Position the pointer over the fill you want to select.
The selection icon appears next to the arrow pointer.
Click the fill.
Flash highlights the selected fill with a dot pattern (Figure 3.6).
Figure 3.6 When the pointer sits above a filled area, it changes into the
selection arrow. Click the fill to select it. A dot pattern in a contrasting
color highlights the selected fill.To select additional fills, do one of the following:
If you are using Flash's default selection style (Shift Select), Shift-click each additional fill you want to select.
If you turned off the Shift Select option in the Preferences dialog box, click each fill you want to include.
