FLASH: More Specific

[whitelaw]

Hello All,


     Sorry for all the posts. Right after sending the last one, I 

realized I should have just told you all what I am trying to do.


     Ok, I have a hex shape that was created in illustrator. When the 

mouse is put over this hex, it will stretch out the top and bottom sides 

horizontally, but leave the left and right upper and lower sides the 

same. So I end up with a larger box that text will appear in. For the 

effect to work, I need to be able to fill the hex with a different color 

than the background.


     So here is how I was going to do it. Create the needed images in 

Illustrator, bring the hex into flash and create the beginning frame 

(standard hex) and the final frame (horizontally elongated hex) and 

tween/morph from the beginning frame to the last. However, once I get the 

hex into flash, it will only let me scale the hex, I cannot just select 

the left or right 3 vertices, and drag them to elongate the hex. With 

shapes created in flash, I can do this - however, it is not letting me do 

it with images that have come from illustrator. Can I do it if I change 

to freehand?


Thanks for all your patience,

Robert
