You're missing his point: he's got a shape (probably created in Flash) exported as an SWF, but its just an outline, and he wants to fill it.
The answer: sorry, can't do it. You can't modify vector information exported out of Flash as an SWF. The vectors are all stored in MorphShapes which cannot be created at the ActionScript level and are relatively opaque. The only way you'd be able to do this would be to render the shape to a bitmap then do a flood fill (and hope that your shape is closed). So, something like this: var myShape:Sprite = [load some move .swf that contains a shape outline]; var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myShape.width, myShape.height); var myBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData); myBitmapData.floodFill (myShape.width / 2, myShape.height / 2, 0xff0000; The above code assumes that a point at the center of the shape is located inside the bounds of the shape you want filled. If you had a doughnut, for example, that wouldn't be correct, so adjust the first two parameters to floodFill as appropriate. Once you've done that, just substitute myBitmap everywhere you were previously using myShape. Troy.
