When dealing with shapes in Animate, you can create the vectors as simple shape objects, or you can choose to create them as something called a drawing object with Object Drawing mode enabled.
- [Instructor] When dealing with shapes in animate,…we can create the vectors as simple shape objects,…or we can choose to create them as something…called a drawing object, with drawing object mode enabled.…Let's go ahead and choose the Ellipse tool…and we'll set the stroke to this little swatch right here.…This is a special swatch that…disables the stroke entirely.…Be sure that object drawing mode is off,…and select a specific color for the fill…that's going to show up against our light background.…
I'll now go ahead and draw out a circle,…and maybe three circles of different sizes,…choosing the Selection tool…I'll go ahead and select one of the circles…I've just created, and drag it onto and overlapping…another one of the circles.…I'll select the additional circle…and do the same thing.…If I de select everything, and then go ahead…and re select Object, we can see that…it is now a joined shape.…
In Animate CC, if you're using…basic shapes and they overlap, they will…combine in this way.…That's the way that you can create…
