review answers
1 The three drawing modes are Merge Drawing mode, Object Drawing mode, and
Primitive Drawing mode.
• In Merge Drawing mode, shapes drawn on the Stage merge to become a single shape.
• In Object Drawing mode, each object is distinct and remains separate, even when it
overlaps another object.
• In Primitive Drawing mode, you can modify the angles, radius, or corner radius of
an object.
2 To draw a perfect circle, hold down the Shift key as you drag the Oval tool on the Stage.
3 Flash includes three selection tools: the Selection tool, the Subselection tool, and the
Lasso tool.
• Use the Selection tool to select an entire shape or object.
• Use the Subselection tool to select a specific point or line in an object.
• Use the Lasso tool to draw a freeform selection area.
4 The Align panel aligns any number of selected elements horizontally or vertically and
can distribute elements evenly.
