Flash Tip: Program Tools: Eyedropper Tool

The Eyedropper Tool is useful for picking colors out of your scene that you need to reuse, especially when they're custom colors that you haven't saved--or custom gradients that you don't want to recreate. You can pick colors for both strokes and fills, and Flash can actually tell the difference; if you select the Eyedropper tool and hover over a fill, a small brush will appear on the Eyedropper icon and when you click, the color or gradient will appear in the active Fill area.
