Flash drawing and painting tools
Flash provides various tools for drawing freeform or precise lines, shapes, and paths, and for
painting filled objects.
•
To draw freeform lines and shapes as if drawing with a real pencil, you use the Pencil tool. See
"Drawing with the Pencil tool" on page
•
To draw precise paths as straight or curved lines, you use the Pen tool. See
on page

•
To draw basic geometric shapes, you use the Line, Oval, and Rectangle tools. See

•

•

When you use most Flash tools, the Property inspector changes to present the settings associated
with that tool. For example, if you select the Text tool, the Property inspector displays text
properties, making it easy to select the text attributes you want. For more information on the
Property inspector, see "Using panels and the Property inspector" in Getting Started with Flash.
When you use a drawing or painting tool to create an object, the tool applies the current stroke
and fill attributes to the object. To change the stroke and fill attributes of existing objects, you can
use the Paint Bucket and Ink Bottle tools in the Tools panel or the Property inspector. See
the Stroke Color and Fill Color controls in the Tools panel" on page 76
Color and Fill Color controls in the Property inspector" on page
You can reshape lines and shape outlines in a variety of ways after you create them. Fills and
strokes are treated as separate objects. You can select fills and strokes separately to move or modify
them. See
"Reshaping lines and shape outlines" on page
You can use snapping to automatically align elements with each other and with the drawing grid
or guides. See
"Snapping" on page 101
