RE: Pill-shaped objects in Flash.

[David Williamson]

This works cool.


1.make a rectangle, 

2.make a circle, 

3.duplicate the circle

4.scale the circles so they are the same hieght as the edges of the

rectangle, and line them up so the tops of the circles meet the relevant

corners of the rectangle

5. deselect all the obgects and the delete the inner edges of the

circles by single clicking on the lines that run into the rectangel.


hey presto one pill shape object.without importing any other files that

increase the size!  if you want a step by step walk through let me know

and i will sent it to you outside of the list.
