Flash Tools: Creating Shapes With the Pen Tool

Video Transcript

"And we're going to go ahead and talk about the Pen tools. But before we do, let's use our Selection tool, select everything and delete. OK. Pen tool. Again, if you know Illustrator, if you've worked with Adobe Illustrator, you'll be very familiar with this tool. Quite simply, you click, move to the next place, click and you've just made, if you go back to the original point you'll close out that shape. And then you can fill in that section. And then, why is that not filling? That's weird. Let's take a look. If we zoom right in I've actually made a mistake that I'm glad I made. Because you see those two points are not connected. And so it will not fill. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my Sub-selection tool, going to select that point. I'm going to move it over until it joins right on top of that point. I'm going to zoom oops, I'm going to zoom back out and now we can fill it. So, you learn these mistakes as you go along."
