Drawing Tools

Eyedropper and Eraser

Eyedropper tool (with the correspondent pictogram on the Tools panel) allows to pick the color from the already drawn shapes. It’s convenient when you like existing color and want to apply it to another shape fast.

Eraser – is self-explanatory – it erased everything you have drawn before. You may change the size and shape of the eraser using tools options. Also it has the same feature as a Brush – with various erase modes it may erase only fills, only lines and selected fills. Explore eraser and delete some of shapes you’ve created.

Also you may find on the Tools panel the Hand tool (to grab and drag the stage if it doesn’t fit in available screen area) and Zoom tool (to magnify the stage).

You may learn more about using various tools using Flash Help. But what is really important is practice – take your time and prepare several sample files with drawing using various drawing tools

Draw something you want and paint it attractively – the good choice is an object which is easily formalized – like tree leaf, butterfly or… anything you want. I’ve done this horse for you.
