I am having an issue in flash mx.
I'm drawing simple vector shapes with the pen tool. When I deselect the shape and then select it again, there are more points in the outline than I added.
Why is flash adding these extra points in my shapes?
Can I stop this? It is adding way too much in editing time of the shapes.
Thanks!

i think it might be to do creating better curves?
try not to use flash for illustration... draw out in illustrator?
but if your animating, well erm no fix i don't think..

The Flash pen tool is just for fun. It can never be as good as Freehand or Illustrator, because it uses Quadratic bezier curves. The math is different.
Here's macromedia's explanation:

I see now, thanks.
So if i want to draw a simple rectangle with slight curves in the sides I should do it in an external program and then copy it into flash.
Then, do the same thing everytime I want to edit it.
nice. that doen't make me happy.

use Freehand MX, the swf export options are fantastic, and the app has become quite phenomenal as well...

Illustrator exports to swf as well
