WACOM TABLET SAVES MY LIFE
I use the wacom tablet and paint brush tool in Flash 4......I never use gradients...they look crappy i think....if I want to shade something, I select an area, choose " paint only selected" and start to shade, slowly moving the sliding bar on the color window to get darker....
( cant do this in flash 5), I was sooooo upset with how they changed flash 5's drawing tools......I still draw in 4, then open the file in 5 when all the drawing is done.....
thanks for the kind words....
I drew a new pic yesterday in flash 4.....the girl with the blue background.....
