I understand that MX allows dynamic drawing in moviclips, and filling the area drawn with either solids or gradients. Does anyone know if it allows existing objects to be “filled” rather than colored, and in the Flash 5 setRGB()? Or doe this only work with shapes drawn “on the fly” with AS?\r\rThanks!!\r\rShannon
