Dotted lines in CS3?

I am doing a tutorial that calls for dotted lines. I believe this tut is done with the newest version of Photoshop out there, so it has no problem making dotted lines. But I just cannot find a way to make them with my CS3. Dotted lines have always been easy in other graphics programs I've used.

I tried going to Style/ Dotted Strokes and I get a halfway decent result by using "no fill". But I can't get the lines in any color except white or black. It's not very editable, either.

Is there a way to get dotted lines or strokes with CS3?

Thanks,
pslane

Thanks to all of you! Gedstar's link was all I needed. I followed the directions and it worked fine. I experimented with different brushes and sizes. The finished project can be seen in the Showroom forum. It was a long and tedious tutorial, but it's how I learn.
