FLASH:DRAWING TOOLS: Create a corner

[Tommy D'Aquino]

Hi, I'm new to this list and pretty new to Flash as well. I apollogize if

this has been covered before but...


In Flash 3, the Help states that if you want to create a sharp corner in a

line, CNTRL-drag the point at which you want the corner to appear.  This

doesn't work.  The control-drag looks the exact same as normal drag,

shift-drag, command-drag, etc.  Is there something I'm not doing correctly?



BTW, if you're interested in seeing the first animation I did in Flash

(which ended up just being an animated gif due to client requests), it's at

http://www.dvinci.com/AirMan   It's kinda cute, check it out.


Thanks for any suggestions on the corner thing.


Just in case anyone else struggles with this same problem, I do have a

workaround (at least this gets more control on your curves).  Simply select

the area where you want to make your corner or bend (drag a marquee around

a small area)  then deselect it.  The next time you click to manipulate

that area, your curve will begin from the area you had previously selected.


Hope that can help someone!
