Cutting in a circle in Flash!? easy... :(

NazWeb · 02-07-2002, 09:17 PM

Listen I have pictures that I want to be perfectly round in Flash and cant for the life of me find out how to cut these out!

When I import into Flash it comes in like a square or rectangle or whatever and I break it up, and I want the very center (they are pics of people) in a Circle to be the only thing left...

Someone help..please?!?

Seems Flash would of thought of a way to do this since Fireworks and Photoshop can....

here's an easier way

Use the image file as a FILL > BMP for a circle drawn on the flash stage.

Import your image (so its in the library) then draw a circle on yoru stage. In your Fill values choose BMP from your drop down menu. Then your pic from the choices.
