Draw Bug
When using Drag > Draw Action, the colored line overwrites my imported B&W line drawing and so I can't make a "coloring book" page behave as desired.
Steps to reproduce:
Import a B&W line drawing as a .png. Set it either as a background image or just on the stage.
Import a .png graphic to use as a "crayon" for the desired color.
Set the Action for the crayon to Drag > Draw and set the desired color, line width.
Set the Behavior on page load to Yes.
Go into Interact mode.
Notice the crayon draws ok, however it replaces the black outline of the imported B&W illustration .png wherever the crayon is drawn.
Expected behavior:
I want the black line of my imported drawing to remain viewable, and NOT be overwritten by the colored line, oherwise it isn't a coloring book, its just drawing and replacing the coloring page completely. I tried setting the illustration as a background image and also just placed it on the stage, but this doesn't help. I also tried putting the B&W illustration on a layer above the crayon layer to no avail. Please advise if there is a better method to do this.
I'm using the latest version of IB3 and a MacPro.
Also, we really need a Stop Draw option added so I can stop the crayon from drawing a line on Drag End and to prevent the crayon from continuing to color when user decides to choose another color. I reported this as a bug earlier and the suggested fix does not solve my problem in this scenario.
If you want me to share a small app demonstrating the problem, please send me an email at realartstudios@comcast.net. Thanks.

This is not a bug. You should import a second element that does not contain the border of your image that you want your user to color in. This element should set inside of your other element, and the draw behavior should be added to this element, this way the user can't color over the line.
Hi Ezra, Thanks for your reply. I was hoping there was a way to allow the end user to choose whatever color they want using a crayon and color whatever element they want with that color, rather than me assigning only one color to an element. If there is a way to do this, it would be great to know. Thanks much!
To change the color, you can create a color menu with an element for each color you'd like to use and add the Tap-SelColor action set to each one, with the color specified.
Another option is to use the default color picker instead of creating a menu of colors. One element can have the Tap-SelColor action set but with the "Selected Color" field set to "User Selectable."
Thank you for the input on color menu too. I will try to see what fits best :)
