Hey all. Complete Illustrator newb here and sorry if this is an easy question. I have watched videos regarding it, and still cannot figure it out.
Im looking to remove the outer box of the image here:
However I want to keep the white within the state and the black outline of course.
Or is there a way to achieve something like this:
However** make the outline white with black background??
Thank you all
I think the easiest way would be to turn it into a Live Paint Object, then use the Live Paint Bucket to fill the center with white.

1. what do you mean by 'outer box'?
2. what is it you have here? a vector path, or something else?

Its a vector. When I got the image online it was outlined in black with white background both inside the outline and around the image.
After watching a video I got this:
I positioned it like that myself. But you see, all of the white is removed. I want to remove the white around the state, all while keeping the white in the state
