Adobe’s premier designing software Flash has been in the scenario for quite a long time now. Nevertheless, the software is earning warm accolades from the world designing fraternity. What’s special there in Flash? After its first release, several editions have hit the market with incorporation of newest features and updates. But there is one thing still unchanged in Flash – the ease of use. Perhaps, that’s the reason why Flash is still leading the graphic designing tally. From custom Flash web design firms to professional Flash web site design agencies, the usage of Flash is still going strong everywhere.
Snaps to Objects Tool is one of the most commonly used Flash tools. It’s an option to the Arrow Tool and it’s used to have artwork snap to the grid. The Snap to Objects Tool is also responsible for causing object to snap to one another when the user places the graphics. But it depends on how close the objects vertically or horizontally are. When you move objects they are likely to snap or jump to the edge of the nearest object. By turning off the function, you can drag your shapes more freely. You can follow the tips given below:
- Select View > Snapping. Using the submenu select Snap to Objects if it's not selected.
- Select the Nav layer in the Timeline.
- Go to Library panel and drag the nav graphic to any Stage area below the blue banner. Release the nav graphic.
- Click the upper-left corner of the nav graphic, and drag it thus helping in the emergence of a circular snap indicator.
- Drag the upper-left corner of the nav bar with the snap indicator visible, and snap it into place against the lower-left corner of the blue banner.
For all professional Flash website design companies, the Snaps to Objects Tool has proved to be a very fertile feature. You can ask any professional Flash web design expert for more information about the function.
