I just purchased Flash 10 CS4 and am learning to use it. I want to create a static picture like on the page linked below and use a pattern to color it rather than colors (like from a jpg file). I was wondering if the pro’s out there could tell me if that is possible.

The page I found similar to what I want to do is here  
[http://www.webwasp.co.uk/flash-sample-movies/16-set-rgb/paint-canada.php](http://www.webwasp.co.uk/flash-sample-movies/16-set-rgb/paint-canada.php)

Also, anybody know of a tutorial showing a beginner how to accomplish this. I don’t even know how to search for what I’m trying to do on Google.

Thanks,
