How to Angle in Flash
The Adobe Flash animation software offers an endless array of options to customize your clips, from coloring the stage to determining the size, shape and appearance of buttons. One of the quickest and least involved ways to change an animation's appearance is to rotate objects within it. Angling in Flash involves the program's rotate option, which gives you full control over the degree and direction of the objects on the stage.
