Flash Tools: Sub-Selection Tool

Video Transcript

"On the training video, to learn Macro Media Flash CS3. Okay, so we've just looked at the Selection Tool. Let's look at another way to use the Selection Tool. I'm going to delete this. I'm skipping ahead of myself just a little bit, but it's because I need to demonstrate some extra points that I wasn't able to cover in that last, with that last shape. So, if we decide that we like this shape, but we want, you know, this part of it needs to come over, you know, like that. That's where the Sub-selection Tool comes in. Because if you do it with this, you, all it's going to select is it either selects strokes, which is not what we want. Or it selects if you click and drag, it's going to select a part of that entire image. So again, the Sub-selection Tool allows you to select the individual point and then manipulate that point. Very similar to Adobe Illustrator. And throughout this if somebody says to me, you know, what's the difference, what, what is Flash most like as far creating the tools. It's very, very similar to Illustrator. In fact I know many Illustrators that actually use Flash for illustration purposes. Some people think it's, you know, a little less intimidating than learning the entire Illustrator Application. Because of how easy Flash is to learn. But again, that's just another way, another difference between these two tools. And it's very important to know the difference."
