Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_mc .beginFill([ rgb [, alpha ]])
Parameter
rgb
A hex color value (for example, red is 0xFF0000, blue is 0x0000FF, and so on). If this value
is not provided or is undefined, a fill is not created.
alpha
An integer between 0–100 that specifies the alpha value of the fill. If this value is not
provided, 100 (solid) is used. If the value is less than 0, Flash uses 0. If the value is greater than
100, Flash uses 100.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; indicates the beginning of a new drawing path. If an open path exists (that is, if the
current drawing position does not equal the previous position specified in a
moveTo()
method)
and it has a fill associated with it, that path is closed with a line and then filled. This is similar to
what happens when
endFill()
is called. If no fill is currently associated with the path,
endFill()
must be called in order to apply the fill.
