</div>

ok … finally I get some time to work

1. go to extrusion editor
2. insert a circle or draw it by yourself if you don’t have anything else to do 😛
3. go back to scene editor
4. click over your shape and select “bevels” in the properties panel
5. select “outer round” as style … “1.0” as depth … and “front” as face
6. resize as desired and you’re done

**NOTE:** that’s the most I can do for you. I’m pretty busy right now.  
also if you’re using swift v2 or v1 … draw your circle in flash and export your movie as eps. then import into swift and go to step 4.
