Is there anyway to get the fla file for this tutorial.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to after I create a rectangle drag the edge to make a curve.

Quit doing all that in Flash and start making graphics in Photoshop!

yeah ditto ^

but also Patti, it sounds like you need to learn the basics of flash a bit more, like the drawing tools and controls, because that kind of procedure (dragging the edge) is the kind of thing that you’ll always need to know at least.

if you select the arrow tool (hotkey is “v”) then move to the edge of the rectangle, but not the corner, just the edge, you should be able to click and drag the line and make it bend…
