The Flash Basics tutorial for zooming, rotating, and skewing objects

In the last lesson we learned how to draw and edit graphic objects, and this lesson we began to learn how to scale, rotate, and skew objects using the Flash tool;

When you edit a graphic, you often resize the shape of the graphic by first selecting the object and then selecting the Freeform tool

, a small black block of eight control points appears around the selected object, and a small block is dragged along the direction of the control point to scale the object

You can also select the "Freeform Tool", and then use it to choose objects, like the selection tool, you can click or box selection;

Rotation and scaling objects are basically the same, the mouse moved to the four corner of the control point outside, there will be an arc arrow, along the direction of the arrow can be rotated, rotating around the center to move (the center can also be dragged aside);

Let's do the exercises, enter the text in the workspace, and then distort it;

Select Type Tool

, and then in the "Properties" panel below, set the Chinese Xingkai, size 36, red;

Click the left mouse button in the workspace and enter "Beautiful" in the text box.

Then select the arrow tool, hold down the CTRL key with the Arrow tool to drag the text object, you can copy the text, we have copied 8;

Of these, four are used with arbitrary deformation tools

, the drag control points are shrunk into slender, flat, enlarged and reduced graphics of one fold.

The other four rotate in the direction (a point outside the four corner control points), rotate 90 degrees, 180 degrees, respectively, and tilt (on the sideline, into a double line drag) left and right 45 degrees,

Save the file in your own folder by using the scale object as the filename.

Press CTRL + ENTER (hold down CTRL and hit the ENTER key again) test the film, look at the effect, enjoy the finished press close back;

The exact deformation is done in the transform panel, which can be determined by numbers, by selecting an object first, then using the Transform Panel (ctrl+t) On the Window menu, and a transform panel on the right:

Look at the various options on the panel, two double arrows

Represents the horizontal and vertical magnification, the default 100% is not magnified, the following rotation and tilt options, corresponding to the free transform tool two operations, the lower right corner has two buttons

, the first is "Copy and apply Transformations"

, click to copy an object as set, and the second is the reset button

, you can restore the transformed object to its original shape;

Here's a practice, right click on the timeline, insert a blank keyframe,

Select Text Tool

, in the work area, write Red 24th "mountains and Seas", select the Arrow tool, hold down the CTRL key to drag a side, select the first text object, in the "deformation" panel, find the rotation, enter the degree of the hit key to determine, look at the effect,

Then select the second type object, and in rotate, click the first copy and apply Transform button

, compared to the different effects of the return, and then click the Second reset button

Restored to the original state,

Then enter 45 consecutive click "Copy and Apply" button three times, look at the arrangement of objects, save the file;

Change the rotation center general rotation is around the center, and sometimes you want to change the center point of the object's rotation, after the object is selected, select the Freeform tool

, the center of the object will have a small circle, with the arrow tool to drag the small circle can change the position of the center; Here's a practice, use it to draw a flower, then insert a blank keyframe, select the Ellipse tool

, select the linear Black-and-white gradient (left to right) in the fill color, and draw a slender oval in the workspace, which is a petal, with the arrow tool

Select the outline of the ellipse (click to select when you drag an arc behind the mouse), press the DELETE key to remove the border, select the ellipse, press the CTRL+G key to combine the graphics, select the Freeform tool

, drag the center point of the ellipse to the bottom of the ellipse about 2 millimeters (the center point is already outside the ellipse),

Open the Transform panel, enter 36 in rotation (36 degrees at a time), click the "Copy and Apply Transform" button consecutively, and finally get a flower, save the file with the Save command;

In the Modify menu, there are two commonly used "horizontal flip" and "Flip vertically" to make the object flip horizontally and vertically (right-click on the animation and click Play to remove the tick to stop);

This section describes how to use the Flash tool to scale, rotate, tilt, and also introduces the resilience of the deformed object, moving the center point, and so on, if you successfully completed the exercise, please continue to learn the next lesson content;

(If you want to change the effect of the bottom row of gradient colors in the fill pigment, you can fill it with the Fill warp tool

To modify, drag in the direction of the control handle)
