Overview

When you draw in Flash, you create vector art, which is a mathematical representation of lines, curves, color, and position. Vector art is resolution-independent; you can rescale the art to any size or display it at any resolution without losing clarity. Additionally, vector art downloads faster than comparable bitmap images. In this lesson, you'll create vector art of a bolt and logo as you accomplish the following tasks:

• Create a polygon
• Rotate a shape
• Cut out a shape within a shape
• Transform artwork
• Copy strokes
• Draw lines with the Line tool
• Select and add a fill color
• Group a shape
• Create a logo with the Pen tool
