The Oval Tool of Flash is one of the most frequently used tools in any
Flash web site design project. The tool is used to draw ovals and circles. Since most Flash animation designs infuse oval and circle shapes onto the projects, the use of the Oval Tool can also be seen in the industry up to a remarkable extent. In order to draw a perfect circle, you need to hold down the Shift key. It will restrict the drawn objects proportions to that of a circle. If you keep selected the Snap to Objects option while drawing an oval, the shape will be seen snapping to a perfect circle, if dragged at a 45 degree.
The Oval Tool of Flash also comes with Smooth and Straighten options. By selecting them, you can also adjust your already drawn shapes as per your requirements.
