Simple Dynamic Block creation questions...

[MrButtonmush]

It's about time I started using Dynamic Blocks but all the lititure I find for it makes what I guess is realitively easy into a mystery.

 

If I have a new layer called "PL" and draw a rectangle with it and then do a solid fill also on layer PL and make it a block:

 

How do I make the fill switchable between visible or not and choose it's colour?

 

Add things like stretchable in certain directions etc. (Plan view of windows are a good example of when that is handy)

 

If I can get these answers for a simple rectangle I should be able to fathom it out for more involved blocks.

Start with the first of this three part tutorial.

Then move to part two.

And finally part three after which you'll be a dynamic block master.
