                  ChAnge stroke Attributes With the ink bottle tool
              The Ink Bottle tool allows you to change the color of strokes without first selecting a
              specific object. Any stroke you click will be affected by the defined tool settings. In this
              exercise you will change the bright green strokes that you used during development to
              something that more accurately suits the project artwork.

                1.  With corvette.fla open, choose Edit>Deselect All to deselect everything.
                   When either selection tool is active, you can also simply click an empty area of the Stage
                   to deselect everything in the file.

                2.  Choose the Ink Bottle tool, change the stroke color to black, and change the
                   stroke height to 1 pt.
                   Once you select the Ink Bottle tool, you can use the Properties panel to predetermine
                   the weight, color, stroke style, and other features before you use the tool. The current
                   settings in the Properties panel will be applied to any shape you click with the Ink Bottle
                   tool, and will remain in effect until you change them.
