Re: FLASH: Need drawing tips

[brzys]

Hi Steve,


I did encounter this event of wacky curves going awry on several occasions.

To keep it from happening, I chose to draw a new line, and grab the center

and create a new curve and using this instead of the one that was connected

to the other existing curves. I also used circles as curves as well, either

starting at the circle or ending at one for certain curves, afterwards

eliminating the excess parts of the circles when I had completed  the shape

I wanted.


It's also possible to pull those curves so their asymmetrical, instead of

perfectly curved in the middle. When combined with an existing circle (part

of the circle) as an example; I used this method for the inside of the "S"

to give it that perfect swooping almost a looping curve. Afterwards

eliminating the extra lines and curves.


CIA,


Mary Brzys
