Flash glossary: Line tool
When you want to draw a single straight line segment at a time in Adobe Flash Professional, use the Line tool.
To draw a line with the Line tool, follow these steps:
- Select the Line tool in the Tools panel.
- Select Window > Properties and select stroke attributes.
Note: You cannot set fill attributes for the Line tool. - Click the Object Drawing button in the Options section of the Tools panel to select either Merge Drawing mode or Object Drawing mode. When the Object Drawing button is depressed, the Line tool is in Object Drawing mode.
- Position the pointer where the line is to begin and drag to where the line is to end. To constrain the angle of the line to multiples of 45°, Shift-drag.
To learn more about working with the Line tool, see the section titled Draw simple lines and shapes in the Flash documentation.
