    I'm tracing a logo in Flash using the pen tool and I'd like to be able to fill the logo when it's completed and cannot! Any advice? Assuming that you can treat paths like any other object is it not possible to fill them much like in Illustrator?

    By the way, I'm wanting the logo vector based and available for animation is why I'm tracing it and not just importing the bitmap.

    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Rick

    flash is great. . .flash drawing tools SUCK!

    the only way do really get this done easy and correctly and accurately is to trace it in Illustrator and just copy in on the clipboard and then paste it into flash directly. I use this all athe time, and it works pretty good. items can then be broken apart and filled or stroked as needed

    hope this helps, good luck!

    Thanks Darin!

    Hopefully they'll better the drawing tools in the next version.
