A few questions.

[midnightheist]

I love flash, and I have been using it for a while to create images.
I have a few questions regarding flash and flashkit

1) Where can I find .fla resources?
For example, I want a simple "rising sun" vector image in .fla format.
So I can drag it stright into my flash document without drawing/creating a new one. I'm getting tired creating the symbols myself, and I figure theres a library around here somewhere.

2) Is there a way in Flash Pro 8 to turn lines into flat colour?

3) How do you draw an arc in flash without using the circle tool and cutting off 3/4 of it?
I tried drawing a line when curving it, but I need a perfect arc.

Thanks

1) I'm not sure. I don't use many vector graphics, but try http://www.openclipart.org/

2) What's 'flat colour'?

3) In CS3, you can use Pen tool. I think it may be same in Flash. Alternatively, it might be called bezier (that's what one draws with it, beziers).

Sorry I couldn't answer them very well, but hopefully they can help you get started (for 1 and 3 at least).

1) I'm looking for .fla files, I can't seem to find any there :/

2) Like using the Rectangle tool in flash to draw one without outlines.

3) Pen looks like it might work, i'll have a play around with it

1. If you search for tutorials/demos, they usually have a source file that you can download at the end... just grab that. Or, if you've already created an image and want to reuse it, you can just copy/paste, or File > Import > Open External Library... (that just opens the Library of another file. You can't edit the items in it, but you can drag them to the stage/library of your current .fla)

2. With the line selected go to Modify > Shape > Convert Lines to Fills

3. Draw a straight line, deselect, place your cursor over it... the arrow will get a little moon shape line below it... click and drag to curve the line. (Ctrl-click will give you a corner point).

For FLA files, You can check out the movies section on Flashkit...
In the Flashkit header, click on the 'movies' section and so a search..
