Flash glossary: Eyedropper tool
Use the Eyedropper tool in Adobe Flash Professional to copy fill and stroke attributes from one object and immediately apply them to another object. The Eyedropper tool also allows you to sample the image in a bitmap to use as a fill (or as a stroke using Flash Professional 8 or later).
To use the Eyedropper tool to apply the attributes of a stroke or filled area to another stroke or filled area, follow these steps:
- Select the Eyedropper tool and click the stroke or filled area whose attributes you want to apply.
- When you click a stroke, the tool automatically changes to the Ink Bottle tool. When you click a filled area, the tool automatically changes to the Paint Bucket tool with the Lock Fill modifier turned on.
- Click another stroke or filled area to apply the new attributes.
To learn more about working with the Eyedropper tool, see the section titled Use the Eyedropper tool to apply a bitmap fill in the Flash documentation.
