Re: Pill-shaped objects in Flash.

[SOHH]

You can actually do the same thing in Illustrator.  If you use the ALIGN

pallette you have a better chance of it coming out perfect.  Plus it's

nicer to import into Flash.  I've done it in Flash by turning on SNAP TO

GRID and making a rectangle and 2 circles and just aligning them, grouping

them and calling it a day.
