shape consists ofindividual lines that enclose an area that can be filled.To use the Paint Bucket tool to fill an area:1 Select the Paint Bucket tool.2 Choose a fill color and style, as described in Working with solid, gradient, andbitmap fills in the Fill panel on page 139.3 Click the Gap Size modifier and choose a gap size option:" Choose Don t Close Gaps if you want to close gaps manually before filling theshape.Closing gaps manually can be faster for complex drawings." Choose a Close option to have Flash fill a shape that has gaps.4 Click the shape or enclosed area that you want to fill.Note: Zooming in or out changes the apparent, but not the actual, size of gaps.If gaps aretoo large, you may have to close them manually.142 Chapter 4To adjust a gradient or bitmap fill with the Paint Bucket tool:1 Select the Paint Bucket tool.2 Click the Transform Fill modifier.3 Click an area filled with a gradient or bitmap fill.When you select a gradient or bitmap fill for editing, its center point appearsand its bounding box is displayed with editing handles.When the pointer isover any one of these handles, it changes to indicate the function of the handle.Press Shift to constrain the direction of a linear gradient fill to multiples of 45°.4 Reshape the gradient or fill in any of the following ways:" To reposition the center point of the gradient or bitmap fill, drag thecenter point." To change the width of the gradient or bitmap fill, drag the square handle onthe side of the bounding box.(This option resizes only the fill, not the objectcontaining the fill.)" To change the height of the gradient or bitmap fill, drag the square handle atthe bottom of the bounding box.Working with Color 143" To rotate the gradient or bitmap fill, drag the circular rotation handle at thecorner.You can also drag the lowest handle on the bounding circle of a circulargradient or fill [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
