changing shape (already drawn) strokes?

[jng]

The stroke property of a shape is clearly different from the fill property and I see that on the stage and can change each property via the properties panel when the shape is on the stage. But how do I do this via actionscript?

I've got a map with states and each state is SHAPE with a fill and a 1pt stroke. Depending on data I want to change the fill color of the states but NOT the stroke. Right now, the whole thing changes. Any ideas?

one simple method.

create a new layer with the stroke only, the fill is removed.
This layer is place above your state.

I was dreading that answer because how I've got it imported from Illustrator has each state/shape with it's own stroke.

There's no way to draw a border around a polygon in AS3?

What you cannot do: Edit existing drawn strokes.
What you can do: Draw them using code, and store what you did. Then you can change the list of what you did and have it redraw that (effectively editing the original drawing). I believe Senocular made a class that does exactly that, and rather nicely too.

Senocular correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's this one (http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/senocular/display/GraphicsCopy.as)

I don't really understand your problem, but why can't you just edit it in Illustrator?
