Getting Accustomed with Flash Tools to Modify Simple Graphics in Flash CS4

There are different ways employed by flash page designers to modify graphics using Adobe Flash CS4. Designers can easily edit or change an object's attribute with the help of a property inspector and selection tools. These options provide the freedom to design and modify graphics for a flash web page. Let us learn how sub-selection, selection and free transform tool is used to modify graphics:
Using subselection tools to modify a line segment:
You can reshape a single line with the help of a subselection tool because it provides accurate control in reshaping the line segment by allowing you to maneuver the anchor points. What you need to do is position the subselection tool's pointer over the end point of the line segment. You will see an anchor point, just click and drag to change its location.
A subselection tool is also used to modify the curves of an object. While an arrow tool has limited capabilities to modify curves, a subselection tool has the ability to modify a line into different variations of curves, that's the reason why a flash page designer always uses this tool.
Using Arrow Tool to Reshape a Line Segment into a Curve:
An arrow tool can be used to reshape a line segment into a curve. You will have to click on the line, place the arrow tool in the middle of the line segment and look for a curve sign beside it. Just click and drag to create a curve.
Using the Free Transform Tool to Change the Size of Graphic Elements:
The free transform tool plays a key role in modifying graphic elements scaling and resizing them. All you need to do is select the free-transform tool, click on the object to be resized, select the scale modifier and click and drag the scale handle to narrow or widen it.
