FLASH: Bevel & Emboss

[Brian Mays]

Anyone have any tips they've found along the way to create beveled or

embossed objects?  Simple things such as squares, rectangles, and

circles I have been able to bevel easily.  But when I get to the

irregular curved objects is when it gives me troubles.  Here is a bitmap

version I did in Photoshop as a reference for myself to convert to

vectors.

Anyone have any tips here for me to try?  Or tutorials perhaps?  I've

tried the Trace Bitmap option in Flash, but none of the results I

achieved were really what I was hoping for.  I also tried the Emboss

xtra tool in Freehand 8, but it merely strokes my shapes many times.


Thanks in advance,

Brian Mays
