Working with Color > Modifying color palettes

Each Flash file contains its own color palette, stored in the Flash file. Flash displays a file's palette as swatches in the modifiers for fill, stroke, and type color, and in the Swatches panel. The default color palette is the Web-safe palette of 216 colors. You can add colors to the current color palette using the Mixer panel. See Creating and editing solid colors with the Mixer panel.

To import, export, and modify a file's color palette, you use the Swatches panel. You can duplicate colors, remove colors from the palette, change the default palette, reload the Web-safe palette if you have replaced it, or sort the palette according to hue.

You can import and export both solid and gradient color palettes between Flash files, as well as between Flash and other applications, such as Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop.
