Learn Flash - Flash Training CS3 Jumpstart Pt.2

To get up and running with the Flash tools, we are gonna complete an illustration of a fish as found in the lesson 2 fish file in the lesson folder from the included DVD.

When you open the file you will notice that there is an incomplete illustration of a fish which you are gonna need to complete using the drawing, selection and transformation tools found on the Flash toolbar. First things first, let’s drag that top fin into place. To select or move anything on the Flash stage we are gonna use the selection tool found at the very top of the toolbar. That’s the black arrow right there. Go ahead and select that. To select any object click on it once on the stage and click and drag to pull the object into place until it meets the fish body. So now we have got our fin in place.

What we are also gonna do, is we are gonna add a second fin at the bottom of the fish body. Now rather than redraw a new fin we can simply copy and paste the original one. But we are gonna need to use the transform tools to get it going in the right direction and the right size.
