Converting
Lines to Fills
You can modify shapes
by converting lines to fills, expanding
the shape of a filled object, or softening
the edges of a filled shape by modifying
the curves of the shape. The Lines to
Fills feature changes lines to fills,
which allows you to fill lines with
gradients or to erase a portion of a
line. Expand Shape and Soften Edges
work best on small shapes that do not
contain many small details. Applying
Soften Edges to shapes with extensive
detail can increase the file size of
a Flash Player movie quite a bit so
use them sparingly!
To
convert lines to fills:
- Select a line or multiple lines.
- Choose MODIFY / SHAPE / CONVERT LINES TO FILLS.
Selected lines are converted to filled shapes. Converting
lines to fills can make file sizes larger, but it
can also speed up drawing for some animations.
Use the convert lines to fills feature to create sharp
line ends. Flash rounds of all line ends by default.
