- [Narrator] There are some really nice tricks…that you can use in Flash, or Flash slash Animate…to really add some interest to static objects.…So, in this case we have a flying saucer.…And I've made a folder in the characters folder…for UFO called the symbol, UFO.…Here we have it next to our characters.…It's not in scale, and I don't think it really has to be…because it's never going to be next to them anyway.…So let's just click on the UFO symbol to go inside it.…And I'll walk you through the layers,…'cause it looks like it's on one layer…but once again, the correct approach is to,…if you can,…use as many layers as possible.…
So, this is an ellipse tool that was already done…with something like this.…And if I actually pick better lines than that…we can make that resemble the final thing of it better.…So, it was simple to make.…They're all the most basic of forms, the basic of shapes.…And then the duplicate of that, just twist it slightly down…just to give it this really nice rim.…Very subtle touch.…So we can switch that off.…
