Snap To it

[ LiB ]

Sometimes, when you've created artwork, a symbol, or text on your Stage and you need to move it around, you want to do so freely, and other times you may want a little help from a friend. Flash allows for Object Snapping, which in effect will snap reference points of an object that you're dragging to reference points of other existing objects. This can aid you when trying to line things up or placing an object on a guide. To enable the feature, select the Arrow Tool from the Toolbar and then make sure the Snap to Objects modifier (magnet) is active. You can also enable this by going to View > Snap to Objects. Once active, you'll notice objects will snap to one another, indicated by a dark circle when you move one object close to another. For optimal use, always drag an object by its corners or center point.
