Working with the toolbar

The tools in the toolbar let you draw, paint, select, and modify artwork, as well as change the view of the Stage. The toolbar is divided into four sections:

• The tools area contains drawing, painting, and selection tools.
• The view area contains tools for zooming and panning in the application window.
• The colors area contains modifiers for stroke and fill colors.
• The options area displays modifiers for the selected tool, which affect the tool's painting or editing operations.

Using the Customize Toolbar dialog box, you can specify which tools to display in the Flash authoring environment. See Customizing the toolbar.
