You're missing his point: he's got a shape (probably created in

The answer: sorry, can't do it. You can't modify vector information
exported out of Flash as an SWF. The vectors are all stored in
MorphShapes which cannot be created at the ActionScript level and
are relatively opaque.
The only way you'd be able to do this would be to render the shape
to a bitmap then do a flood fill (and hope that your shape is
closed). So, something like this:
Or read in a shape as an SWF file and figure out where the shape data
is stored - parsing it out of a ByteArray.
I'm working on trying to figure that out right now. Taking some
serious diving in to the SWF spec to see how things are written into
the file. It should be entirely possible to regenerate saved vector
data from an SWF file (filling it back in once you have the path data).
If I have success with reading vector data out of an SWF then I'll be
a happy camper...
