Drawing overview

The drawing tools in Macromedia Flash MX let you create and modify shapes for the artwork in your movies. For an interactive introduction to drawing in Flash, choose Help > Lessons > Illustrating in Flash.

Before you draw and paint in Flash, it is important to understand how Flash creates artwork, how drawing tools work, and how drawing, painting, and modifying shapes can affect other shapes on the same layer.
