Yahoo web hosting - To soften edges, follow these steps: 1. Set
To soften edges, follow these steps: 1. Set the distance, which is the width of the softened edge. The distance is measured in pixels unless you have changed the document units. (See the section in Chapter 3 on drawing precisely for information on setting the units in the Document Properties dialog box.) 2. Select the number of steps, which means the number of curves that Flash uses to create the softened edge. Try the Flash default first and change it if you don t like the result. You can increase the number to get a smoother effect. 3. Select either the Expand radio button to create the softened edge outside the shape or the Inset radio button to create the softened edge within the shape. 4. Click OK to create the softened edge. Your shape is still selected, so click anywhere outside it to see the result. If you don t like it, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or +Z (Mac) and try again using different options. You can also create soft edges by using gradients that blend into the Stage color or with partially transparent colors. Chapter 3 explains more about using colors. Flash 8 Professional also has a blur filter that you can use on text, movie clip symbols, and buttons. Chapter 7 describes filters. Converting lines to fills Flash offers lots of great ways to fill a shape for example, with gradients and bitmap images. But what about those boring strokes or outlines? You can convert lines to fills and make them fun, fun, fun. (See Chapter 3 for an explanation of fills, including gradients and bitmap images.)
