To create multiple curves, do one of the following:
•
If you use the Pen tool, double-click the last vertex drawn. The next vertex will start a
new curve.
•
With no vertices selected, use the Pen tool to start a new curve.
•
To create two separate curves from one, select two adjacent vertices in a curve and select
Modify > Split Curve.
•
If the current shape is empty or closed, select one of the shape tools and draw a new shape.
Note: If you create multiple shapes in the Vector Shape window, Director treats all the shapes as one if you change
shape attributes. If, for example, you create ten open shapes in one Vector Shape window and select Close, Director
closes all ten shapes.
Choosing fill and line settings for vector shapes
You can use either controls in the Vector Shape window or Lingo to choose a vector shape's fill
color, line width and color, and background color. The background is the area outside of a vector
shape but within the cast member's bounding rectangle.
Because a vector shape is a single object, you don't need to select any part of the vector shape to
make the following changes.
To select the fill and line settings:
Open a vector shape in the Vector Shape window.

Select fill and line settings using the appropriate controls at the left of the window.

on page 249).
•
To choose the line color, select a color from the Line Color menu.
•
To choose the fill color, select a color from the Fill Color menu.
