Use the Flash Basic tool to draw lanterns

Recently finally had leisure time to participate in community activities, the post looked a lot, also very feeling. Regrets that many users of the Flash graphics function is very scarce, this is the Flash animation of the three core functions of the most basic link, you have to be skilled ah.

Below I use a sample to draw a lantern to introduce some of Flash's drawing function, we this method should not be hand-drawn, use is the Flash basic tool.

Start the flash authoring environment, create a new document, use the rectangular tool to pull out a rectangular box, fill the color (the paint set can download from here).
Then remove the top and bottom borders and add some vertical lines as you wish, but be careful about symmetry.
So, hold down the SHIFT key, select the lines, click Horizontally centered on the alignment panel, and the final effect may be the following image:

Then select View > Ruler from the main menu to have the ruler display and pull the guide from the edge of the ruler as shown in the figure:

At this point, note that if your graphic top and bottom lines are uneven, pull the rectangle to select, then Delete, and then flat.
First of all, to adjust the size and position in the property panel, preferably an integer, and the reference line can be better combined to use.

When all this is done, the magic begins.
First select the graphic, switch to the Freeform tool, and select envelope in the function bar at the bottom.
Hold down a square handle in the middle of the left and drag it to the left to reach the intersection of the guides; The final effect is as shown in the figure:

Key points in this step, note the direction line control points that are specifically marked on the figure above, and hold and pull to the intersection of the guides, as shown in the figure:

The other few are the same, and you can see that a very standard lantern body is made.
Then add some adornments, as shown in the figure:

Then you can add "spike", just draw a few lines, I think I will not take up more time.
Or the old saying, Flash graphics is the most basic part of the three functions of Flash animation, learn basic things, with proficiency it is fundamental.
