Using the Lock Fill modifier
Locking a gradient or bitmap image creates the effect of
scaling a gradient or bitmap as if it filled the entire Stage and
that the shapes it fills are masks revealing the underlying
gradient or fill. Painting with a locked fill has the effect of
uncovering the fill.
Use locked fills to make it appear that a single gradient or
bitmap fill extends across multiple objects.
The upper and lower boxes are filled with
the same locked gradient.
To use a locked gradient or bitmap fill:
| 1 |
Select the brush or paint bucket tools and choose a
gradient or bitmap as fill. |
|
To use a bitmap as fill, break the bitmap
apart and use the dropper tool to select a bitmap before
selecting the brush or paint bucket tools. See Painting
with a bitmap's image. |
| 2 |
Click the Lock Fill modifier.
 |
| 3 |
Paint the areas where you want to place the center of
the fill first, and then move to other areas. |
