help !

you might wanna try this in a different section... along with breaking it apart and morphing it.

Bend eh? Hmm...bend bend bend..

Well, bending is complex, usually only things like 3D packages can actually bend, maybe Swift 3D can too. You can make things seem to bend by skewing your selection (if you have MX) but other than this, i'm afraid Flash can't handle bending, as it is only a 2D program...

yea id go with 3ds max and convert it to flash with swift plugin

If you have illustrator, check out buying KTP Vector Effects plugin, you can bend stuff in that, plus it won't cost you a hekc of a lot of money :D

My sig was done with it...a bad example actually, its a great plugin.

depends what your trying to bend man if its just a line just put the mouse in the middle of it and drag in either direction or if you just want a bent graphic you could export as a gif or jpg depending on whether you have invisible parts and then im sure there is a filter or combination of filters that could do this for you in PS... in fact if you want to creat an animation of bending graphics put them in photoshop bend them a little save it bend it more save it as a differnt name and keep bending it until you have a group of images that you can put together in a line to make it look like its bending...i have done this when making a watery substance turn into text
