Tools Panel Subsections

     

The Tools panel is divided into subsections, including a View section, a Colors section, and one or more sections for editing tools. Flash also has an Options section where you select options associated with the currently selected editing tool, such as the Round Rectangle Radius option shown in Figure 3.1. Fireworks also has a Web section, with tools for preparing graphics for use on the Web.

The View section contains tools to manipulate the view of the workspace, as opposed to objects in the workspace. The Hand tool and the Zoom tool are common to Flash, Fireworks, and FreeHand. (Refer to Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.4.)
