This is probably quite simple for all you guys, but as a Flash newbie I can;t seem to do this. I have a large letter "S" in Arial, however, I just want the outline of the letter, i tried tracing it with the 'smooth' pencil and it looks ok - but still a bit crappy, is there an automatic way of getting the outline?
