Stupid Flash Pro CS5 - Hardware & Software

I'm new to Flash. I don't know that much about it. I have a quick question for you guys, about, what the title said, Adobe Flash CS5. When I first used it, I could draw using the brush tool and then change the color of the brush, and the line wouldn't change color. Now, I don't know what happened, but when I draw a line, a box appears around it and it stays selected. It's annoying me because it's also hard to see smaller shapes. How can I turn that 'selection box' off? Oh and, I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. I didn't really know where to ask this :v: [editline]here[/editline] Oh, I messed up the title. meant to say "Stupid Flash CS5 Question"

Why buy Flash Pro CS5 if you don't know much about it? :smug:

I'm not using the trial and I didn't buy it or myself, someone gave it to me. Why reply if you're not going to help.

Why expect helpful replies if you're being an ass? I mean, this is a public forum, as long as people are willing to help you, they will. Others are as able to post here as I'm able to post this: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/ninjachan/Humor/DERP-megaman.jpg[/img]

You can probably search for the same thing in CS4 or CS3, they are pretty similar. I'm not very familiar with the software itself, but that is my $.02

This doesn't happen for me, maybe try reinstalling or seeing if you accidentally changed some settings?

or, just look online, they have almost all the tutorials in some form or another.

Everytime you draw something, it's put into a little group. You can either ungroup (Ctrl+U or CTRL+G, not sure), or through the menu, ungroup it. OR, I'm not sure about CS5, but there should be a little blue circle in the toolbox area that's clicked, unclick it and it should no longer group your drawings. Enjoy!

Sadly, that didn't work. :\ [editline]02:41AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Matt0690;22867439]hey, you get out of here, your not so post to be selling or talking about warez anyways lol'd at the fact that your a 09'er with almost 4k posts maybe if you practiced your flash instead of .... also go buy the actual copy coders need money also[/QUOTE] you can't say hey I pirated this shit!!11! or I'm selling cracked keys!!1! You can discuss the game/app though. And I didn't pirate it.

Flash isn't too amazing for illustration/drawing, the idea is to make the assets in illustrator and photoshop and bring them into flash, unless you're a frame by frame animator or something.
