Paint bucket tool not working

Ever since the "Animate" update it's broken. I drew my frames as usual and when tring to fill in the character with the paint bucket tool nothing happened. All my lines are closed, I've redrawn them countless times, nothing. If I just draw a stupid simple circle though, I can fill that in just fine.

    there is just the problem frame


    Okay so I got it to work. It appears the drawing - all segments of it - are inside a Drawing Object. Just double-click one of the lines to enter this object. Now you can fill.

    I had the same problem too. What I did was to select the Paint Bucket Tool; on the top tool bar, I clicked the downward facing arrow attached to the paint bucket tool icon, I then selected the settings list by clicking the 'Cog' shaped icon, I then selected the Reset Tool text and this corrected the error.

    Make sure you do not have Object Drawing turned on (J). If you click all of your separate strokes are inside an object, select them all and break apart to fill them or select them all and then select  Modify > Combine Objects > Union to combine them into a single object and then fill.

      Can you send me the FLA? Or post it for download somewhere?
