Simple color fills and rectangles

I'm sorry for the sill question but for the life of me....I'm stuck on something that seems so simple but I can't get it to work.

I have several rectangles on a card... I want them to look like this:

Gold border, slight green background then the white scrolling field....

The gold border is no problem but nothing I do will fill the boxes in??

I've got another question on Geometry I'll post in a sec...

Thanks!

Good Afternoon...

Select the fill colour you want from 'colours & patterns' in the graphic's object inspector.
Make sure 'opaque' is selected in the graphic's object inspector.

be well

TodayIsTheDay,

if you are using version 4 of RunRev, the prerelease version, then you could make a field with the fancy graphic effects.
make a field "myField" and a button, set the script of the button to

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "" into myOuterGlowArray
   put "normal" into myOuterGlowArray["blendmode"]
   put "204,255,102" into myOuterGlowArray["color"]
   put "gaussian" into myOuterGlowArray["filter"]
   put "255" into myOuterGlowArray["opacity"]
   put "255" into myOuterGlowArray["range"]
   put "22" into myOuterGlowArray["size"]
   put "255" into myOuterGlowArray["spread"]
   set the outerglow of field "myField" to myOuterGlowArray
   
   put "" into myDropShadowArray
   put "319" into myDropShadowArray["angle"]
   put "normal" into myDropShadowArray["blendmode"]
   put "255,204,102" into myDropShadowArray["color"]
   put "0" into myDropShadowArray["distance"]
   put "gaussian" into myDropShadowArray["filter"]
   put "true" into myDropShadowArray["knockout"]
   put "255" into myDropShadowArray["opacity"]
   put "31" into myDropShadowArray["size"]
   put "255" into myDropShadowArray["spread"]
   set the dropShadow of field "myField" to myDropshadowArray
end mouseUp

I am just playing around with the new toys.

Bernd
