Im really new at Flash but i would think this would be easy! My paintbucket wont fill! I click somewhere and it wont do anything! Someone help me! 
break apart first
or it’s because there’s a to large gap in your outlines, you can only fill a closed line!
yeah. thats also one possibility… try to change the option to ‘close large gaps’

in case you can’t find it, it is the option on your tool palette that has a circle with a hole in it. upon clicking you will see several different options, including “fill large gaps.”
this is set by default to not fill gaps…

If all the above doensn’t work, hide every layer except the one in which the object is you wanna fill. Then try again.
lol… yeah… that would definitely smack you in the face with the answer 
Another thing u may want to check is if what u are coloring is not an mc or a picture…

I really appreciate your tips, but none of them seem to be working. I tried breaking apart, Close large gaps, i hid every other layer and i know its not a picture because i drew it using the pencil tool 
Whats going on!

Thanks to everyone in advance to tollerating my very simplistic newbie question
e-mail it to me by clicking here i’ll fix it, then put up a post to tell you what I did
Well everyone i have an announcment to make. Im the biggest idiot. Thanks very much to everyone for trying to help me but after further examination i took Neo-Geo’s break apart plan over and over and tryed different things with it and it was solved! THANKS A LOT TO EVERYONE FOR TAKING TIME AWAY TO HELP A YOUNG STRUGGLING NEWBIE ANIMATOR! :):):):):)
the more flashers out there happy… the more happy we are :thumb: :beam:
Good to hear that! I was hoping some flashers out there when they hear an easy question they dont laugh at it’s simplicity and say how bad of a flasher you are and dont give you an answer! Thats what i was half expecting. But thanks again to everyone who helped out.
i’ve heard alot of people complain that nothing good is ever made. well, alot of newbies have good ideas, just dont know how to do it. Doesn’t mean to say that there aren’t some bad ideas, but still, help the newbies, they might one day do something good
