Editor's Transparent Color doesn't work on Vector Borders

I'll just get straight to the point: selecting the transparent color (the white box with a red line across it) and attempting to fill the outline of a vector shape without a gradient, effectively removing it, doesn't do anything. It looks like it did something, but the moment you select a different costume/backdrop and go back to it, the outline shows up again, even if you fill in the shape itself as well.

I thought it's only an offline editor bug, but it happens online as well.

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 61.0.3163.100, Flash 27.0 (release 0)

Bumping this up so soon because buried topics should stay buried

Hmmm… I'm seeing this too. And I do believe that this should work fine.

Usually we do like for people to wait 24 hours for a bump though.

I experience the same problem. I noticed that plain color fill does nothing but gradient fill does something.

Good to know that it's not just me.

It works for me, be sure you have not underlayered colored same(repeated) shapes, or that such shape is not an imported from bitmap one.

This happens on any shape created in Vector, even if that's the ONLY shape in a costume

Plus, you can't even edit Bitmap shapes in Vector. I would've noticed that something was wrong if I can't change color of a shape's border.

but not in the Player screen.

Bump.

Seriously, it's annoying how you can set the fill to be transparent, but not the border once you put a color on it.

It works - or at least used to work, I haven't actually made any projects for ages - if you use the gradient with both colours set to transparent, instead of a “solid” transparent border. It still looks the same as if you had just used solid transparent, but it doesn't revert when you reload.

That does nothing. I'm trying to make a glowing crystals memory game, but I can't even start because of the glitch! It's so agitating!

As odd as that sounds, using the same colour for a gradient…


…it actually works!

Hmm… weird. Didn't work for me. I was able to get around this by redrawing the crystal, but it took some time and it was very annoying!

It works for me, but it seems as if it only works if you select a gradient. Naturally, the only way to get the second color to do anything.
