Paint Bucket Tool Will Not Work

ive tried everything. ive toggled off object drawing mode, ive made sure all regions are closed, ive made sure i checked with each "close gap" mode but somehow some regions i can fill perfectly fine and others i cannot? i had this issue before, but it was a small animation and coloring each frame individually was not an issue, however this is a huge project with over 300 individual frames. personally its frustrating as im working on a valentines day gift... i love animate and the bucket tool is the only tool giving me issues. id like this resolved for future projects and possibly help others who are dealing with the same issue.

in summary, some regions i can fill but others i cannot. ive tried common troubleshooting methods that usually work but they do not.

    nvm, found a way around it! for others who may have the same issue and all other methods on other discussions dont work: make sure to click near the lineart or a corner/edge when using the ink bucket and make sure to have gap size at close large gaps (thats what i have it at - tho you can try other gap sizes)! if you try to ink within the lineart with the ink bucket and it isnt near the lineart or a possible corner/edge (as some regions seem to be VERY selective and some will/wont ink with ink bucket), it may not work. i hope this helps someone and if it does, gl on your animation. ^^
