6 Select the fill of the shape in the light brown wave layer.
7 In the Color panel (Window > Color), set the fill color to a slightly different
brown hue (CC6666), and then change the Alpha value to 50%.
 Note: You can
also change the
transparency of a shape
from the Properties
inspector by clicking
the Fill Color icon and
changing the Alpha
value in the pop-up
color menu.
The color swatch at the bottom of the Color panel previews your newly selected
color. Transparencies are indicated by the gray grid that can be seen through
the transparent color swatch.
Matching the color of an existing object
If you want to match a color exactly, you can use the Eyedropper tool (
) to
sample a fill or a stroke. After you click on a shape with the Eyedropper tool, Flash
automatically provides you with the Paint Bucket tool or the Ink Bottle tool with
the selected color and associated properties that you can apply to another object.
1 In the Tools panel, choose the Eyedropper tool.
2 Click on the fill of the shape in the dark brown wave layer.
Your tool automatically changes to the Paint Bucket with the sampled fill color.
