hi,

Sometimes when i use my brush tool in Flash 8… At times it’ll work perfectly and draw my lines out… but sometimes! It just dies on me! And Whenever i click and drag to draw… It comes up… but once i let go of the click… it dissappears!!

I have to draw a full touching circle with the brush tool for the drawing to appear… But if i wanted to draw straight lines with the brush tool, then i’m screwed! lol

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Also, I’ve checked my brush modes and it’s always on normal!
