Using the Paint window

The Paint window has a complete set of paint tools and inks for creating and changing bitmap cast members for movies. Anything you draw in the Paint window becomes a cast member. When you make a change to a cast member in the Paint window, the image in the Cast window is instantly updated—as is the cast member wherever it appears on the Stage.

To open the Paint window, do any of the following:

Choose Window > Paint.

Click the Paint window icon on the toolbar.

Press Control-5 (Windows) or Command-5 (Macintosh).

Double-click a bitmap sprite on the Stage or in the Score or double-click the sprite's cast member in the Cast window.
