I used a program to convert scanned artwork to vector format. I put the artwork in outline format and imported it into flash. Looking at the tutorial on Todd Gallina's website, he says he filled the outline art using the paint bucket tool. He then said he deleted the outline.

When I do the same thing using flash, I have to delete the outline one section at a time. Basically, is there anyway to delete all outlines at the same time so that only the fills remain?

Normally I don't use the outline method. If push comes to shove, I'll just use a hairline stroke and change all outlines to black.

Please look at tutorial #1 sections #7 and #8 for more info.

If you use the line tool in flash to do your drawing/tracing manually then you just double click on a line and it will select all of the lines in your canvas. Then just delete and your left with the fills.

If you use the Flash built in Auto tracer, then you wont be able to ease all the lines since the tracer uses a point by point trace.
