4. To end the transformation, click outside the selected object or objects.
Note: When you increase the size of a number of items, items near the edges of the bounding box might be moved off the Stage. If this
occurs, select View > Pasteboard to see the elements that are beyond the edges of the Stage.
Rotate and skew objects
Rotating an object turns it around its transformation point. The transformation point is aligned with the registration point, which defaults to the
center of the object, but you can move the point by dragging it.
You can rotate an object by the following methods:
Dragging with the Free Transform tool (you can skew and scale the object in the same operation).
By specifying an angle in the Transform panel (you can scale the object in the same operation).
Rotate and skew objects by dragging
1. Select the object or objects on the Stage.
2. Select Modify > Transform > Rotate And Skew.
3. Do one of the following:
Drag a corner handle to rotate the object.
Drag a center handle to skew the object.
4. To end the transformation, click outside the selected object or objects.
Rotate objects by 90°
1. Select the object or objects.
2. Select Modify > Transform > Rotate 90° CW to rotate clockwise, or Rotate 90° CCW to rotate counterclockwise.
Skew objects
Skewing an object transforms it by slanting it along one or both axes. You can skew an object by dragging or by entering a value in the Transform
panel.
1. Select the object or objects.
2. Select Window > Transform.
3. Click Skew.
4. Enter angles for the horizontal and vertical values.
Flip objects
You can flip objects across their vertical or horizontal axis without moving their relative position on the Stage.
1. Select the object.
2. Select Modify > Transform > Flip Vertical or Flip Horizontal.
Restore transformed objects
When you use the Free Transform tool or the Transform panel to scale, rotate, and skew instances, groups, and text, Flash saves the original size
and rotation values with the object. This lets you remove the transformations you applied and restore the original values.
You can undo only the most recent transformation when you select Edit > Undo. You can remove all transformations by clicking the Remove
Transform button in the panel before you deselect the object. After you deselect the object the original values are lost and the transformation
cannot be removed.
Restore a transformed object to its original state
1. Ensure the transformed object is still selected.
2. Do one of the following:
Click the Remove Transform button in the Transform panel
Select Modify > Transform > Remove Transform
