Question

Flash CS4 - Problem choosing colors

In Flash CS4, if I try to change a color, such as text, using either my toolbox or  properties window the little eyedropper does not choose the color correctly.  It  doesn't seem to correlate the mouse position with the color it is over.   However, I can change the color just fine by going to the menu: Window  > Color and and using that.  I am on a PC using Vista.

Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix this?

    If you first select the Text and then select the EyeDropper Tool from the Tool box, The EyeDropper Tool only picks up color that are within the Stage. However, if you select the Text, go to the properties window and the click the Color, an EyeDropper will come up and you can select color from anywhere within Flash.

    But I think your question is best answer on this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general

    When I try to change the color using the color pallete as shown below the color in the top left box does not match what the mouse eydropper is hovering over.   Also, if I try and click on the blue hex link (#003333) the whole box close as if I clicked outside of it.
