Thanks,

Whoops...sorry bout that last post Giles, think I dismissed it a bit too
soon...

stroke.shapeFill.color seems to work just fine when the "toolbar"
parameter is defined in the getCustomStroke(). 

So basically the solution to my problem is something like this...

//updates the stroke chip

var stroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke("toolbar");

stroke.style= "solid";

stroke.shapeFill.color = "#CCCCCC";

fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke(stroke);

Thank you guys, you rock, I'll post this workaround in the comments
section of the online docs, maybe it will help someone else that
encounters this issue.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks it's good to hear that I'm not going crazy hahaha,

In regards to your suggestion, I don't think that would be a work around
at all because it just doesn't work around it.

>>> fl.getDocumentDOM().setStrokeColor("#cc00cc");
>>> fl.getDocumentDOM().setStrokeStyle('solid');

Those, only affect the properties of a selected stroke on the stage, and
even when a stroke is actually selected the, color transformation and
any other properties passed to it only affect the selected outline. The
value of the color chip for the stroke in the toolbar, property
inspector, and the color mixer doesn't change...

What needs to happen here is that the colors in the property inspector
are the ones that are changed... when these properties are changed
anything else that is selected on the stage, if any, will follow.

Hello:

Although there is a bug here, a viable workaround is:

fl.getDocumentDOM().setStrokeColor("#cc00cc");
fl.getDocumentDOM().setStrokeStyle('solid');

How did you submit the bug? Do you have a bug number? We are looking
into the problem and will make sure it gets fixed. I am not sure there
is much of a workaround here but if we find one, we will send it as
well.

Yes I have, and it's still buggy. I have also tried defining the alpha
like "#RRGGBBAA" and no luck

I have also tried defining the Toolbar and selection parameter and the
only thing that accomplishes is to lock up the other two panels
properties and color mixer to null and lock up the toolbar chip so that
you can't change it. According to the new manual, leaving out the
parameter applies the setting to all selected items, the tool bard and
the properties panel, which is what I want.

If you try the very same function in flash mx 2004 it works perfectly
fine. (works in mx2004 perfectly).

I'm pretty sure this is a bug, I went ahead and submitted it, and
hopefully it can be looked at by someone at macromedia.

Note: this is snipplet that sets up a new color for the fill...

var fill = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomFill();

fill.style= "solid";

fill.color = "#CCCCCC";

fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomFill(fill);

The snipplet for the stroke is exactly the same except for the the words
"fill" which are changed to "stroke".

var stroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke();

stroke.style= "solid";

stroke.color = "#CCCCCC";

fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke(stroke);

Both bits work perfectly fine in flash 7. But only the fill part works
in flash 8.

	Sorry, I don't have time to test this at the moment, but have
you tried passing the color value as 0xCCCCCC instead? 

	stroke.color

	= 0xCCCCCC;

	Perhaps they're expecting this format, and misinterpreting your
string version.
