I’m trying to get the outline effect for the image that I trimmed in Flash MX. I hit the outline view on the layer and the image was outlined, but I need to know how to keep just the outline? I believe I need to convert the outline one way or the other, but I can’t grasp it now…I tried to copy the outline, then convert it to a shape to no avail. Any directions would be appreciated…keep flashing…Flash is serious…
