Flash Kids' Corner: Drawing Bobo the Mouse

Now we're going to use the Color Picker again, this time to set our Stroke and Fill colors. The Fill color is the color that is inside a shape that we draw, filling it up. The Stroke color is the color of the line surrounding the shape that we draw, outlining it. The Stroke and Fill color pickers will show at the bottom of your Tool bar, on the left side of your screen, any time you click on a drawing or shape tool. The Stroke color picker is represented by a pencil; the Fill color picker is represented by a little paint bucket.

You can click on the arrows to expand them just like when we set the background color. I made my Fill a light purple, and my Stroke a darker purple.
