Using the Drawing Tools
There are a few key concepts to grasp about how Flash creates artwork. Shapes drawn in Flash consist of strokes, fills, or both. Strokes are outlines, and fills are interiors. Even in shapes containing both, strokes and fills are independent of each other. That allows you to set their attributes separately, and even to move them independently to create unusual shapes.
Overlapping shapes drawn on the same layer interact. One shape drawn on top of another replaces any portions of the original shape that it obscures. Shapes of the same color merge where they touch, while shapes of different colors remain distinct although overlapped portions are replaced. Lines drawn by the Pencil, Line, Brush, Oval, or Rectangle tools are broken into segments where they intersect other shapes and bisect shapes beneath them.
The Line Tool
The Line tool is the most basic of the drawing tools. It draws straight lines or, given what you know about how Flash creates artwork, strokes. Simply select the Line tool; then click and drag to create straight lines. Shift+dragging draws lines that are vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
You can, of course, use the Line tool to draw closed shapes such as squares or rectangles that can have fills applied to them. However, you must manually add a fill, using the Paint Bucket tool, after you have closed a shape.
The Pencil Tool
The Pencil tool enables you to draw freeform lines and shapes. Select the Pencil tool and then select a pencil mode in the Options section of the Toolbox to straighten, smooth, or maintain rough shapes (using the Ink setting) as you draw. Click and drag to sketch lines that mirror your mouse movements. Shift+drag to draw horizontal or vertical lines. As with the Line tool, you can use the Pencil tool to draw closed shapes but must use the Paint Bucket tool to manually add fills to them.
The Oval and Rectangle Tools
The Oval and Rectangle tools allow you to draw simple shapes quite easily. Click and drag with either tool to draw ovals and rectangles. Shift+drag to draw perfect circles or squares.
You have the option to draw rectangles with rounded corners. It's an imprecise task, but if you have the patience, you can produce good results. When using the Rectangle tool, select the Round Rectangle Radius modifier at the bottom of the Toolbox. Enter a number in the corner radius field. Zero results in straight corners. Finding the best radius for a rounded corner is a matter of trial and error.
The Pen Tool
The Pen tool is the most powerful drawing tool. If you haven't used an illustration program before, the Pen tool will take some getting used to, particularly the way it draws curves. All that power comes with a learning curve, but you'll be rewarded with precisely drawn curves and irregular shapes that cannot be achieved with any other tool.
The Pen tool draws by establishing anchor points that it then connects. Select the Pen tool and move your mouse pointer onto the Stage. Notice that a small x appears to the right of the pen, as shown in Figure
3.1. This icon indicates that you are placing the first anchor.
The Pen tool displays a small x as you place the first anchor point of a shape.
Drawing Line Segments
To draw line segments, click to place anchor points as you draw. The first anchor point appears as a small hollow dot, which changes to a blue square as you draw additional anchors. Shift+clicking draws vertical, horizontal, or diagonal (45 degree) lines. You must end the anchoring process, indicating to Flash that you've completed a path, whether you draw an open or closed shape. To end an open path, either double-click the final anchor point, Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl+click (Windows) away from the path, or click the Pen tool in the Toolbox. To end a closed path, hold the Pen over the first anchor point. A small dot will appear to the right of the Pen, indicating that you can close the path, as shown in Figure 3.2.
The Pen tool displays a small circle if you are correctly positioned to close a path.
Drawing Curved Segments
The true power of the Pen tool lies in its capability to draw mathematically precise curved segments. These curves are known as Bezier curves. To calculate arcs precisely, curves are defined by four elements: two anchor points and two control handles. To draw curves with the Pen tool, click and drag anchor points. Drag in the direction you want your curve to be drawn. The first time you click and drag, you'll see that your anchor point has a control handle. Click to create a second anchor point and drag in the opposite direction—away from the curve—to draw an arc.
