Flash CS3 Observation: Eyedropper tool
When I was fiddling around, I made a discovery!
I’m making my round transition. So I have a static text area with the text “Game of Games!” on it.
Below it, I created another static text area. The font, color and size were different. I wanted to match the color so I click on the eyedropper tool, and then mouse over the bigger “Game of Games!” font and notice that the eyedropper mouse icon changed. It added an ‘A’ below it, similar to the font A on the toolbar.
Sure enough, when I clicked, it copies all of the attributes of the existing text area, the font, the color, the size, everything. Did this exist before?
Don’t worry, if you want to sample just the color, you do it from the color palette square thing on the properties palette. Cool stuff.
