Flash CS3: The Drawing Tools Pt.2

When you work with the flash drawing tools you have the option of working in one of two drawing modes: the default or standard flash drawing mode or object drawing mode.

Let’s explore the differences between these two and how it affects you when you are drawing on the flash stage. First let’s pick a shape to draw with. So we are gonna click on the rectangle tool in the middle of our tool bar. And before you draw on the stage let’s first select a fill and a stroke color to work with. So at the bottom of the tool bar click on the stroke color icon which is right underneath the pencil.

That’s gonna launch your palette. Go ahead and choose a color. I am gonna choose a dark orange. And right below you click on the fill color. And when the image has appeared go ahead and choose a fill color for your new shape. I ‘m gonna choose a dark red. Now before we get started take a look at the very bottom of the toolbar, and you know there are two option buttons there. And the top one looks like a circle inside a square.
