Editing vector shapes
To edit vector shapes, use the Vector Shape window. Change vector shapes by moving, adding, or deleting control
points and changing the way they control curves. You can also change the way a vector shape is placed on the Stage
by moving its registration point, using either the Vector Shape window or Lingo or JavaScript syntax.

To change a curve point to a corner point, drag the control handles directly over the curve point.
