About color palettes
Each Flash file contains its own color palette, stored in the Flash document. Flash displays a file’s palette as swatches
in the Fill Color and Stroke Color controls and in the Swatches panel. The default color palette is the web-safe palette
of 216 colors. To add colors to the current color palette, use the Color panel.
You can import and export both solid and gradient color palettes between Flash files, as well as between Flash and
other applications.
