Specifying stroke color, style, and weight in the Stroke panel

To change the stroke color, style, and line weight for a selected object, you can use the Stroke panel. For stroke style, you can choose from styles that are preloaded with Flash, or create a custom style.

To select a stroke color, style, and weight with the Stroke panel:

1 Choose Window > Panels > Stroke.
2 To select a color, click the triangle next to the Stroke color box and do one of the following:
Choose a color swatch from the palette.
Type a color's hexadecimal value in the text box.
Click the None button to apply a transparent stroke.

Note: You can apply a transparent stroke to a new object, but not to an existing object. Instead, select the existing stroke and delete it.

Click the Color Picker button and choose a color from the Color Picker.

3 To select a stroke style, click the triangle next to the Style pop-up menu and choose an option from the menu. To create a custom style, choose Custom from the pop-up menu in the upper right corner of the Stroke panel, then choose options in the Line Style dialog box and click OK.

Note: Choosing a stroke style other than Solid can increase file size.

4 To select a stroke weight, click the triangle next to the Weight pop-up menu and set the slider at the desired weight.
