| How script the Flood Fill Tool? |

I want to write a script to fill a selection. One of the problem is that
I don't see in PSPX a command to fill a selection. I have to use the
Flood Fill tool to move it to the selection and click.
In Photoshop Elements there simple Edit>Fill Selection command which
does it in one click whenever there is a selection active.
I don't see such command in PSPX so just recording the steps does not
work because the Flood Tool does not automatically recognize/find the
active selected area.
Any tips for scripting newbie?
Thanks

Nathan, check out the script I posted for you in the PSP X newsgroup. This
task is not intuitively easy, as the selection can be anywhere in the image,
and in order to fill it, you need to have the script "click" at a
point
within the selection. Hence, Gary Barton's FindSelectionPoint function is
used to "infallibly" select a point within the selection. This is not
a good
script to get started with, as it requires more than recording - it requires
using a function and it thus requires editing scripts. Suz.
