Chapter 38: Stroke object
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Description
The Stroke object contains all the settings for a stroke, including the custom settings. This object represents the
information contained in the Property inspector. Using the Stroke object together with the
document.setCustomStroke() method, you can change the stroke settings for the Tools panel, the Property
inspector, and the current selection. You can also get the stroke settings of the Tools panel and Property inspector, or
of the current selection, by using the
document.getCustomStroke() method.
This object always has the following four properties: style , thickness , color , and breakAtCorners . (In Flash CS3,
the breakAtCorners property was deprecated in favor of stroke.joinType .) Other properties can be set, depending
on the value of the stroke.style property.
