CREATInG
When you start creating work in any
of the Creative Suite components, similar
tools and practices let you quickly engage
with the individual application you are in.
Tools like Pen and Eraser are fundamental
to several components; Layers and
Animation panels were engineered for
similar purposes; filters and styles
are great crossover effects that remain
familiar no matter what component
you are in.

Pen tool
When you need a precision drawing
tool, the Pen tool is usually the answer.
The Pen tool has been updated in Flash,
where drawing objects is now more
consistent with your experience in
Illustrator and Photoshop.
The Pen tool draws straight and curved
lines to create objects. The tool comes
with a menu containing the Add Anchor
Point tool, Delete Anchor Point tool, and
Convert Anchor Point tool. These tools
help shape and redefine your object.

Eraser tool
The Eraser tool removes parts of
the image. In Photoshop, you can
erase pixel information. In Flash, you
can erase strokes and fills. In Illustrator,
this new tool lets you erase vector
lines and shapes, and will automatically
create new anchor points. You can
customize the Eraser tool within the
different Creative Suite components.
