Can I get Animate CC to treat the stage edge as a paint bucket fill border?

I am doing a frame by frame hand drawn animation and I want to save myself as much time as possible. I am trying to fill color on my drawings but they aren't all contained inside the stage border. For example, I have a closeup of a character and the camera is showing their heads and shoulders and the lines exit the stage at the bottom. I can use the paint bucket to fill in the character's face, but it won't do anything to the character's arms. I thought I was being clever when I created a layer with a rectangle drawn around the stage to close the gaps, but then the paint bucket fills the entire stage. Anyone know how to close offscreen edges?

I did it.

Change the color fill to none when used.

Then run the command.

To be built into the command, you can copy it directly into the software directory.

Changed it again.

Automatically detects the stage.No Popup Settings window.

You do not need to set the fill to "no"

This is more convenient to use.

Use the same

My current workaround is extending the lines a little bit below the stage and then just drawing a straight line across all of them at the bottom so they are closed off for filling.

Oh yeah, I understand what you are saying. I did have the color layer under the line layer, but since the lines run off the edge of the stage, the program doesn't see the edge of the stage as the edge of the shape it is trying to fill, if that makes sense.

Because my country can't use Google

So I use the picture to send the document.

In fact, I don't quite understand what you said.

Because I can't speak English.

So I can only guess.

If it is in the process of making.

My method of making

Roles and backgrounds are divided into different layers.

Character rows drafts copy multiple layers.

Fill the bottom layer with color
