Grouping Lines

When you import a drawing into Flash, it is interpreted and divided into several elements displayed in rectangles. You need to group these in one block. Proceed as follows:

1. Select the symbol "albert1" in the library and double-click on the Symbol icon assigned to it.
   
   
2. Click on the outline of the "albert1" drawing. You will notice that it is made up of a collection of independent rectangles.
   
   





But first! In this state, you cannot modify the colours or the outline.


3. Group the blocks by selecting them all. To do this, select Edit > Select All.
   
   
4. Then select Modify > Break Apart.
   
   
The rectangles disappear and the outlines of our friend Albert are shown.

He is ready to receive a touch of colour.
