document.getCustomStroke([locationOfStroke])

locationOfStroke

A string that specifies the location of the stroke object. The following values are valid:

"toolbar", if set, returns the stroke object of the Tools panel and Property inspector.
"selection", if set, returns the stroke object of the selection.

If you omit this parameter, it defaults to "selection". If there is no selection, it returns undefined. This parameter is optional.

The Stroke object specified by the locationOfStroke parameter, if successful; otherwise, it returns undefined.

Returns the stroke object of the selected shape or, if specified, of the Tools panel and Property inspector.

The following example returns the current stroke settings of the selection and changes the stroke thickness to 2:

var stroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke("selection");  
stroke.thickness = 2; 
fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke(stroke);

The following example returns the current stroke settings of the Tools panel and Property inspector and sets the stroke color to red:

var stroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke("toolbar");  
stroke.color = "#FF0000"; 
fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke(stroke);
