Hi - could anyone help me please, I'm trying to draw a globe, with a radial
fill, where the radial fill (light if you like) is off centre? I've got the
globe, and the fill, but the fill starts dead center - how do I offset it?

Thank you very much,

Mark

Select the object, click on the Paint Bucket tool and manipulate the
fill with the mouse. Drag the round end to position the fill and drag
the square end to manipulate the length and angle of the fill.

Hi Alex - thank you very much - I'm not a graphics person, and brand new to
Fireworks.

If I could expand now - I have horizontal and vertical lines on the globe - 2
of each - which I've drawn using the Ellipse tool. Is there anyway to 'tilt'
these to give the impression the globe is resting off it's main axis? (sort of
like this one: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~chrisw/figs/globe.jpg">http://www.gps.caltech.
edu/~chrisw/figs/globe.jpg</a> )

Thank you,

Mark

Mark,

That would be a matter of creating those ovals and cutting off the
overlapping parts with the slice tool.
I would start with the smallest oval on the top, duplicate it and resize.
