Objects design.
Flash has a comprehensive set of tools for just about any drawing task we need to wrap our hands around. Vectors are one of the two types that Flash uses for design, it use lines, curves, etc, using the strokes of the available tools.
In this tools we find, the pen tool, line tool, shapes, pencil tool and brush tool.
We use the pencil tool when we want to draw by our own, without straight lines or defined forms. We can also change the color of the stroke, the style and the diameter of the line. On the contrary, with the pen we can only draw two types of lines, curves and straight ones.
On the other hand, the brush tool makes our draws look like a realistic brush in the canvas.
The Rectangle properties are in the rectangle tool, there are stroke, style, scale, etc. it's corners can change according to their value. They can be inside or outside.
Meanwhile the Oval has the same characteristics of the rectangle with the difference that we can modify the start angle, the end angle and the inner radius.
The last one of this basic shapes is the PolyStar, with this tool we can draw, like the name says, polygons and stars. We can change the filling color, the stroke, the contour style and the scale. The number of sides of the stat for example can go from 3 to 32.
If we want to transform objects, we can find the transforming selector on each corner and in the middle of each side.
The skew option helps us to, like the name says, to skew and object. It is located in transform menu - Modify - Rotate and skew.
With the options in the edit menu we can move the objects, copy or eliminate them.
It is very important to learn. We should have good basic understanding of Flash toolbox to work
