Snapping
The snapping feature helps you draw by automatically aligning
elements with each other and with the scene grid. If the Snap
modifier is on, a small black ring appears under the pointer when
you drag an element. Flash displays a heavier circle when two
points can be precisely aligned and snapped.
To turn snapping off and on:
Do one of the following:
 |
Select the arrow tool and click the Snap modifier in the
toolbox. |
|
Choose View > Snap. A checkmark is displayed next to
the command when it is on. |
When moving or reshaping elements, the position of the arrow
tool on the item provides the reference point for the snap ring.
For example, if you move a filled shape by dragging near its
center, the center point snaps to grid lines and other items. This
is particularly useful for snapping shapes to motion paths for
animating.
To adjust snapping tolerances:
Choose File > Assistant and choose Snap to Grid from the
pop-up menu.
To make sure that Flash snaps to snap points when dragging:
Begin dragging from a corner or center point.
