Why won't my tool paint box work in adobe animate?

Question

Okay so I just got adobe animate yesterday and before I was using the software krita. I was able to use the wand as a "paint bucket" in krita. The thing is, in adobe animate it doesn't work, it just has a circle with a slash through it. So when I use the paint bucket tool in adobe I click on the item I want to be all colored in, and it won't color unless rarely I press on the shape multiple times. I want to enjoy the struggle of the process, but it's just a little frustrating because it's a lot to learn, and I know with time and patience I'll be the best I can become. I just need a little guidance. Also I've only been doing this for a couple months, so that puts things in perspective :). Thank you for your time and your help

Try going into the "properties" section when you have the paint bucket selected. There should be a series of circles with gaps in them. There you can select how tolerant you want your paint bucket to be of gaps in line work. You can select "close large gaps" for the paint bucket to ignore most gaps in your lines.

This was so frustrating for me before I figured it out, so I hope it helps!
