Select a shape tool

Shape tools offer an easy way to create figures such as ovals, rectangles, polygons, and stars. You'll use the PolyStar tool to create a polygon.

1. In the Timeline, select the Content layer.
2. In the toolbox, select the PolyStar tool. You may need to click the lower right control on the Rectangle tool to see a menu that displays the PolyStar tool.

   

3. Click anywhere in the gray work area beside the Stage to display properties for the shape you'll create. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), verify that black is selected as the stroke color, 1 pixel is selected as the stroke height, and Solid is selected as the stroke style.

   The stroke is the line that outlines your shape.

4. Click the Fill Color control and select blue with a hexadecimal value of #0000FF.

   The fill color appears within the stroke in a shape.
