Re: How to fill a selection?

You can do it with a script, Nathan.  The attached script will fill any 
(all) selection(s) in the image using the Foreground Material.  It first 
checks to be sure there is a selection.  This script uses Gary Bartons 
FindSelectionPoint to ensure the fill point is within the selection.  If you 
bind this script to an icon, and then assign a keyboard shortcut to it, you 
can fill the selection(s) with a single keystroke!  Let me know if it serves 
your needs.  Suz

Nathan, make sure the Flood Fill tool has the material you want 
before invoking the script. Or check "All tools" in the Materials 
palette. Otherwise you might be astonished at what material the FF 
tool uses.

Thanks for the script. I really have a lots to learn. Actually I wanted 
to simulate the Elements Stroke Selection.
So, in PSPX I make a selection then go to Selection>Modify>Select 
Selection Borders, set the width and fill the border. This results in 
the same as the Stroke Selection.

How/where do I bind a script to an icon and assign keyboard shortcuts to it?
And thank you again,
Nathan
