would it be possible to make rounded corners like at http://jam-factory.com/web.php
using just flash and no image editor?

Should be able to. I seem to recall Flash has a rounded rectangle drawing tool...

ah, my problem is that i'm using a gradient background and as such using the rounded rectangle tool doesnt work - you can see the border.

i know that its possible to change the gradient of the border but i wondered if there was any more simple/sensible ways?

I'm unclear on what you mean. Which border can you see? And how is it bad to see the border of a button or section?

i was hoping to make it in the same style as the link, so that it looks sort of like round windows with the picture inside, if you understand what i mean?

I'm still not 100% clear on it. I don't suppose you could throw together a sketch of some sort?

use the rectangle tool. under Options in the tool bar, there is a tool called "Set Corner Radius" higher the number, more rounder it is. I think you should use around 3-5

ARRGH read the rest of the thread before posting, and just fyi; you can double click on the rectangle tool to change the corner radius

I read the whole thread and your not making much sence. You want rounded corners? and the border have a gradient? I have no idea what you are tring to say

well, i was looking for the actual corners of the image to be rounded, as opposed to having a border over the top of the images with the corners rounded, because the website that i was going to use it on has a gradient on it and would highlight the borders, unfortunately the gradient borders idea wouldnt have worked due to the useage of transparencies.

thanks anyway though

oh. your problem is that your picture corners arn't rounded? ok. this is what you do

1) Draw a rounded rectangle with the border
2) Cut the border out and put it on a layer on top (in the same place, just different layer)
3) have the picture in a layer under the Rectangle fill
4) right click the Rectangle fill layer, and click "Mask"

The picture layer (within the timeline) indented and just under the mask layer. If not, just drag the layer a little to the right, and it should snap in.
