Step Six: Paint Head

Inside the instance of the brush (the cursor) is a movie clip called with an instance name of: head
There is no script attached to this paint head.

The path to this is:

_root.brush.head

This changes colour when you rollover the paint colour buttons and is referred to by the paint buttons (in step three above):

paint = new Color(_root.brush.head); // see step three above

If the brush head was not nested inside the brush handle the entire brush would change colour instead of the head only.
