stroke summary

#### Availability

Flash MX 2004.

#### Description

The Stroke object contains all the settings for a stroke, including the custom settings. This object represents the information contained in the Property inspector. Using the Stroke object together with the document.setCustomStroke() (../Document_object/docum480.md) method, you can change the stroke settings for the Tools panel, the Property inspector, and the current selection. You can also get the stroke settings of the Tools panel and Property inspector, or of the current selection, by using the document.getCustomStroke() (../Document_object/docume75.md) method.
This object always has the following four properties: style, thickness, color, and breakAtCorners. (In Flash CS3, the breakAtCorners property was deprecated in favor of stroke.joinType (../Stroke_object/stroke11.md).) Other properties can be set, depending on the value of the stroke.style (../Stroke_object/stroke20.md) property.

| stroke.color (../Stroke_object/stroke2.md) | A string, hexadecimal value, or integer that represents the stroke color. |
| stroke.curve (../Stroke_object/stroke3.md) | A string that specifies the type of hatching for the stroke. |
| stroke.dash1 (../Stroke_object/stroke4.md) | An integer that specifies the lengths of the solid part of a dashed line. |
| stroke.dash2 (../Stroke_object/stroke5.md) | An integer that specifies the lengths of the blank part of a dashed line. |
| stroke.density (../Stroke_object/stroke6.md) | A string that specifies the density of a stippled line. |
| stroke.dotSize (../Stroke_object/stroke7.md) | A string that specifies the dot size of a stippled line. |
