To fill where the circles intersect you would not use the paint bucket tool.

To accompish what you are describing above: Select both overlapping circles, then under the pathfinder menu, select 'divide'. Next, get your hollow arrow tool and select where the circles intersect. Now you can choose a fill color from your swatch palette.

Megan,

I don't think that's going to work unless the circles overlap.

Just select the 2 circles and go to Menu> Object> Compound Path> Make [Command-8]. Then give it a fill color.

Live paint...Thats the ticket. Unless there is another Paint Bucket, Live Paint is your choice. (CS2 and CS3 - Can't remember 10 or earlier). Select all your objects, grab your Live paint bucket iand click on what you want to paint.
